JULIO JONES, wide receiver
On the win: "No win is easy. We came out for a (win) and that's what we got. It was a hard fought win and team effort. The defense did a great job at the end. Just holding those guys and coming out victorious for us."
On the replay: "I thought he was down. That's what we've got the official for. The guys in New York did a great job for us."
On the stop on Golden Tate: "Great play by Rocky (Robert Alford). Keeping us with a blade of grass and keeping them out of the end zone."
ROBERT ALFORD, cornerback
On if that was a pick play: "It was a play that we were going over this whole week. We knew that once they had the specific players in positon on the field that was coming. It was definitely the pick route that we went over. Me and Poole communicated before the play happened. He just fell off his man and touched Golden even before he got in there."
On the last blade of grass: "Yes Sir. As you seen out there. The way that ended. We'll take it. It was a weird play, but we'll take it. We were happy to defend that blade of grass and we came away with a victory."
DESMOND TRUFANT, cornerback
On the last play: "I knew they were probably going to run a pick play to the two-man side and on my side probably throw that fade. So I was waiting for that fade. But they threw it to the other side. Rocky (Robert Alford) and (Brian) Poole made a great play. So, it's a game of inches at the end of the day. It literally came down to an inch."
On the three stops to end the game. "We're a team and it was a great team win. Not perfect. We did a lot of good things. We have to keep working and keep building. We are definitely going to grow from this. So, at the end of the day, I'm happy that we won."
On his penalties. "It is what it is. That's just the life of the (defensive back). Sometimes, you get them. Some times you don't. I still made a lot of plays. Didn't give up nothing deep. I just have to keep pushing. Keep working. Like I said, games like this really make you better. I'm glade we got the win."
On his performance in today's game: "I was just happy, you know, as I played solid, but I just had two plays at the end. (Brian) Poole made a great play, a blade of grass is a game of inches. You know, that's proof right there, so just kept fighting and just glad we got the win."
On his expectations during the final moments of the game: "I mean, they hadn't scored yet, so I knew we still had time. But, you know, that's just the life of a corner. I made a lot of plays, made some bad plays, but we won."
On his thoughts during the Lions' touchdown review: "I mean, I didn't know what to think. I just knew they were reviewing it. I was just praying that, you know, we had one more chance and we got one more chance. And we won, so I'll take it."
GRADY JARRETT, defensive tackles
On why he knelt: "I felt like me, myself Grady Jarrett is the son of a Queen and that's my message." On the defense at the end: "It felt good. We had to dig deep. It literally came down to the game being a game of inches. A inch won the game for us, too."
On the Lions' reversed touchdown at the end: "I just had a feeling, a lot of feeling, but I saw that it was down. So, I mean, I was just praying and hoping that we got an opportunity to challenge and/or review or whatever the case may be. We got that done, ended up coming out with a W call for our game and man, it is great to be a part of this organization."
On taking a knee during the National Anthem: "Oh man, I'm a son of a queen. Enough said. And as I look you in your eye, I am a son of a queen and so are you."
On deciding to take a knee today: "My spirit moved me in a way and it was on my mind. It was on my mind man, and you know, it is definitely something where, you know, and it is so awesome because having the support of your brothers and support of an organization like this, this has been, this is truly a blessing. It's truly a blessing. And I'm just thankful."
ADRIAN CLAYBORN, defensive end
On the team: "It so diverse in football. We come from everywhere and it's a shame we can't all get along. I wish we could be like that but it probably will never be. If it was it would be a way better place."
On the 10-second run-of rule: "I had no clue. I still don't believe it. But I'll take it."
On being focused: "I'm not going to lie. It was hard pre-game, just trying to focus on the actual game. But once it started I was locked in. Thank God I got my brain locked in. When you get so much hate and so many people hate your guts because of something you believe in, it's crazy. But we locked in. We got it done."
On his range of emotions at the end: "Up, down, up down. Like a hurricane."
On his thoughts to the team: "It was a team meeting. It's our brotherhood coming together. People are saying nasty things about us and we have to stick together. It's coming in hot."
DONTARI POE, defensive tackle
On Clayborn's diversity speech to the team: "He put it in such great words. It was something that I paid close attention to. It was all truth in it. Basically, he wished the outside world was like out locker room, with people of all different colors and creeds were fighting together. We are a Brotherhood. We don't look at nothing else but that. He said he wished the world was like that and that it would be much better place. I totally agree with him."
On expecting any backlash: "I know people. I have girl friend who's in the Air Force. She's in the reserves now. I'm not disrespecting that at all. I would disrespect here like that. At the same time, I felt it wasn't disrespecting the flag, but I was just standing up for what I believe in."
MOHAMED SANU, wide receiver
On his thoughts on the way the game ended: "I've never seen anything like it. I'm still glad the way it ended and in our favor. Had a lot of mistakes, we got to clean those things up. But we'll get better."
On what happened on the ball he dropped that the Lions intercepted: "Just concentration. I tried to turn up the field before I had the ball. It happens. I shouldn't let it. We don't talk about drops, but I shouldn't have let it happen and it won't happen again."
On what happened on his block on WR Taylor Gabriel's touchdown: "I just did my job. I saw how they were playing and I got my block and he ran off the well. Jake Matthews did a great job coming up there getting a block too, and you see Turbo turn up."
On the discussion of protests during the National Anthem: "That wasn't really a discussion. We just did it off the vibe, I guess. We didn't really have a discussion. Coach (Quinn) talked about it a little bit, but it wasn't a planned thing or a discussion about it. We just started linking arms and wanted to do it all together."
DEVONTA FREEMAN, running back
On how he puts this game into words: "It's a win. It don't even matter how we got it. It don't matter how you want to call it, how you want to say it. At the end of the day, we're 3-0, but next we're 0-0. So we're just trying to keep getting better, but tonight I hope all my brothers enjoyed this win because no win is easy to come across, especially in the League. So I'm just thankful."
On the Falcons holding tiebreakers against three NFC teams: "I ain't even going to lie to you, I don't even get caught up in that. It's a blessing. I'm proud to have a bunch of dogs on my team. My brothers, day in and day out. We push each other. We compete hard. We hold each other accountable and that's what it's all about at the end of the day. And we come on the road, we understand that the brotherhood got to be tightest. It's anything, especially on the road."
On if he saw bigger running holes tonight: "I'll just say we're getting better and better every week. You know what I mean? It's a process, and next week we're going to get better. And we're going to rest the next week, and the next week coming back, we're going to try to continue to get better. You can only take it one game at a time."
On if the team talked about protesting before the game: "It's a crazy situation. I just think that I'm here to play football. I know what I stand for. I know what my brothers stand for. I know what this organization stands for. And as long as we on the same page, we got each other's back, that's all that matters."
