Facts, stats, quotes about Atlanta’s win on Monday Night Football

Quote by Raheem Morris

On handing over the match ball after his first victory as head coach …

“I’ve gotten a lot of game balls in my life. This one is really special because of this team, because of the people that work in our building that you know really well and the guys that we do this for. … There’s something special in our building. We want to make this thing a special place for us.”

Quote from “The Falcons”

Running back Bijan Robinson

On the last 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 had happened. Because Drake was walking like something had happened. I was like, ‘Did we score?’ They scored the touchdown and I was like, ‘Dude, this is crazy, this is unbelievable.’ It was the best feeling ever. Obviously that drive was, like, perfect. It was just fun to be out there.”

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

“I hit the Dirty Bird. I’m going to flick them away again.”

Opponent’s quote

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni

On the defensive performance against Falcons running back Bijan Robinson …

“I thought the guys tried really hard at the beginning. We knew we had to do that with Bijan because he can outsmart somebody. It felt like every time he outsmarted somebody, there was someone right there with him. We knew he was going to throw some balls that would outsmart some, but our main focus was making sure we were there with the other guys to pick up the pieces.”

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts

On his observation regarding efficiency in the red zone…

“We’re pretty aggressive in the red zone and we get out of the gate early. We definitely had some opportunities to score in the red zone and didn’t get it done. 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 had an opportunity to score at the end, they did it. Big respect to them.”
