“If anything, I will remember that play more than a run. I love plays like that where I can help the team. Calvin scored and that means a lot. Seeing him score after that. I’m glad I did my job, my 1/11th to see him succeed.”

Roethlisberger said he was always against music in the locker room because when Dan Rooney was around, if he came in the room, you wanted to be able to hear what he had to say. Ben said the young players don't understand it, he was like a grandfather to all of us.
Pete Carroll on Roethlisberger-“When I addressed the team and talked to them about the Steelers and we talked about Ben. Everybody watched him his whole career. He’s been around forever. He’s an iconic football player in the NFL."
Najee asked if he took it all in Monday-“I didn’t take it in the way Ben did. He’s on his way out & I’m here. I looked at it in a different way. What can we do to get better as a team to keep this energy going here, to keep these smiles on the fans faces & to keep going as a team

Sidney Crosby on Jake Guentzel
“He’s a great player, a great teammate, a friend. Did everything he possibly could during his time here. I was privileged to play with him over the course of that time. Some great memories.”
Diontae Johnson-“It could be anything when it comes to them. When I say them, I mean the coaches. I’m not throwing them under the bus, but we can only do what they tell us to do and make plays. That’s about it.”
While Joe Maddon is out after five seasons, he is tied to Chicago forever after managing the Cubs to the 2016 World Series title for the franchise's first championship in 108 years.

Ben-“18 yrs ago a young, 1st round QB came in & helped an old RB win one of the most important games. Now you flip it around to last week a young,1st round RB helped an old QB win one of the most important games of his career. It’s cool how this football thing comes full circle.”

LT Dan Moore on Kenny Pickett "He's got swag. He's got natural leadership qualities. I like the kid. He's competitive. He's not afraid of anything, he's tough. I love him."
Ebron-“We not as like, ‘oh we won, yeah’. We are like we have 10 wins how in the hell do we get 11. We have 11 wins, how do we get 12. I feel like this team has a purpose & when you wake up with a purpose & do things with a purpose it causes for things to be done the right way.”
Cam Heyward-“I remember when I used to watch Ben. I remember that Super Bowl game playing Arizona. He’s made some moments. I’ve been appreciative just to be his teammate. Just want to send him off with everything I can.”

Kenny Pickett-“I do not like to lose. This is not a good feeling. I don’t want it to be a familiar feeling. I definitely want to get back out there and get a victory and get us back on track. A little bit of an edge to me, I want that to rub off on everybody.”

Ben-I'm not taking any shots at anybody, but if you didn't know who America's team was, you should have seen the stands and all of the Terrible Towels. Dallas may be America's team but we will be the World's team because we have fans everywhere & they are the best in the world."
