“When Ben Roethlisberger gave me the ball and said that he had made good on the promise that he was going to get me there, that was a special moment for me,” said Bettis. “And then the last moment was holding the trophy up and saying that the last stop for ‘The Bus’ was here, winning the Super Bowl. That was the best sendoff I could ever get.

“It was a really magical moment. To be able to hoist the trophy up and be champions, that was special.” — Jerome Bettis, from ‘A season dreams were made of‘.
