I suched as the black and yellow, dark as well as gold, so it was actually spectacular to place the brand new threads on as well as type of obtain a new arena, receive a brand-new feeling." Though the Steelers' early rides slowed out, Area revealed flashes of his playmaking ability as he accomplished his initial 5 attempts, consisting of a 20-yard dart to receiver Van Jefferson." I believe that I resided in a good rhythm, and also I assume we were moving the ball well," Area mentioned. "I believe only the fumbled snaps, traits like that, they may kill a whole drive, but I think the general rhythm of factors I believe our experts remain in as well as away from the huddle quick and felt really good."

I believe the general procedure went well and also simply the coordinations of everything went well.".
