"This isn't like it was the first two years. I wouldn't say that we're bored, but it's just not the same exciting
adventure it was in the other years. I came here to talk about the Super Bowl, but I have so little conversation about it,
I really don't know what to say anymore. People want to hear me talk about faith and morals. That's fine, but I'm a
football player." -Dolphins RB Larry Csonka, before the game |
Minnesota Vikings (14-2) |
Miami Dolphins (14-2) |
