Call it lucky, call it fortunate, call it what you will. We've had a bunch of them go against us. We were able to handle those kinds of things, and I think that was a big key to winning the game.

Looking back on it, there have been some missed opportunities. I know I've missed a couple of things. Defenses have played us soft; we've tried to get behind them, and it hasn't worked out a few times.

You forget about how good he is.

It was a bad throw. I had Jerry for the first down, and it got away from me. It was unfortunate because it came at a critical point in the game.

It's been a variety of things. Certainly, I take as much responsibility as anybody. It seems like it's been different things at different times, where the players get penalties or non-execution. Like I said, I'm not going to point fingers. I know that I didn't live up to the expectations I had for myself this season.

I was an Eagles fan growing up, growing up so close to them, watching Jaworski (quarterback Ron) and (receiver) Harold Carmichael and (running back) Wilbert Montgomery, and those guys. So, there's obviously a tie there for me. Of course, when I was in New York I was able to play them every year down there, and I still have a lot of family and friends back there.

Our defense played great, and we were able to run the ball well. Those are the two keys to winning a game.

Everything is so effortless for him, ... It doesn't look like he's running. I can throw it as far as I can and he catches up to it with no problem. He's a unique guy. He can run unique routes. Every day, I see something that's new and different, and it's something that I like.

Whatever the public perception may have been of Randy, I have nothing bad to say about the guy. He's come here, worked hard and shown that he'll do whatever it takes to learn this offense and to be the kind of receiver here like he was in Minnesota.
