When you think about the Super Bowl, you imagine yourself coming and playing your best football, and it wasn't that way.

I just found that out, I didn't know he said that. But that's good when the coach says something like that. I've done everything I can. I really tried to step my game up to be the best that I can be for this team. I want them to know they can count on me when it's crunch time.

I plan on and want to be the best quarterback to ever play the game.

I don't think anybody's picking us to win. They're the best football team in the NFL and we're just the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He's one of my best friends on the team, and we hang out all the time, so I know how excited he gets, ... Most people wouldn't know that because he's one of those guys who you have to know pretty well to get him to loosen up.

This is the best part of it, talking to you guys. Being the quarterback, you know that cameras are pointed at you and people want to talk to you. You have to be smart ? and know it comes with the territory.

It was real tough for me to miss that game for my guys. I want them to know they can count on me, so that was tough and that's why I try to be out there. But coach made the decision and all I could do was the best I could on the sidelines.

It's amazing. I just feel so blessed. To be able to come out and not play my best and still win... I feel blessed.

Matt is a phenomenal quarterback. He's a great leader. He's very good with his feet and he has a great arm. He always seems to know what he's doing, making sure his offense has the best play possible.
