Postgame – New England

TE Mike Gesicki (transcribed by New England Patriots)

(On Ryan Fitzpatrick…) – “That dude is the man. I love playing with him and I am happy to have gotten the win today. I am sure that he is all jacked up but I have not seen him since we were on the field. I am happy for him and happy to have made a play. He deserves the world so it was fun. I will start the, ‘One more year’ chant right now if you want. I love playing with him and I think that is obvious. I appreciate all the opportunities he has given me this year.”

(On what it says about the team winning five of their last nine games…) – “Everybody is writing us off and everyone has something to say but it is what it is. All we did is go to work every day and did a great job with keeping our heads on straight and not taking anything for granted. We came up here and got a big win but I think the motivation for us is that we don’t have next week so going into this off-season, attack it and come back next season ready to work.”

(On how he feels about his touchdown…) – “Well it was absolutely silent so I didn’t know if there was a penalty or what was going on. I had to make sure there weren’t any call backs first but it was a great feeling and fun. Like I said earlier, that was just 4 yards and there were a lot of plays that went on before that, a lot of guys who made plays to help us get down there. I was just happy to be able to finish it off and make the play.”

(On how it feels that this momentum came so late in the season…) – “There are a lot of positives to build on but I think that moving forward we know what we are capable, there is a lot of talent in this locker room and I am just looking forward to attacking this off-season and coming back next season even stronger.”

(On the biggest thing that he learned about himself in the 2019 season…) – “Honestly, I think I have kind of harped on it but just to make the most of every opportunity. You don’t know when they are going to come and it isn’t like there were tons of opportunities in today’s game but in the most crucial moments, whether it is 4 yards, 40 yards or whatever it is, if the ball comes to you with the chance to win the game, go up and make the play.

(On what differences everyone can expect to see for next season…) – “You know this is the same team that we started with and we have all grown a lot. There has also been a lot of leadership from the older guys that has trickled all the way down to the rookies and younger guys like myself and all the other guys. It has been cool and fun and it is definitely a step to build on.”
