“Obviously, it’s a big win and a special night for us with all of it kind of culminating in one game.

We’ve had a lot of good games against those guys and we have a ton of respect for them.

It was his second year in the league and they went on to the Superbowl that year and lost to the 49ers. I was just playing college football at that time, but over the years when you watch tape, watch him play, he was an amazing player. I told our players I think it’s important we understand and recognize the history of our league. This is a guy that had staying power; a lot of guys were drafted before him.

I couldn’t be more proud of him.”
