“The defence got some big stops for us and we found a way to win.
“Coach Reid told me 'keep firing, keep believing' and he gave me a lot of confidence to go out there no matter what.
“The 49ers have an amazing defence, one of the best defences I've played against so far and I'm just glad our guys kept fighting.
“This team has heart, coach pushes us to be the best we can be. We did it baby!"
