QUOTING RAHEEM MORRIS
On why wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III was inactive when healthy…
“Coaching decision on Ray-Ray tonight, just like everybody else, anybody that you put down that’s not active. Decided to put him down tonight. He’ll be back out competing next week. We’ll see where we go. We had everybody we needed. We got everybody we wanted tonight, and we got out there and got a big win.”
QUOTING THE FALCONS
Wide receiver Drake London
On whether the Falcons are overlooked…
“I think, honestly, that’s Falcons football. But we have to change the narrative. We really got to get the city behind us. We got to keep it rocking. Too many blue jerseys in there. We got to change the script.”
Offensive lineman Michael Jerrell
On if it felt like filling big shoes when taking injured left tackle Jake Matthews’ place…
“A little bit. I was like, ‘Dang, big 70’s been holding it down for — what — 12, 13 years in the league.’ I’m pretty sure fans are so used to seeing on the side that when he goes down, it’s like, ‘All right, all right, who’s the next guy? He better do a good job, just like Jake.’ So, I mean, there’s a little bit of pressure, but God put me in this position. I feel like I can take on anything.”
