Pence had the following to say to the fans after the game, before leading them in another Yes chant:
“Right now we’re not guaranteed another game here at home. We’ve got to go earn that. It’s a part of the journey. Do you guys want to see another game here at home? Yes! Yes! Yes!
That’s what I’m talking about. Some of you are coming to Pittsburgh, some of you are going to be sitting on your couches, but you’re with us and you’re sharing that vision. Thank you! It’s been unbelievable and we cannot wait to see you again. One more time: Yes! Yes! Yes!””
