ENTREVISTAS - NFC Championship New Orleans - Ingles

Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints

Saints Coach Sean Payton
“It’s hard to come up here and talk about the significance of that group of guys in the locker room and the significance of this win. I’m proud of them. I’m proud of our fans. I’m proud of the hard work it took to get us to this spot. It’s a pretty special feeling. Any Questions?”

(on defense) “There was a lot of momentum shifts in that game. Just after the game ended I had a chance to visit with (Brett) Favre for about five minutes, and I’ve never seen two quarterbacks compete and two defenses hang in there, and the offensive lines play the way these did today. I tip my hat to Minnesota. You had two teams that played their hearts out. I’m glad we were able to win and I’m proud of just having a chance to coach these guys in a game like this. Garrett (Hartley) hit a big kick obviously, for us and we just kept fighting. The momentum shifted back and forth and we just kept battling and it was a heck of a game.”

(on what he told Hartley) “I just told him there’s a little fleur de lis up there right between both uprights, and I said why don’t you see if you can hit this fleur de lis dead center. We belong, you are here for a reason and you are going to hit it through. He has just been real consistent for us and obviously it was a big kick.”
