Ben Roethlisberger Knew Quotations

We knew this was going to be a battle. The fans and (the media) are the ones (who thought otherwise).

My job is to lead this team, ... We knew it was going to be a battle and a challenge. We made some mistakes, but we had each other's backs when we need to have it and pulled through.

No one thought we could win this game except for the guys in that locker room. We knew if we wanted a chance to win, we had to come out firing on all cylinders.

We knew we had to come out firing. That set up the run.

We knew coming in that we wanted to throw the ball more, ... It's like a building block for things that we are going to have to be able to do down the road.

I turned to watch him get in the end zone. All of a sudden I see the ball just go flying. My first reaction is just to go get it, but I knew I wasn't going to get there in time, so then it's let's try and slow him down. I think I turned him enough times that he got close to me and he couldn't decide which way to go, so now I just saw his leg and grabbed it, and luckily he went down.

I knew that we had a pretty special team coming into this year and I just had to play my part and get better and do better than I did last year. The development has been a big thing. I've come a long way. We've come a long way as a team and I think that is a credit to the coaching staff and the players. We believe in what we do.

I had confidence in the guys and I had confidence in myself. I knew that when the regular season got here, and we were ready to go out and game plan and really play football when it mattered, we'd be OK. I think today we showed that we did a pretty good job - especially on offense.
