"It's a great feeling because I know how hard we've worked as a team. We've certainly worked hard in years past, also, and it's been hard not only to lose in the playoffs, but it's been hard to watch these other teams hoist that trophy, knowing that maybe the ones that have beaten you have won the Super Bowl. That's a hard pill to swallow, kind of always watching and realizing how bad you want to be out there the next year. It's nice to be able to hoist that trophy this year."
-Colts QB Peyton Manning
