“I didn't know they were offsides. I saw the flag when I was getting up, ... But they said we were going to return it again and I figured, 'OK, this is an opportunity.'”
“I got a second opportunity. I just took advantage of the opportunity, ... The guys up front did a real great job. They blocked real well. I saw the cut outside and made the cut and just turned it on.”
“[Before the game, the veteran Morton pulled Ponder aside, promising his young teammate that great things were in store.] He said, 'We're going to do something never done in Giants' history. You're going to score and I'm going to score,'Ÿ ... And we did it.”
“That was a bad situation for me, ... I'm lucky I actually got a chance to wake up and see them and get all my possessions back. I was in shock. I didn't know what to do. I see her, and her eyes were all big. She was messed up and I didn't want to put my hands on her. I just wanted to know what she was doing there. I'm just glad they didn't harm me. God was watching over me.”
“The first thing Coach Coughlin told me was, 'Good job, but hold on to that ball until you get into the end zone,' ... That's true. That (ball) could've easily slipped out of my hand. But I had it. I was confident I was going to score.”
