Tony Gonzalez has confirmed that he is looking to win the Super Bowl with the Atlanta Falcons this season.

The tight end planned to retire at the end of the last campaign, but was convinced to return for his 17th season in the NFL.

The 37-year-old told the Falcons' website: "[My teammates] know where my head's at. My head is at getting a championship, and bringing that to the city of Atlanta. And I think they're all in the same mindset that I am.

"You look at the team and you look at the quality of players that we have. It goes back to winning a championship, that's the type of team that we have. It's all about going out there and executing and getting it right and I like where this team is headed.

"We have to go out there and prove that we're one of the best teams in the NFL. We have to do it week in and week out. I think with the leadership that we have on this team, we can do it. I'm very confident that we will get it done."

Gonzalez recorded 930 receiving yards and scored eight touchdowns for the Falcons last season.
