What the Detroit Lions said in the locker room after beating the Dallas Cowboys

Here is a collection of postgame quotes from Detroit Lions players and coaches after their 47-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Then Campbell

On whether the team was tempted to throw to Dan Skipper deep in the red zone.

“Well, we tried to get one to Decker, but we couldn’t. Close. We were very close, but no, we didn’t quite get there. We tried to score a few different ways, but that didn’t work.” Take that one. That’s about the only one.”

Jared Goff

On whether the blow was revenge for the loss in Dallas last year.

“To be honest, this has nothing to do with last year. This is a completely new team, them and us. We wanted to play a good match, and we certainly succeeded at all levels. Everyone played well. That was the best I’ve felt in a game in a long time. I know a lot of other people felt the same way all week.

David Montgomery

On what’s happened for the offense over the last two games.

“I think there was a period at the beginning of the season where we were trying to figure out our identities and bring them together. I think we’re starting to implement a lot more now. The funny thing is, we’re not even all on the same page; the little things here and there that we can clean up. For us, the sky really is the limit. I’m curious to see what the future holds.”

Taylor Decker

On the creativity of the offense and its overall performance.

“We knew we were going to come here and we were going to release the clip. We wanted to make a statement and we wanted to get this win. That’s a talented squad they have there and especially when they say goodbye, we don’t want a dip in our performance as we were building to a more complete performance, especially on offense. We played well against Seattle and I think we played even better this week.”

Alim McNeill

How the team can replace Aidan Hutchinson.

“I just have to do that. That’s it, I have to step up. That’s a huge piece that’s gone down. So we’re going to have to step up and make plays and make up for it. We’ve got to do that just do it, there’s no blueprint for it. I just have to step up and make plays.”

Penei Sewell

His response to Aidan Hutchinson’s injury.

“We all know injuries are part of this game, but still, all that hard work, that’s why I’m the saddest. Just because I know what kind of player he is, how much work he puts in and the sacrifices he makes.” He does a lot with his body, a lot of time.”

Amon-Ra St. Brown

About the offense’s use of tricks.

“It’s fun, it’s great. Penei’s, I wish he hadn’t been called back. That would have been the highlight of the game if he had stood. But I love trick play, I tell everyone I feel like they always work when you call them. I think we’re, what, 3-for-3, got called back, but we’re pretty good at being a part of it, it’s a lot of fun.

Alex Anzalone

What the loss of Aidan Hutchinson means for the team.

“I would probably go more into the human aspect of that. I think it’s clear how good he is and how great of a player he is on the field and what he does for our team schematically and what kind of season he had. Just seeing him in that situation just brings you back to earth. We play a violent, dangerous sport. It just is what it is, and it happens. To see him go out like that is hard, just from the human aspect.”

Isaac Ukwu

His comfort in making his NFL debut Sunday.

“I felt really comfortable. Coach T instilled a lot of confidence in me all week and during the game, when Hutch went down, he obviously showed the utmost confidence in me. I felt like I was well prepared.”

Kerby Joseph

What he saw during his interception.

“They went four on one. I fought through all the traffic. Once I fought through all the traffic, I knew all the traffic was inside, so he only had one option and that was to go outside. So after he stayed When I stood and went out, I just looked at the quarterback.”

Brian Branch

Which went well for the defense.

“I feel like the preparation helped us. Honestly, we played a complete defensive game. Shoot, AG called a great game plan, he put everyone in great positions to play. Shout out to AG and us on the execution of the game plan.
