""It showed that we're one of the ones," Penix said of the victory over the Bills. "This team is really good. This team is really legit.""
""There is no secret," Falcons second-year head coach Raheem Morris said. "We want to be a playoff organization. We want to be able to go compete in those types of games and we played one tonight and there's going to be no secret. Nobody is going to shy away from those moments. We've got to go do it, but those are the moments you want. Those are the moments you strive for.""
