"It was physical football game. They’re one of the most physical football teams in the NFL the Baltimore Ravens. That’s what they pride themselves on, so there was a lot of hitting going on, but it’s the AFC Championship game, so you expect that."
"They had a good game plan. Give them credit, they played a really good game today. They played better than we did and that is why they won."
"They made more plays than we did and at the end it just wasn’t enough for us. That’s the way it goes."
"It’s always hard. You put a lot into it all year round and we want to finish strong; we just didn’t do that."
"To come so far in the season - whoever won this game, obviously, [making] a trip to the Super Bowl. I can’t give them enough credit. They were the better team today and that’s all that matters; whoever plays the best football today they move on."
"Right now it is hard. After a loss like this it is hard. This is just about as low as you feel. After a long season of getting to this point and it ends like this. I think tomorrow we will get in and with a little bit more clear conscience and start to think about the season that we did have and some of the good things that we did do. To get to this point is a great thing but we fell a little short of our goal."
"It is the worst feeling. You get this far, you don’t see your season coming to end. You can’t prepare for this."
"Very disappointing. When you work so hard to get to this point… somebody has to win and lose. It's very disappointing, but we have a hell of a team. We know what it takes to win. We’re going to fight our tails off in the offseason. We’re going to get back to playing the way we want to play."
"Only two teams advance and those two teams deserve it. We’ve lost before. It takes awhile to get over."
"You play a game this time of year, you’re either euphoria or it’s a crash landing. For us, it’s a crash landing… there’s no in-between. There’s certainly no soft landing."
"We failed to execute. They made their plays and we came up short on the times when we had opportunities to make plays. Back to the drawing board, back to the offseason, attack that and get ready."
"The players worked hard behind the scenes… didn’t make excuses, got better over the course of the season, both individually and collectively. The outcome is not what we wanted, but I give these guys a lot of credit for what they did do."
"The sun will come up tomorrow and we’ll just try and move on."
"We’ll be back here."
