Head Coach Mike Smith
(on the win)
"Wins are tough to come by in this league, especially on the road. I think this is one of the toughest road environments in the NFL and I think that our guys fought to the end and that is what it took. Green Bay is a good football team and it was a physical game. We had some solid performance on all phases."
(on if his team grew up today)
"I think it was a big win for us. We have had some success at home, and this was confirmation of what we are doing as a football team. I really believe that. This confirms that we can go on the road and win in a hostile environment and I think that is very big for our young football team."
(on Matt Ryan)
"He was very calm. He was calm, cool and collected. I thought he performed extremely well all the way through and able to make plays when they were presented."
(on Michael Turner)
"We wanted Michael to come out early. There was some tough sledding. They had guys up in gaps and loading the box, but as the game wore on he got stronger and stronger, and I think that is one of the attributes that Michael has."
