HEAD COACH JIM MORA (on the win)
“Any time you get a win in this business it’s good. When you get a win on the road, it’s even better.”

HEAD COACH JIM MORA (on the game)
“Well, it was one of those days where things went well for us right off the bat. We got some turnovers early, and got really good field position. For the most part, we took advantage of that. We had some opportune things happen early, and we were able to make the most of it and get the lead.”

HEAD COACH JIM MORA (on the play of RB-Edgerrin James)
“Edgerrin had a really good game today. I think he’s playing better all the time. He busted the big one there, he ran tough and he’s just a good football player. He’s protecting the football so much better than he was. He’s running hard and he’s talented.”

HEAD COACH JIM MORA (on the talent level of this team)
“We’ve got some talent on this team. You’re not going to win unless you have good players and we’ve got some good players. Bill Polian and Dom Anile have gotten us some good players to work with, and that’s the first step. We have good people that work hard and prepare well. We’ve got some good leadership on our team from people. We’ve got a young football team, but they have come together real quickly and they are playing well.”

QB-PEYTON MANNING (on being taken out of the game during the fourth quarter)
“If it was going to happen, I’m glad it was because of a big lead. I’m glad it wasn’t because of an injury or because we were getting blown out. You’d love to have these games every single week, but they don’t happen very often. When they do, you enjoy them.”

QB-PEYTON MANNING (on the play of RB-Edgerrin James)
“Edgerrin is playing with so much more confidence and he’s letting his natural ability take over. The fact he is more involved in the passing game is just giving us a new dimension. It’s keeping defenses more off-balance. It gives them somebody else they’ve got to worry about.”

QB-PEYTON MANNING (on injuries forcing guys into the game for the first time)
“We really came out motivated today and I think it happened in the very beginning of the game. We had some injuries and we had some guys in there playing who hadn’t really played much before. But they really stepped up and played well.”

QB-PEYTON MANNING (on what motivates this team to get better)
“I think that we are just really motivated to keep getting better. But every week in practice and every Monday watching the film, we still see a lot of things that we can do even better. That’s exciting and that’s encouraging. So, we feel like we have come back and worked hard in every practice, and tried to come out and play even better on Sunday. We have three huge games coming up in a row, three division games. It’s going to be a great challenge in the RCA Dome next Sunday against the Jets.”

WR-MARVIN HARRISON (on playing in front of his hometown)
“It just shows you we have a lot of different players who can make plays. It was a great feeling to come out and play the way we did. The Eagles are a great team and they’re going to get better, but right now it’s the Colts’ time.”

RB-EDGERRIN JAMES (on the Eagles defense double-teaming WR-Marvin Harrison, which left the running game with holes)
“We just put it to ‘em however they want it. If they want to take Marvin away from us, we’ll run the ball. If they want to stop the run, we’ll take it deep.”

RB-EDGERRIN JAMES (on the 62-yard touchdown run)
“Anybody could’ve scored on that. The offensive line did a great job. It was wide open. It kinda shocked me how open it was. The coach said all week we were going to do this one play and it was going to be open.”

RB-EDGERRIN JAMES (on the pressure of replacing Marshall Faulk)
“Nobody puts more pressure on me than I put on myself. I want to do well. I’m in the NFL. This is my dream and I’ve always said that once I get to the NFL, I’m going to try to make the best out of it. Now every day I’m working and trying to get better because you never know how long it’s going to last. And you want to be remembered for being one of the great players of the NFL.”

RB-EDGERRIN JAMES (on if this was his best game)
“No. My best game is yet to come.”

LB-CORNELIUS BENNETT (on the defense)
“Right after we got introduced today, I told the guys, ‘Everybody knows about our offense. Let’s try to do the same with our defense and become known as a complete football team.’ I think we made the statement.”

DE-CHAD BRATZKE (on QB-Donovan McNabb)
“We were bringing one or two extra guys whenever we could. McNabb’s got a great arm, he’s athletic, the things everybody knows. But he’s young and if you can get to him and make him make his decisions quick, that’s certainly an advantage. You’ve got to give credit to the entire defense. We played a really sound game today.”

DE-CHAD BRATZKE (on the team putting effort into the game even though they had a huge lead)
“The team showed a lot of maturity coming out in the third quarter and keeping the killer instinct. That was something we talked about. It was important and that will carry a long way, being able to finish.”
