Referees have a hard job. I'm not going to just go out there and bash them. But at the same time, whenever there's a tough situation, you always want your call. If we had got all the calls, then Pittsburgh would be flipped around. That's football. Referees try their best, and that's all you can say.
I think that whenever you play football at any time it could be your last play. I think that's the great thing about this sport.
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 told him you never know, I might be out there with you. Whenever you lose a teammate it's rough. When you lose a friend it's worse.
I couldn't believe they did it. I just think momentum is a strong thing. Whenever you got a chance to keep momentum going, you should never change it, because it gave momentum to us.
Through generations, they taught me that it's OK to be black and confident, black and loving, and to be black and a leader.
We did let a good opportunity to be world champions slip away.

We're a passing team, there's no doubt about that, and we always have been. When you look up at the end of the year, we're going to have a lot of yards on the ground, and we're going to score a lot of touchdowns.
We have an unbelievable team, an unbelievable group of fans. Prayer works. I get knocked out and guys step up. One guy goes down and another guy steps up.
My mom told me a long time ago that the running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. She's like, 'You know everybody's chasing you, right?' Once you chose to be a running back, you take the good with the bad.
My mom told me a long time ago that running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. It just comes with the position.
March is so close. It's kind of surreal right now that we're in the Super Bowl and we lost, but I definitely feel like I'm about to have some of the greatest years of my life. To not have a real home yet, it's a weird feeling.
I was going all out and whatever happens happens. It's football. No one is ever 100 percent. I was good enough to play.
