Coach Dan Campbell on the Steelers overall:
“Steelers, man. Got a lot of respect for this team, got a lot of respect for Mike Tomlin, been doing it for a long time, heck of a coach. Their brand of football, same style, always competitive. And once again, they’re in the race for this division over there. They do it the right way, they do it the hard way, and they make you try to earn it at the end of the game.
“So, we know this’ll be one of those physical battles. We’ve got to play smart, take care of the football and be very efficient. But he’s always run a good program, and we know we’ve got our hands full.”
Quarterback Jared Goff on the Steelers playing ‘bully ball’:
“I think that has been the hallmark of who they are for however long they have been successful there. Which is a long time. They are a tough, physical team. They are AFC North. They play downhill. They are strong. That’s what they pride themselves on.”
Campbell on how well he knows Tomlin:
“Yeah, I do know him, but I wouldn’t say it’s something where I call and we talk all the time or anything like that. I’ve just got a ton of respect for him. I know what he’s about and the way he goes about his business. Anybody that I know that’s ever come across Coach Tomlin speaks so highly of him, so he’s one of one.”
Edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson on playing against Aaron Rodgers at Ford Field, where he had an interception against him:
“I’d love it if he threw me another one. That’d be great. He’s a competitor. He’s been doing it at a high level for a long time so we all have a ton of respect for him. He’s a focus this week for sure.”
Campbell on Rodgers:
“He plays fast. He plays fast and he’s accurate. I mean, he’s always had the accuracy. He’s got such a quick release. I mean, he can process it like that. And it’s with a flick of the wrist, the thing is in the receiver’s hands at a perfect location to where they can do damage once they get it into their hands. So, that has gone nowhere, his ability to get it out and play fast is still there, very much there.”
