“I almost gave up on [watching the game], but I didn't. When Indy got that long kickoff return late, I decided I'd hang in until the end. Glad I stayed with it. Manning was really great.”
Stephen Davis
“The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe
“Fumbled the opening kickoff, had a punt return against for a touchdown, a kickoff return against, an interception when we're knocking on the goal line, five turnovers. Just beyond belief that we would play that poorly.”
Tom Coughlin
“Fumbled the opening kickoff, had a punt return against for a touchdown, a kickoff return against, an interception when we're knocking on the goal line, five turnovers, ... Just beyond belief that we would play that poorly.”
“We talked at halftime about being the first team on opening day to score on a kickoff and punt return.”
Chad Morton
“I think the turning point was the kickoff-return fumble more than anything. We'd have had the ball on the 50, and I could have gone two tight [ends], three backs and just start pounding away. I could have done our game plan, but they took it and scored.”
Paul Barnes
“For Anthony to return that kickoff was huge. That was the turning point in the game.”
