It's always good to win a game that you're down, win games that you should win. Our last drive was 93 yards. That's what championship teams do. We know that, and we're doing that.
That first season is over with. Now we get to start and we get to try to win two games at home to get to go to Detroit and play the best game of our life and that's really all we're focused on now.
I think the heat was awesome. I'd love to play 15 more games in that kind of weather.
Ever since (childhood), I realized that one of the coolest things in the game is scoring touchdowns. And I think mentally that still drives me.
I am a better running back every time I step on the field. I try to get better each game, each summer, each season.
We were really enjoying the laughs. All that is part of this experience.
We missed some opportunities, but at the same time you have to give Pittsburgh credit. You don't miss for no reason.
We missed some great opportunities that would have made us world champions. But at the same time, you have to give credit to Pittsburgh.

When I started here, we went 6-10 and watched other teams dance on our field to our music. I've seen us go from a team people laughed at to a team people have to respect. Now we're at the Super Bowl trying to build a dynasty.
I've seen us go from a team that was 6-10 and people would be laughing at to a team that you have to respect.
I've seen this team go from a team you would laugh at to one that you have to respect. Now we're here to play the greatest game of our lives, which we will have to do to win, and try to build a dynasty.
It was an emotional roller coaster -- going from Christmas, then your aunt dies, and then all the stats come out and you might get all these records. I've been asked, 'How do you feel?' Tired. I'm really blessed we do have this week off where I can kind of grab a hold back to reality.
I've been blessed to have Walt and Hutch. They go out there and they love beating up on people. It's a great situation.
