Postgame – Philadelphia

P Matt Haack (transcribed by Bryce Reddick)

(On the touchdown pass.) – “I caught the end of Jason (Sanders’ media availability). Kind of like he said, it’s something we’ve been working on for a long time. We’ve seen a few different looks in practice – what we liked, what we didn’t like, and they gave us honestly exactly what we planned for, so that was pretty cool. Then the reason the play worked so well is it was fourth-and-short, so if you saw the fake we had against Buffalo, it was a run. They’ve seen a run, so they were expecting a run. (Daniel) Kilgore actually – people probably might not see his contribution, but he was actually on the snap and he had two guys that ran. The little pump fake left was supposed to take care of one and he was supposed to completely take out the other one, and he did a great job so kudos to him. Then like I said, I rolled out and it felt so fast – four guys were on me real quick, I saw a little window and (Sanders) was wide open. In my head, it was just put it on and don’t give them a chance, really.”

(How much are you itching to get back and maybe see some of the national highlight shows, see where that ranks amongst the plays of the week?) – “(laughter) I’m not too worried about that right now. I’m just happy that we got the win, really.”

(When is the last time you threw a pass in a game, if ever?) – “If you guys don’t remember, my rookie year I threw an interception on a fake punt, (laughter) so (there was) a lot better feeling on this one.”

(Did you hit them with a no-look shovel pass on this one?) – “Honestly, I don’t think so. I might have been, just from how fast it happened, but I saw Jason (Sanders) out there so I wasn’t going to take a chance with that one.”

(Could you feel the momentum kind of turn within the stadium because as you guys suggested when we walked in here – just the way that the Philly fans had shown up in the stands tonight – did you guys feel like you stole the momentum on that play?) – “I feel like it may have started something, but kudos to our offense and defense. We stepped up big at the end and guys all around the team were making plays and not giving up and came back and won it.”

(Have you ever completed a pass before today?) – “You know, in college I had one – one fake punt pass that was completed and then way, way back in the day, when I was younger, I actually did play running back and quarterback and receiver, so I got a little bit of that back.”
