The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 30-24 at Levi's® Stadium in Week 8. Here's what both teams had to say following the contest:

Niners Liners

San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan on RB Isaac Guerendo's performance:

"I thought he did a great job. He came in, he was ready to go. Jordan Mason got banged up, JP tried to come back and maybe could have, but Isaac was rolling and did a good job."

Shanahan on QB Brock Purdy's second-half performance:

"I think it was a gut check for him, I mean, for all of us. Things in the first half, we were close, but it didn't go great. Brock, there was a couple plays I know he'd love to have back. I thought he came out in the second half and there were a few plays that weren't there, and he did a hell of a job extending with his feet. The one in particular, we were trying to throw a screen at Deebo Samuel Sr. and the D-end peeled with it, which just means you have no play, and he just ran and turned it into a 16-yarder. So, he did some real big things there in the second half."

Shanahan on the importance of the win heading into the Bye week:

"Getting that win was huge. Being 4-4, not at all the record that we wanted when we set out, but when you look at our division and everything, feel in a real good spot and especially finishing it here with the win. Hopefully, we can take some time off, rest a little bit, get a couple guys back, hopefully, and come back and string some wins together here in the second half."

Quarterback Brock Purdy on the team's "next man up" mentality:

"Yeah, I think just going back to the guys that Kyle and (President of Football Operations/General Manager) John (Lynch) and our organization brings in, they bring in guys that are gritty, have a standard for themselves. They come in and they're willing to do what the coaches ask and they see other guys practicing and stuff and they want to be great. That's the standard here. When you've got some guys that go down, the next guy that comes in has the right mentality. Jordan Mason, Isaac and all these young guys, Ricky Pearsall, like you've got guys that come in with the right mindset of continuing to chase greatness within our standard of our team. It doesn't surprise me at all."

Defensive lineman Nick Bosa on the team's potential:

"Of course we need to improve. The rookies will show up and do their part. Adding to an already really good lineup of guys is huge. We're going to keep getting better and I think getting this win is obviously huge. We'll rest up, get a couple guys back and hit the ground running."

Running back Isaac Guerendo on the team's success in Week 8:

"I think the most important part was being able to finish that game with a win. More than anything, I'm making sure that I'm taking advantage of my opportunities. I've got to give props to the offensive line, the tight ends and receivers all blocking their butts off. I appreciate that more than anything. I'm just happy to be here."

Tight end George Kittle on becoming fifth in franchise history in receptions and third in reception yardage:

"It's an honor. I'm thankful that I get to be a part of an organization with a very high standard of how they play football. I'm thankful that they've kept me around for a long time and every single day striving to be better than I was the day before and continually prove that. I need to be on the San Francisco 49ers roster. To be on a list with any of those names, any list that you're on with Jerry Rice is a good thing. To be with all those other guys is fantastic. It's an honor, and I learned in college that you want to leave your jersey in a better place. That's all I'm striving to do every single day and I know all those guys did that."

Linebacker Fred Warner on the team's potential after the Bye:

"We can be whoever we want, honestly. After the Bye it's 0-0. We are at five hundred right now. We are a game back from being first in the division, whatever that means. We have everything ahead of us. We can be whoever we want. We have everybody that we need. In terms of players obviously we are banged up. We will get healthy after the week, hopefully get some guys back. It's about just getting better at this point. We can't keep getting up for a game and then dropping one and then, 'oh, let's try and figure out a way to win another one.' Let's just get better. That is why those little errors at the end of a game were so frustrating because the good teams, they don't make those. We got to find a way to just play four quarters of straight execution."

Tackle Trent Williams on the impact of a win against the Cowboys:

"It's good to have anybody's number. It's hard to win in this league no matter what the rosters look like, no matter what the spread is, and who the underdog is. It's hard to win in this league so anytime you can beat a team, especially against a team we have a lot of history with, it always feels good."

Cowboys Quotes

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy on the matchup vs. San Francisco:

"Their (49ers) key players were very productive tonight. When you put together a plan for that, you need to execute on it. So coaches and players, we can learn from this. We're three and four, that's the facts of this deal. I felt very confident based off of the week's preparation. We're disappointed. We're disappointed because we felt we were going to come in here and do what we needed to do to get the win. We came up short."

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott on the 49ers performance:

"They made the plays when they needed to and we didn't."
