"It's exciting, especially when you can be a part of history," O.J. McDuffie said. "It
's a real monumental thing for him, for the Dolphins organization, for the NFL and
of course for myself."
"We are proud to be the team to break their streak," said guard Kevin Donnalley
said of the Saints' streak of games with a sack.
"The quarterback can't be your leading rusher three weeks in a row, this is a team
game and we all have to play better." Kerry Collins said. We have four games left,
what are we going to do, cash them in? No. Forget about the season? No. We have to
suck it up and get hot the next four games. I believe in what we're doing and I
believe everyone else does, too."
"There was redemption for us,'' said cornerback Sam Madison, who had one
of the three interceptions. "We played hard Monday night and still felt like we
let it slip away at the end. One thing we really wanted to do today was make
a statement."
"This is the most pathetic exhibition of football I have ever seen. Defense was
horrible, offense was horrible and special teams were not any better," New Orleans
coach Mike Ditka said. "We were outcoached and we were outplayed. I will say this
though, we may get beat from now on, but we will play aggressive defense from now
on."
Player Quotes
"He (McDuffie) is an incredible player," Dan Marino said. "He's a guy I rely on and I
count on. You can count on him to make big plays no matter what the circumstances. I
kept No. 100, 200 and 300, so I told the receivers and the backs that if I throw the
touchdown, I would like to keep it because I've kept the other ones. It's nice and
it's a lot of touchdowns, but winning the games are the most important things." Coach Quotes
"After practice Friday, I said the result of the ballgame would depend on how the
offensive line plays," Jimmy Johnson said. "I called each one of them out by name
and said we�ll win or lose the ballgame depending on how you play. I want to send a
message to the fans, we were sleepwalking to start this game. The fans were, too.
When we play the Jets here in a couple of weeks, I want it to be as loud as I ever
heard in this stadium." "
