K Jason Sanders

(I know you lost the game but on the other hand, you did something that no one has ever done for this team, making seven field goals on Sunday.) – “Yeah, you have to look at the positives. I did a lot of good things; but at the end of the day, you’re trying to win a game. That eighth field goal we could have had would have been, to me, the deciding factor. But you have to look at a lot of the positives too. I kicked a lot of good balls in some cold weather.”

(Did you think there would be a game like this – I don’t know if you could envision it – where you were responsible for all of the points?) – “No. To me, I’m just going to get what I’m going to get. Ultimately, I want touchdowns. That’s what a team player is going to say. If we have to kick eight times, I’m going to kick eight times; but we want to punch it in the end zone. That’s the ultimate goal.”

(I know you can’t speak for all kickers but maybe just you, do you mentally prepare for that? That could happen some day?) – “You’ve got to take each kick the same, whether it’s one with one minute left or it’s in the first quarter. Each kick to me is going to be the same amount of points. It’s going to be three points at the end of the day. So I’m going to take my same routine, my same process, to approach the field.”

(Is there any extra pressure knowing the game you just came off of that this team could depend on you again for situations like this? Maybe not as dramatic as this.) – “Yeah, like I said: whatever kick I get, I’m going to take my same routine and my same mindset that I’m going onto the field that I’m going to make this kick.”

(Were you asked about the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week snub?) – “I was not but to me, I don’t think I was snubbed. If I would have gone 8-for-8, maybe it would have been a different story; but I understand that the losing team usually doesn’t get it. To me, I don’t really care. I’ve got three games left and that’s all I’m really worried about.”

(How do you feel your season as a whole has been this year?) – “I think my overall percentage can’t be great. I’m not sure what it is. But I know that I’ve done a lot of good things and that’s what’s going to carry me through the next three games, looking back at all of the good things that I’ve done.”

(Do you feel like you’ve kicked well this year?) – “I do. I feel like I’ve kicked a lot of pressure kicks, a lot of big kicks that we’ve needed.”

(I assume you’ve never had seven field goals before on any level?) – “No. The most was four last year against the Packers.”

(Are you looking at it like you made seven or you missed one?) – “I mean I left one kick out there. It could have been the difference at the end of the day. But I have to look at the positives. I did a lot of good things after I missed that kick. (Making) 7-of-8 is still a good day for me.”
