Rex Ryan and the New York Jets have not been shy about providing interesting quotes and controversial material in the days leading up to their playoff games.

First it was Ryan and all his comments about the showdown with Peyton Manning being "personal." Then it was Antonio Cromartie saying he hatesTom Brady and Bart Scott bashing the Pats defense after Sunday's AFC divisional.

Now, Ryan has something to say about the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers team's opponent in the AFC Championship Game.

According to ESPN.com, Ryan said "They've had six Super Bowl trophies....If they want to put them on the field, we will play them, too."

Ryan remains supremely confident that it will be his team that contends for this year's Super Bowl trophy.  

"I can assure you we are going to play well and I can assure you that team [Pittsburgh] is going to get everything we have just like always. We know what's at stake. We want the [AFC championship] T-shirt, we want the hat and we want the trophy. So I don't know what else I need to say."
