Top quotes you might've missed from Broncos AFC Championship victory

Anytime there’s a win as big as the Broncos has on Sunday afternoon, clinching a spot in Super Bowl 50, the quotes come out in bunches, some make bigger waves than others and those are the ones that make the big stories. With that being said, when a win is that big, you deserve to see all of the good quotes, so we compiled our favorites that might not have made headlines.

Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips on the Broncos plethora of close wins:

“I think it’s the most wins since the ’78 Oilers—close wins. I’m familiar with that team because I was on that team, and that’s when I started getting grey hair.”

Linebacker Von Miller on his interception:

“I’ll tell you, I can do it all. I’m just playing. It was just a call that we had. We wanted to put a little bit of extra sauce on Gronk. He’s a great player. All of the plays that he made toward the end of the game, it was great. Gronkowski, he’s a great player. I was only trying to put a little extra sauce on him, like I said. I got off, I rolled to him and I saw Brady looking at me so I just expanded and he threw it to me.”

Punter Britton Colquitt On how much this Super Bowl berth means to his unit:

“Everybody wants to feel like they are part of it, and there are times when you have [QB] Peyton Manning as a quarterback that you don’t feel like it even matters if you show up sometimes (laughter). It feels good to be a part of it and just to help your team win. We are just the guys in the background, but if you need us, we need to be there to help you out. It feels good.”

Linebacker Brandon Marshall on the defense playing with a chip on their shoulder:

“We play with a chip every week, so it doesn’t matter what anybody else says because those fans they aren’t going to win the game. Whatever they say, the projections, the predictions, none of that matters because we know who we are. We’re confident in ourselves, we’re confident in our abilities and we showed it on the field today.”

Marshall on if he felt the Patriots were overlooking them:

“No, I don’t think they were overlooking us, I think the media was overlooking us. All the media were talking about who the Patriots were going to play in the Super Bowl but they forgot they had the Broncos in the way.”

Cornerback Aqib Talib on if it is scary when Rob Gronkowski is on the field:

“I am not scared, never scared. We are not ever scared.”

Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas on winning two AFC Championships in three years:

“This organization, they’ve been winning for a long time. I know when I got drafted, they said ‘Denver always wins.’ I’m happy to be here. It’s just a blessing. Hard work pays off, and they do a great job in the front office getting players in that are going to play hard. That’s what we do: we grind it out, give ourselves chances and take advantage of them.”

Safety T.J Ward on Wade Phillips

“Wade is a great coach. Not only is he a great coach, he’s a great friend. Every guy on this defense is a friend of Wade’s and vice-versa. He talks to his players, he communicates with us and he trusts us, so we trust him.”
