Postgame – Minnesota

Miami Dolphins S Minkah Fitzpatrick (Transcribed by Minnesota Vikings)

Q: On touchdown return…

A: I was actually on the blitz. When I walked into that 3 by 1, Diggs and those two, they were vertical. I had a couple guys call it out. I was able to just go since I was on the blitz, and I didn’t have to be patient. So, I just went. Kirk was looking at them the entire time, and I just looked at him.

Q: On defense during 2nd and 3rd quarter…

A: We did our job well around the board. We stopped the run, stopped the pass. Covered more on the back end, even when he was running around. Our 1st quarter, nobody was doing their job. We weren’t covering the back end, we weren’t stopping the run. When that happens, we work off each other. When we can’t stop one, it is hard to stop the other. But the 2nd and 3rd quarter, we did a good job of stopping each phase of the game.

Q: What surprises you most about what happened on defense overall?

A: It surprised me how fast they got points on the board. It hasn’t happened all season, 21 points in the first quarter is way too much. We’re not happy about it, but we’ll use it as a tool on the next games. There’s not much we can do about it now.
