Jon Jansen Win Quotations

It's definitely made a huge difference, especially in times of trouble. We didn't necessarily have a couple good series in Dallas, and it would have been easy to point the finger and blame it on something. But having the camaraderie that we do and knowing where everybody is going to be, we were able to fight through it and have a great fourth quarter.

I don't care whether you're a Hall of Fame coach or a guy who got his first NFL job, winning that first year is tough. It just took time.

It sure feels great to have a win, ... and it was a hard one. They're a good defensive front, so we're happy with a win in this one.

We said we had to win five in a row. We've got four done. We're not there by any means there yet, but it feels a lot better than it did at 5-6.

We said we had to win five in a row. We've got four done ... feels a lot better than it did at 5-6. We're playing at a high level at the right time and what we've got to do is get to the big dance and see what happens at that point. All we're asking for is a shot.

I think the organization deserves better than what they have had for six or seven or 10 years. This is an organization that has seen great, great success, and we don't want to be the ones that have allowed it to go unsuccessful for so long. With Coach Gibbs coming back, that was a step to getting back to the success. We want to win games for a man who's been good to us and very loyal to us.

I think we've learned about how we can win games here, and how we lose games. And going into the final eight games I think if we can control the turnovers and we can control penalties and always go out and play physical, we're going to be sitting pretty good at the end of the year.

NFC games are huge, division games are even bigger and when it comes down to it, every game you win makes the next one bigger. We know if we win this one, it's going to make that Dallas game huge, and if we win that one, we move on to the Giants. We have things in front of us we can accomplish. If we do our jobs and play good football, then there's going to be good things at the end of the year for us.

Finally, one of the balls bounced our way. Not only was it a great victory in terms of wins and losses, but it was a great emotional victory. We played hard the whole game and it really paid off in the end. And I think throughout the season, it's something to look back on and say, 'Hey we did this before.' I really think it'll set us up with some good momentum.

We've got to continue to work on our communication. I think that's the success of any group or unit, whether it's in football or in business or anything, it's communication, knowing what's going on and just making sure everybody's on the same page and everybody's going to the right guys and doing the right thing.
