Seahawks 21 - Cowboys 20
"Whew!" -- Owner Paul Allen "Romo fumbled the snap and I saw it coming off the left edge. Once he picked it up, he was trying to run it in. So I had to. I had no choice. If not, he scores, we lose. It was grab him by the ankles before he gets the first down. Huge. Huge." -- Jordan Babineaux "That's why we call him Big Play Babs." -- Lofa Tatupu "We're a team of destiny." -- Mack Strong "It's up to Jerramy Stevens to run his route perfectly. He did." -- Matt Hasselbeck "It was a pretty sight to behold." -- Mike Holmgren "Never surrender. I just love the effort our guys gave. We never thought we were down or out of it. We just played big when we had to." -- Lofa Tatupu "People say that anything can happen in the playoffs, and I'm witness to that now." — Walter Jones “I might not know a lot of things but I know one thing: The Seahawks won tonight!” -- Jimmy Williams “The important thing about this team is we have to worry about ourselves. We are our own biggest enemy and you saw it there today. We had had opportunities to put that game away early and we didn’t, but I think we can keep fighting.” -- Bryce Fisher “Slim’s play was huge. But you can name so many. The guys left it out on the field and it showed.” -- Ken Hamlin "You know this is a more powerful win, in my eyes, than any playoff game we played last season.... we needed to win this game... and we came together to win it....we weren't overloaded with talent such that it was an "in the bag" game....granted stuff went our way, but the way the team recovered...." -- Seahawks fan Pat Hickey "I don't know, you guys, I don't know. It was kind of a crazy game. Some unusual things happened in the game, and that's the playoffs for you." -- Coach Mike Holmgren "We had a lot of injuries, and a lot of questions about what the secondary was going to do," Jennings said. "But we never doubted ourselves." -- Kelly Jennings "I'm so proud of Jerramy Stevens. He's always been the key for us, making plays." -- Shaun Alexander “Coaches said, whatever happens, we need another turnover in this game. Kelly … knocked it loose and I tried to throw it back.” -- Lofa Tatupu "I couldn’t figure out how the ball got back inside (the field of play). I saw the ball go down, like it hit the ground. Next thing I know, it was back at my way. I said, ‘Let me catch it, see what happens.’” -- Michael Boulware “Our defense, I am so proud of those guys. Given who they had to play against and given our state of affairs in the secondary, I don’t think I can say enough about the heart and the courage they showed in a game like this.” -- Mike Holmgren “I just have to thank Matt for sticking with me throughout this year and throughout my career. We have really established a relationship between us." -- Jerramy Stevens “There’s something else at work there. I gotta think there’s divine intervention.” -- Josh Brown “I call this the greatest persevering team I’ve ever been on. A true champion really fights, no matter what’s going on, and that’s what we did." -- Shaun Alexander "It had to be one of the best finishes ever. I can't believe it." -- Lofa Tatupu "This is an experience. It was just a back-and-forth, seesaw game. And to come back to that right there, you couldn't even draw it up any stranger than that. I can tell my kids about that one." -- Russell Davis "No excuses. I just dropped it. No excuses. I can't even remember the last time I dropped a snap like that. I apologized to all of my teammates and all of the fans that rooted us on out there today and through the year. I take responsibility for this season coming to an end early." -- Cowboys QB and holder, Tony Romo "We just mis-executed an extra point." -- Cowboys Coach Bill Parcells “Things had been going wrong for us, up and down this year, so it was good to catch a break at the end of the game.” -- Jerramy Stevens "Now you all can quit talking about us in a negative way." -- Ken Hamlin For play-by-play coverage, click here.
