In a week filled with nail-biting finishes, the NFL’s fifth week delivered a plethora of thrilling quotes from triumphant teams.
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell was ecstatic, wishing he could “launch this ball into orbit” after his team’s 5-0 start, thanks in part to a stellar defensive performance that led to Aaron Rodgers’ three interceptions.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley was relieved, saying “we’ll take the clock running out” after his team snapped a three-game losing streak with a narrow win over the New England Patriots. Huntley praised his defense for holding the Patriots to under 300 yards of total offense.
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry heaped praise on quarterback Lamar Jackson, calling him “the GOAT, the best quarterback in the league” after their thrilling overtime victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud credited his team’s “Mamba Mentality” for their second consecutive last-gasp win, citing the influence of NBA legend Kobe Bryant. Stroud remained calm under pressure, leading his team to a game-winning field goal.
Lastly, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence attributed his team’s first win of the season to finding their “missing spark.” Lawrence threw for 371 yards and two touchdowns, setting up a game-winning field goal with 17 seconds left to secure a divisional victory.
