Peter King in this week's MMQB remembers an interview with Jim Kelly in Training Camp after they had lost their 4th SB IN A ROW!!

This was told in context of how Matt Ryan can overcome the crushing defeat they suffered in the Super Bowl only 9 months ago.
Quote:
I told Ryan I recalled Jim Kelly, at training camp after Buffalo’s fourth Super Bowl loss, looking at me incredulously when I asked if he’d considered walking away from football because the pain of losing was so acute. Kelly said, basically, You’re kidding, right? I love this game. I couldn’t think of doing anything that’s a tenth as fun, even when you lose Super Bowls.

“That's the competitor's mindset, right?” Ryan said. “My thing is, what else would you rather be doing? This is a pretty good gig if you can get it.”
Luck is a pro and a competitor. If he can be on the field, he would be on the field.

Walk Worthy,
