"This place is special to me and I just said these people are special. That's the best time of atmosphere I've ever been in front of. I expect next week to be on top of that or second you know, and it's a special place to play and I've only been here for three years but to see us come from everywhere right now and the fans, and there's some of that it's special to be able to get this W for them and for this group," said Goff.

"After the game, they stayed. They waited until all the players, you know, got off the field. They were loud all game. Amazing. I don't know how many timeouts they caused. But I mean, you see how big that was. I think they only had one time I left so I mean being able to be here with the fans then being so in to it, so loud. I know they've been waiting for this for forever. So I'm glad we were able to give them this," said Amon-Ra St. Brown.
