Facts, Stats, and Quotes from Atlanta’s Monday Night Football Win

QUOTE FROM RAHEEM MORRIS

When he was given the match ball after his first victory as head coach…

“I’ve been given a lot of game balls in my life. This one is really special because of that team, because of the people that work in our building, that you really know, and because of the guys that we do it for. … It’s special in our building. We want to make this a special place for ourselves.”

QUOTES FROM THE FALCONIES

Running back Bijan Robinson

On the final touchdown drive of the offense…

“I couldn’t believe it. I looked over to the other side, because I was on the other side. I didn’t know what happened. Because Drake was walking like something happened. I was like, ‘Did we score?’ They scored the touchdown and I was like, ‘Bro, this is crazy, this is amazing.’ It was the best feeling ever. That drive was clear, perfect. It was just fun to be there.”

About his interception that silenced the Eagles fans who did not give him a warm welcome…

“I hit the Dirty Bird. That’s my way of hitting them back.”

THE OPPONENT QUOTES

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni

On defense facing Falcons running back Bijan Robinson…

“I thought the guys, early on, were really trying hard with the ball. We knew we had to do that with Bijan, the way he can make someone miss. It felt like there was someone on his hip when he made someone miss. We knew he was going to make a few that some guys were going to miss, but our emphasis was on trying to make sure we were there with the rest of the guys to pick up the pieces.”

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts

On what he saw in red zone efficiency…

“We’re pretty aggressive in the red zone, we come out early. We definitely had some chances to score in the red zone, but we didn’t. I have a lot of respect for the team we just played and that defense. They had two great safeties, a great defensive back group, and they were disruptive up front. When they finally had a chance to score, they did it. A lot of respect to them.”
