Ben Roethlisberger Win Quotations

The last time we played them at home, we threw a lot more. I think if we don't turn the ball over, then we probably win that game. So if it comes down to that, I think we can (win).

It means a lot to be able to bring Jerome back, and we'd love to win it for him. It means a lot for a guy who is not only an ambassador for this team, he's an ambassador for the NFL, and he's just a great person and a great role model for people.

I'm a win-at-all-costs guy.

In the playoffs, it is do or die. You win or you go home. As a competitor, you love it.

I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won't even start eating until he's sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose.

The biggest thing isn't necessarily how I play, but that we win. That's my number-one goal. I could be the worst quarterback out there, but if we come out with a victory that's all that matters to me.

I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.

That doesn't mean anything to me. I'm just focused on trying to win the game.

He said that he thought he was going to make it back and he never got to play in it again. He told me to enjoy it but to take it serious enough because you want to win it since it could be your only time getting here.

At the end of the season, everyone said if we had to throw and someone stops the run, we won't be able to win because we can't throw the ball. The last couple of games, we've won by throwing. When you put it on our shoulders, we've proven we're a balanced offense and we can throw.

I was so mad that we lost the game. I kind of went into a depression and didn't shave and we ended up winning the next game. And I am kind of superstitious - just a little bit to people who know me - but we won that game and I said I am just going to keep it going until we lose and we kept it going. I don't really like the beard you know. But we were winning so I had to keep it going.

It was absolutely awesome to come up here and win one for Jerome. To win for the Rooney family and for our teammates and all our fans.

Everyone always said coming into the end of the season that if we had to throw the ball, if someone stops the run, then we won't be able to win. But in the last couple games, we have won by throwing the ball. We can prove that we are a balanced offense.

I promised Jerome last year that I would get him here. I didn't promise him that I would win it, but I promised I would get him here.

It definitely motivates you to play better and not let your guys down, especially guys like Jerome Bettis, who are in this game to win it. You don't want to let him down like I felt I did last year.

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.

I don't think we're there yet. But we got the win today. That's what's most important. It wasn't a perfect game. But it was a win.

I feel that I'm not losing the game for our team. I'm trying to give us the best opportunity to win the football game. I did everything I could to lose the Jets game but we won. And the Patriots game, I didn't play well. I think that this year, I just come out and play smart football. I got some good advice the other day (from CBS Sports' Dan Dierdorf): Every drive that ends in a kick is a good drive.

People need to realize, and I know they won't, that there was 45 mph winds out there, and it was tough, ... A lot of those plays were not (Tommy's) fault. The wind was knocking the balls down. There was no way he should have got the criticism he did.

They started throwing people all over the place, ... You're sitting there looking at it, and a guy that's normally a linebacker is playing safety, he's dropping deep.

Hopefully this proves we can win the game if we throw the ball,

We like to think so. But we're not going to say we can go three games in a row because we want to go one game in a row. It starts this week at home. Nothing happens if we don't win this game (against Detroit). We're not thinking about anything else.

I'm more comfortable now. Last year, it was kind of 'Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous and scared, here we go. Don't make a mistake.' I'm not going to go out and play not to make a mistake this year. I'm going to go out to win football games.

A lot of people said that if we have to throw the ball, we can't win the game. Myself, the line, we took offense of that. The last couple weeks, we've proven that's not the case. We have to keep going and make sure we remain a balanced offense like we have been doing.

A lot of people said that if we had to throw the ball, we couldn't win the game. In the last three weeks, we've proved that's not the case.

It's a smaller version of Pittsburgh. The transformation I've seen is awesome. Growing up everyone was a Browns fan around there and you go back there and you don't see very much orange and brown. You see a lot of black and gold and that's just awesome.

I was nervous the whole game. . . . I couldn't get it done throwing the ball, for whatever reason.

I asked him how to deal with it all, and he gave me some words of wisdom. He told me to enjoy it, but to take it serious enough, because you want to win it since it could be your only time getting here.
