Proud of the team, still a long way to go, did some really good things

"Enjoy this one and then let's get ready for our next opponent because we'll have our hands full, we know that."

"It was fun in the locker room seeing them celebrate and enjoy the moment for a little while."

Thankful for the fans and home field advantage.

On balance: Think it's important that a lot is dictated on what look we're getting from defense. Need all 12 guys ready to go in the receiving corps. "Drew did a tremendous job on going through the progression of reads on what he needs to see pre-snap."

Offensive line did well, gave him time. "It's exciting for me to see offensively once we get that first first down, they're going to go at a pretty good clip."

Also good to know you can line up on third and one and get a first down.

Is this Lock's coming out party? "He has the skill set to be a really good player, but it takes a good week of preparation and then it takes ten guys around him playing really well."

When you can connect on deep balls, it takes it out of the defense. Receivers did a great job getting on top of coverage and coming down with the ball.

"I think Drew's going to continue to get better. I think he's still got a lot of room to grow."

On rotation: "Felt comfortable with where it was going offensively. Just kind of where it played out this week. Still excited about what Marvin brings, what he can do. Drew was playing really well."

On Wingo: "Ray's got ability. If you're a receiver, looking at this offense, you've got to be excited...He's got the ability, much like JJ to take the ball the distance when he gets a crease."

On defense: Made some progress, still got things to go. Not good on third downs.

On Johnson: "Exciting for him and exciting for our team. We've seen that. We know we get the opportunit to get him the ball...just give him a crease and he's going to go make something happen."

Injuries--
Culkin--hurt WED in practice, will be back at practice Tuesday
Penton--shoulder, would have played if game was closer
Ross--sprained ankle, should be ready tomorrow

On kicking: PATs a concern, but punting and kickoffs really good. Work in progress, got to do a better job on extra point kicking

On his first win: "I'm tired, but I'm excited about seeing those guys have success. For me the greatest feeling is you know that they worked really hard and for them to have success. To see them smiling and jumping around, that's awesome. There's a lot of reasons you're in the profession and that's one of them."
