Wide Receiver Kenny Stills

(On the playoffs) – “We have to realize the significance of every play. So you have to really just seize the moment and go out there and finish every play and know that the game is on the line.”

(Does the week leading up to the playoff change? Anything change during the week or is it the same thing that got you here?) – “No, it’s the same preparation.”

(What are the pros and cons of playing a team that you have already seen before this season?) – “People always say that it’s hard to beat a team twice, but it’s football. You just have to prepare, go out there and be on top of your details, don’t turn the ball over, don’t get penalties, play clean football and try to come out with a victory.”

(If it’s cold there, is playing in adverse weather just a mindset…) – “The cold has nothing to do with the game. We’re just going to go out there and play football.”

(Experience. How do you avoid not trying to do too much because you know it’s the playoffs and it’s one and done and all that?) – “You just go out there and play your game (and) prepare like it’s any other game and know that it’s one and done. You just have to, like I said, leave it all out there on the field.”

(Is it tough to do that?) – “No. For us, we don’t have too many guys that have playoff experience and so we just go out there and play like we have been, have fun and let it loose. We know that if we do our thing, that we give ourselves the best opportunity to win.”

(Are you going to say anything to guys that haven’t had playoff experience? Do you tell them or give them any advice?) – “All the guys here have played in big games before in college, whatever. So they understand. We’ll be ready.”

(Regardless of not getting the result that you guys wanted, just the fact that you were able to wake up this morning that you guys are going to the playoffs, that feeling that you guys had some sort of accomplishment.) – “So what’s the question?”

(The fact that you woke up this morning and you guys are in the playoffs, no matter what happened yesterday. Forgetting yesterday, moving on to today knowing that you guys are…) – “You’re never happy with a loss, especially against the Patriots, and so we have to clean up the mistakes we made yesterday and move forward from it and know that we have another game coming up this week. We can’t do that again or we’ll be going home.”

(What do you remember about the challenges of the Pittsburgh defense?) – “They play physical, sound defense, and like I said, it’s more about us than it is the other team. So if we go out and play our game, we know we’ll be fine.”
