Michael Bennett Game Quotations

My teeth are loose. It's going to be a long time before I am able to hold a whistle between my teeth again. I have been doing games for 18 years and I have never had anything happen like this. I guess they were upset that I made that last call.

It's definitely been an emotional day for me all day. I counted my steps coming in off the field from the beginning of the tunnel to here. I was in tears. It was tough. It means so much to me, being a Viking for five years. Hopefully, I've got some more time here, but I've got to look at the overall picture. It was a good way to go out, if it was indeed my final game here.

This was the most balanced game we've had,

Give me a break. Jerome Bettis had those same numbers in a game last year, and ended up with two touchdowns. But, never fear. The NFL is all about improvement. Sunday, against the Bengals, I plan to reach negative one yard in half the number of carries.

It's hard to just sit back and watch. I've never done that before. (The coaches say), 'You're going to have a big week this week,' and you practice well, and you're in the game plan, and then you only get your number called two or three times.
