SUPER BOWL XLIV - SAINTS RB PIERRE THOMAS - Ingles

SAINTS RB PIERRE THOMAS

(on winning and what it means to the city of New Orleans) “It’s a wonderful experience. All my life I was told I couldn’t accomplish anything. ‘You’re not going to make it.’ I mean, we just showed everybody. You know New Orleans. They’ve been through a lot of tough times, they had Hurricane Katrina. I mean, a lot of people gave up on New Orleans and they had us behind them all the way. This is for New Orleans. Everything we did, we had New Orleans behind us. I mean, we dedicate this all to the fans. New Orleans probably has the greatest fans in the world. We had to give them something special and that’s what we did.”

(On staying calm and poised when down 10-nothing early) “You just have to take it one step at a time. We’ve been in this position before this season, we did not struggle. We kept our composure and we did what we had to do- go out here and take it to these guys.”
