“We’re looking forward to getting back home and playing the (Oakland) Raiders and I hope we can create a positive energy when we get home. Our guys responded today” – Head Coach Norv Turner

But anytime you come on the road and win it’s big. And to see our guys rally under the circumstances and get a win, it was big.” – Quarterback Philip Rivers
“I’ve never been a part of a team that had 11 sacks. The most I’ve ever seen has been six, maybe seven.” – Linebacker
“It felt great. I feel blessed to have the opportunity I’ve been in. It just feels good. It’s crazy. Going into a game you expect to win, but you never know how you’ll get there. It’s just unreal we did it with 11 sacks.” – Defensive End Kendall Reyes
