Halftime – Philadelphia

Head Coach Mike McDaniel on WFOR broadcast with Kim Bokamper

(You don’t waste any time getting this offense going. QB Tua Tagovailoa and WR Tyreek Hill on the first play, it had to feel good for you?) – “I think it felt good for them. They’ve put in a lot of work, but it doesn’t matter until you do it in a stadium in front of fans. So I know they were happy to get started the right way. It was an awesome read by Tua (Tagovailoa). That’s not easy, and it was an awesome read by Tyreek (Hill) tracking that ball, so I was happy with that.”

(One thing you talked about was trying to find this running game. Well, you’ve certainly found it. RB Raheem Mostert comes out with a big run, RB Myles Gaskin getting some effort and RB Salvon Ahmed. Are you seeing your running game do what you want to do?) – “There’s – any time you run the ball with sustained success, it takes a group of individuals working together. So I was happy with the effort, with the (running) backs breaking tackles, but it was good to get a little rhythm going and be able to get some runs called. So there’s a lot of work that goes into that, and I was proud of the guys to be able to reap some of those rewards.”

(Defensively, you got a nice fourth-and-1 stop and a lot of pressure on their quarterback. That had to feel good?) – “That’s an important part of our defensive unit. They take a lot of pride in working the fundamentals and technique. I thought that was on display, and I’m hoping for more of that in the second half.”

(About 30 minutes left in this game, are there still jobs to be had out there?) – “Absolutely. Absolutely, any time you’re on the field in a professional football game, that tape lasts forever. So all the guys are very focused to make sure that the standard that was taken first half, there’s no let up and that standard continues in the second half.”
