Facts, stats, quotes from the Week 6 win over the Panthers

RAHEEM MORRIS QUOTE

On cornerback Clark Phillips III's late-game interception and how it wasn't a pick-six…

“There's a lot of people giving him a lot of flack on the sidelines for not scoring, but I'll tell you what, man, that's a young heads-up play from a young man who has the football game right there “finished” and not letting the defense get back up and get as many yards up to be able to do those things and finish the football game, and that’s a smart move from a young football player and I’m proud of him for that too.

The Falcons quote

Tight end Charlie Woerner

On-the-run play works…

“That’s how you win games, that’s how you finish the game. To go out in a four-minute drill, especially late in the fourth quarter, and run out the clock was great. You know it's coming, but the fact that you go. “It still feels good to get first downs.”

Cornerback Clark Phillips III

When he realized he shouldn't last his late-game interception all the way to the end zone…

“Really, the exact moment I caught him. I thought before the play that they were going to try to get to the sideline was like, “Ah, damn, I have to deal with it.”

Quoting the opponent

Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton

On Falcons cornerback Clark Phillips III's late interception…

“If I could have let him go a little earlier I probably could have had him, but he had a great game. I tried to get the ball down the field. If I could go back and do it again, I would have checked it out and continued the ride, especially given the momentum we had at that point. This has hurt us and set us back. Make better decisions in this moment.
