•"I didn't know what to do. I think I ran around like Jim Valvano.”
Panthers QB Jake Delhomme, referring to the late N.C. State basketball coach's reaction to the Wolfpack's upset of Houston in the 1983 national title game. Delhomme's 14-yard pass to Dante Rosario on the last play beat San Diego 26-24. •"He's a miracle worker. He threw that thing in the air, and God said, ‘Brett Favre will have a touchdown pass.' ” Dolphins fullback Boomer Grigsby on the fourth-down play on which the Jets took the lead for good. •"It's not a dirty play. I'm not a dirty player. I just tried to get him down. It was football. I can't do anything but pray — pray for him.” Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard on the play on which New England's Tom Brady injured his knee. •"I've been waiting on this day for about 600 days. It was real emotional, but that's what I live for. I enjoyed myself. I have no regrets. I'm smiling from ear to ear.” Dallas' Pacman Jones, who played in his first game since Dec. 31, 2006. Jones said he gave himself "about a C-plus” for his performance. •"The play before he was talking trash, and the next play he was on my highlight tape.” Reggie Bush, who juked Tampa Bay's Jermaine Phillips while scoring New Orleans' winning TD on a swing pass. •"Two thumbs up to him and what they did today. It was unbelievable, and I told him after the game. I don't know what they were playing. That's some playground defense.” •Chad Ocho Cinco on the blitz-oriented defense of Rex Ryan and the Ravens. "It was a gut check. Go get him. That's what my whole mentality was.” Cornerback Deltha O'Neal, who ran down Devard Darling at the 5-yard line to help the Patriots hold off the Chiefs. •"That happens every week, to be honest. Usually it's just not on camera.” Lions QB Jon Kitna, who was seen jawing with receivers coach Shawn Jefferson. They appeared to make up when Jefferson patted Kitna on the head. •"This is the sorest I've been in a long time.” Jaguars QB David Garrard, on the Titans' seven sacks. From wire reports
