EmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsWeek 4 in the NFL wasn't short on entertainment.Before "Monday Night Football" between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints, the week featured 10 games decided by one score.The close finishes provided plenty of fuel for trash talk and sharp sound bites as some of the game's best moments come from what's said before or after the whistle.Players and coaches carried their teams' momentum from the field to the podium, delivering standout lines in their postgame sessions.From bold statements to perfectly timed one-liners, here are the best quotes from around the NFL in Week 4."My grandma came out here, which was really good to see."Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee LambDelivering a dominant performance in his adopted hometown, Lamb guided the Cowboys to a dramatic triumph Sunday afternoon.The wideout had a career-high 17 receptions for 189 yards, capped by a go-ahead 12-yard touchdown grab with under a minute remaining to seal a 34-30 decision over the winless Texans.Originally from Louisiana, Lamb relocated to the Houston region following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. A large contingent of family members, including his grandmother, traveled to watch Lamb on Sunday."Obviously, we had our opportunities in the last two weeks, but this isn't Armageddon or anything."Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe BurrowAddressing his team's consecutive defeats following a 2-0 opening stretch, Burrow openly acknowledged his frustration while maintaining perspective on Cincinnati's outlook."You can't ride the roller coaster week-to-week," Burrow added. "You're going to win some; you're going to lose some. Obviously, you want to win every single one [and] you're going to fight like hell to make it happen, but we're not going to ride that roller coaster.""We're not going to get into any bulletin board material. ... An elevated guy made a hell of a catch -- probably won't hear from him again. ... A practice squad player made a hell of a play."Buffalo Bills CB C.J. Gardner-JohnsonWide receiver Efton Chism III hauled in a sensational one-handed touchdown reception Sunday, sealing the Patriots' 29-26 comeback victory over the Bills. The play marked just the seventh career reception for Chism, an undrafted free agent in 2025 who, Gardner-Johnson's quip notwithstanding, has spent his entire tenure on the active roster rather than the practice squad. After signing with New England as an undrafted rookie in 2025, Chism secured a place on the 53-man roster out of training camp. Across 11 regular-season appearances in his young career, the receiver has remained on the main squad without ever being relegated to practice team status.After the game, Gardner-Johnson downplayed the clutch moment."For a guy that has been on eight teams in four years, I mean, I guess he knows the drill."New England Patriots coach Mike VrabelUpon hearing Gardner-Johnson's remarks Monday during an interview with Boston radio station WEEI, Vrabel offered a sharp response to the well-traveled defensive back, who has played for five franchises over the past two seasons."You see the 'bink bink'?"Jacksonville Jaguars CB Jarrian JonesPositioned across the field, Jones lacked a vantage point for fellow cornerback Travis Hunter's takeaway and subsequent juke against Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tee Higgins on Sunday. After snagging the pass, Hunter jabbed left before selling a head feint, dropping Higgins onto the turf prior to a 30-yard return to Cincinnati's 36-yard line.Although a penalty on defensive lineman Arik Armstead erased the highlight from the official play-by-play, the electric moment generated genuine excitement in Jacksonville's locker room."It was a goofy game."Tennessee Titans coach Robert SalehEven with Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson sidelined throughout the second half due to an ankle issue, Tennessee could not recover from a 24-7 halftime deficit.The 24-18 defeat dropped the Titans to 0-4, marking their third consecutive loss decided by a single possession. Following the contest, Saleh addressed the team's inability to capitalize after holding the Ravens scoreless over the final two quarters.
