Via @BySamGordon on Twitter:

He’s a franchise changer. He’s done that everywhere he’s gone and he is helping revitalize what we got here. The belief amongst this team, now that he’s arrived, as opposed to what it was before he got here, it’s night and day. We let one get away last night, but tonight we would’ve lost. Just having a guy like that changes everything.
