New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis - Ingles

January 17, 2011

On how much playing at Pittsburgh earlier this year can help the Jets…

“I think it helps a lot. I think just playing on the road; we’ve won a lot on the road this year, and this postseason we’ve been on the road as well, so I think we carry ourselves with a lot of character going into the game. We might be the underdogs, and we have to prove everybody wrong.”

On what he learned from playing in the AFC Championship Game last year…

“Just execute and don’t make mistakes. In the AFC Championship Game last year, we made a lot of mistakes. We were up 17-12 at halftime and in the second half, we made a lot of mistakes that (Indianapolis QB) Peyton (Manning) took advantage of. In this game, we’ve just got to have no mistakes and play a perfect game.”

On whether he feels any additional pressure after coming so close…

“We’re back in the same place. I think we’re excited, we enjoy it, because anything less would be failure. I think we’re OK. We just need to take this week and work hard and prepare. We’re one game away from where we want to be. We’ve talked about it all year about going to the Super Bowl and winning it, so this is just another stepping stone. We don’t need to put the pressure on us; just relax and be confident in what we believe in.”

On whether the team is satisfied that they are back in the AFC Championship Game…

“We’re very excited. We were very excited after the win. Everybody doubted us and we just wanted to prove people wrong. We knew the game was going to be tough against (New England QB) Tom (Brady) and the Patriots, but we believed. I think that’s the thing about this team: we have a lot of confidence, and at one point we’ve got to back up what we say and we do that.”

On how playing at Pittsburgh will compare to playing at New England last Sunday…

“I think we’ve got to take the same approach, of this just being a road game and this being a hostile environment. New England is a tough place to play; and playing at Pittsburgh, I’ll say it’s tougher than playing the Patriots. We’ve just got to take the same approach. We know it’s a road game, but also in the back of our minds we know it’s the AFC Championship.”
