POSTGAME MEDIA AVAILABILITY

JANUARY 5, 2025

Q: I know the game didn’t matter but you still wanted a win, kind of assess how this game went for you.

MT: For sure, you always want to win. Not the outcome we wanted, but a lot of good experience for a lot of young guys and other guys to get some playing time. You would like to come away with a win, but we know what it is at this point. We’re on to next week, focus on whoever we’re going to be playing, so I thought a lot of guys did a lot of good things today. I thought the O-line did a great job. I thought we ran the ball well. We just got to score some more points to help us win, but we’re on to next week.

Q: A number of guys hit milestones today. James Cooks with touchdowns, a thousand yards, Von Miller got his incentive for sacks. How important are those things to these guys in the locker room?

MT: I think it’s big because it’s – you want those for those guys. Like, you see all the work they put in and they deserve those accolades. So for Jimbo [James Cook] to get another touchdown, to reach a thousand yards, Von [Miller] to get a sack. I think Sam [Martin] hit something with his punts. You want all your teammates to do their very best and get everything they deserve and we’ve all put the work in so for them to hit those milestones today I think it was huge for us.

Q: How about you? Get out of the basement with the rushing total.

MT: Yeah, I didn’t get any – there’s no incentive for that, but at least I’m out of the negative, so that was cool to see. Like I said, would like to get – I’m sure there’s some things I can improve on. Go back to the film and we would like to get a win, but overall positive for most of the guys today and now I’m out the negative for rush yards, so that’s good.

Q: How does this team turn the page for the playoffs and get ready to roll?

MT: You just – you just flip the page. I mean, this is the last game. You want to win, but we know what we have in this locker room. We find out who we’re playing, we go back to work. Win or lose, you flush it and you get ready for the playoffs now so we’re excited to be back at home this weekend and whoever we play, we’ll be ready. Thanks, guys.
