«You don't win championships in September, obviously. You don't win them in Week 8. You don't win them with one game. This is going to be a tough deal for us to come back. Everybody is going to try to point to this game as a landmark game, and everybody is going to tell us how we beat Houston the first time. Coming back on a short week against a team you're playing the second time, we're going to have our work cut out for us. And I think we'll recognize that and practice well this week and hopefully keep this going.»

«I told our guys in the locker room, Pittsburgh beat these guys (Patriots) last year in the regular season and couldn't do it in the playoffs. Week eight doesn't guarantee anything.»

« . . . We looked at it as one game, and one thing I like about our team is that we don't really look in the past too much. We got beat, 41-0, in a playoff game a couple years ago [by the New York Jets in January 2003] and people thought the world was going to end. We came out the next year, and that wasn't really on our mind. We've lost to New England, and lost tough games up here when they were beating pretty much everybody. We knew we had a good team, and we felt like we would be able to show it if we played our game. And fortunately, we did. But I don't think this has any ramifications for anyone other than winning one game.»

«I told our guys that Pittsburgh beat them last year and lost to them in the playoffs. Week 8 doesn't guarantee us anything.»

«It was really one of the more enjoyable nights I've had,»

«You get all these stats about the last team that won their first eight or nine games or the last unbeaten team going to the Super Bowl. It's like the Indy-New England spiel, it really doesn't mean anything.»

«We're 8-0 and, obviously, we're happy with that. We're looking forward to this week and it's a short week. But when the guys realize how hard it has been to win these eight, and then to do it all over again, that's tough.»

«We talked about that a little bit in the locker room tonight. We're a good team and we're good when we play our game,»

«You don't win championships in September or October. You don't win them in week eight. You don't win them with one game.»

«We're fortunate we have some good veteran leaders who practice and play hard, and that's what we've got to continue to do. You don't win a championship in September or October. You don't win them in Week 8.»
