“I knew all along this was going to be a tough game. I think a lot of guys were probably a little surprised, knowing how we've been rolling the last four or five weeks. But it ain't easy to win five straight.”
Santana Moss
“I'm one who thinks the way the game is played now, it's tough to think a (defensive back) is going to have that much impact.”
Tony Dungy
“It's always tough to say, but I think we probably would have been difficult to catch. I knew we had everything we needed to win. It was ours to lose this weekend and we didn't.”
Sebastien Bourdais
“That's the frustrating thing. We've played them tough every game and just come up short. I think it's their championship experience and getting tougher down the stretch that hurts us.”
Michael Redd
“It was a very tough game. We knew it was going to be tight and although we lost, it was a good performance by the boys. We spent a little bit too much time in our half which cost us in the end.”
John Smit
“We knew this would be a tough, close game. We had some missed opportunities but I am very proud of our defense and how we played, especially with the young group of players we have.”
Paul McGinty
“Coming off the loss to Carolina, having a really tough game, we just knew this was going to be a challenge. Do we have it or do we not have it?”
