We have a lot of things to be proud of. We took Seattle to a place it's never been before.
You are making Mike look like a genius. Hopefully, we can prove you right Sunday.
Everybody has an opinion. We decided in training camp we're not going to worry about what people say or what they do. We're going to play football. And at the end of the day, we're going to be proud of what we do.
He is really athletic and I think he will do well. He has to be in the right system and everybody has to be patient with him. He has a really good arm and can scramble, and he'll have to learn to do it at the pro level.

I love my wife and she was knocked out, so I was cleaning at 2 o'clock this morning. It's just a fun time. I'm so proud of everybody in this organization right now. We have a true family atmosphere where everybody is doing whatever it takes for us to win and keep going. It's fun.

We missed some great opportunities that would have made us world champions. But at the same time, you have to give credit to Pittsburgh.
We missed some great opportunities that could have made us world champions. But give Pittsburgh credit. You don't miss for no reason.
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.
