Winners win and losers lose. We weren't winners. We're winners this year. We look at the game differently. It's not like it was last year. We have a totally different team. We expect more from each other.
I think last year was made more dramatic than it really was to me and Mike. Everybody in this whole organization, their big goal is to win a bunch of games, go undefeated here at home, get to the Super Bowl and see what happens. When everybody has that as their goal, it eliminates all the other personal goals.
What people don't realize is that he's the best fullback in football. And to me he has been for the last three years. And he's never complained about what he has to do.
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.
They've seen that tape, too. They're going to do some things better this time around than they did last time.
I think whenever you play football, at any time it could be your last play. I think that's the great thing about this sport. Every week and every play, you have to play like it's your last. I'll just go out there and play hard, and that's the best I can do.

I am proud of Mo and this whole team. I have been telling everybody for the last couple years that we were close to being a championship team, and I was proud of the guys this year for always accepting challenges. This was just another challenge. You lose a player, and guys just step up.
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.
