"I'm thinking touchdown"
"Play call comes in and I'm thinking touchdown, and then the minute we walk up to the ball and I see the look and I say, ahh this is definitely a touchdown right."
"I'm really proud it was him"
"It played out just the way we thought as far as the play call and [Josh Hill] being wide open on the run action...I'm really proud it was him."
TOUCHDOWN 540 TO JOSH HILL!
"First off I love the fact it was Josh Hill. Oddly enough he was the honorary captain this week for the team, which means we basically roast him in our Saturday meeting. So it's pretty fitting that it was him. 😂
"I want to make sure everyone around me knows just how grateful I am to my team, to everyone in the stadium, to our entire fan base, to my family and friends and everyone who was here...all those that have been such an integral part of this. So you want to give that value...and yet it's in the framework of a game, and it might be a tight game..."
"...and so you gotta get your mind and focus right back on the next play. The way that it happened tonight obviously allowed us to enjoy it."
BREES FAMILY ❤️ WHAT THEY SEE!
"I told the guys in there that these moments are only special because of the people you get to share them with. And I love my team. They're the guys that make this so special."
