Postgame – at New England

Miami Dolphins S Michael Thomas (transcribed by the New England Patriots)

(On talking with David Ortiz at the coin flip) – “It is always good to see somebody who is a legend, a future Hall-of-Famer.  I was just saying, ‘Congrats on the career’, and he said, ‘Congrats on being a captain’. That was pretty cool. It was pretty quick and pretty natural. It was respect. My dad grew up Yankee fan so I watched plenty of Red Sox versus Yankee games. I was neutral [as  a fan].”

(On the game) – “You have got to give a lot of credit to this Patriots’ organization, no matter who is in there at quarterback for them. They always have a great game plan. It was a whole different game once Garoppolo went out. Kudos to them, they made plays and we had to find some ways to get stops. You have to give credit to them. They are a great organization and they find a way to make plays. It showed how much fight this team has and is a testament to how hard we worked in the offseason. This is a one week league. Nobody cares what you did last week. This is going to hurt for 24 hours, then it is on to Cleveland.”

(On why the Dolphins struggle in New England but play the Patriots well in Miami) – “I wish I could answer that. We have had some success against them [in Miami] so it is tough that we didn’t come away with a win today.”
