Postgame – New England Patriots

Miami Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant (transcribed by Lexie Balboni)

(Can you believe this team is a game out of the playoffs with as much as you guys have gone through with losing five straight, losing your quarterback and all that? There’s a pretty good chance you’ll be playing in January.) – “We’re not worried about that. We have a one game mentality. We’re just worried about the next game coming up and just trying to win that one. If we keep playing like that who knows.”

(You’ve been thinking for the whole time you’ve been here, and you’ve said it before about what you could do at receiver, to haul in that catch on Monday Night Football against New England. What does that mean to you?) – “It means a lot. It feels great. I don’t care about the outside; I just wanted to make those plays for the team. They definitely knew I could make those plays but actually just going out there and doing it, and proving myself, means a lot to me. Now it’s just a stepping ladder. That’s the first step up the ladder and now I have to make more plays just like it.”

(It was a tough play against Patriots CB Malcolm Butler. Tell me about it.) – “It was a go route. He played it within five yards so I used my speed. I thought it was going to be an over the shoulder ball but Jay threw it up there and trusted me to come down with it so I had to make a play. Like I told Adam previously, I promised my kids I would score a touchdown for them so I had to. I was hungry enough to get that touchdown and come down with it. Also I wanted to make that play for the team to show them that you can trust me.”
