ball game great special tough
We've got a tough group. You have to do something special to get a game ball from them, but (Smith) did a great job.
ball knew run
We knew they wanted to run the ball and use the clock. Once we got ahead, we were able to not let that happen.
ball bit certainly commitment left maybe playing run sharper
I think (the Steelers) are playing a little bit sharper and maybe with a little bit more resolve. I think they made a commitment to run the ball when they left here, and they're certainly doing it very well.
anybody ball best challenge england front mission playing satisfied straight super team tough win won
Our mission is to win a Super Bowl. And we know we've got a very, very tough team in front of us. New England has won about 13 straight and they're playing the best ball of anybody in the league. Going up there is going to be tough. We know what the challenge is, but we're not going to be satisfied just getting to the championship game. We think we've got a team that can win it.
ball balls dropped drove field finish missed people slow
We drove the ball and just didn't finish some drives. If people want to make us go down the field at a slow pace, we can do that when we don't have all the penalties, dropped balls and missed assignments.
balls gotten knocked loose win
We've knocked a lot of balls loose and had some fumbles on the ground, but we just haven't gotten them. We've got to keep pressing and persevering because that will not win for us down the stretch.

balls generally guys knew martin plays situation throw
It's just that guys were very focused. We knew where a lot of the balls would go, and once we got into a situation where Martin had to throw and try to make some plays ... that's when you generally get the interceptions.

Baltimore is very physical. They run the ball very well. they pound it. They've got an improved groups of receivers. Defensively, they do a lot of things. They have very good personnel and they're physical. It's going to be a tough, rough game.
games careers balls
The game has changed since the '70s as more coaches have looked at ways to make it tougher on defenses. But I'm glad my career turned out the way it did - I would have never gotten a chance to learn the defensive side of the ball.
school way balls
I had 10 to 12 close buddies who I played ball with all the way from elementary to high school. That is where I learned to compete.

When we do what we're supposed to do and execute the play, we've been pretty good on third-and-1 or 2.
