Postgame – Las Vegas

TE Mike Gesicki

(Fourth-and-20, 27-yard catch. Take us through what you were trying to do there.) – “That’s just a situational play that we go through every Friday so that’s just me understanding the sticks, Jacoby (Brissett) making a play with his feet, keeping the play alive, the other receivers running their routes to have good spacing on that play and then obviously the defense knows it’s fourth-and-20 so you’ve got to get past the sticks. Jacoby put a good ball out there and my job is to go out and make plays when the ball is thrown to me and that was just an opportunity I had to make the most of.”

(What was your perception of QB Jacoby Brissett’s play there?) – “Jacoby did great. He did a great job leading. I think he did a great job getting guys lined up and ultimately did a great job fighting. I think that that’s the biggest thing. We put him back there and he kept plays alive, put the ball in phenomenal spots. DeVante (Parker) had a huge catch on fourth down and Jacoby thread the needle there, thread the needle with me on fourth down. He had the game-tying touchdown before the two-point obviously so you can’t say enough good things about Jacoby. I love playing with him, I love him as a teammate, I love him as a guy.”

(You guys wanted to get off to a quick start. You guys get off to a 14-0 lead. What did they do to try to slow you guys down on the offensive side?) – “You’ve got to give credit to the defense honestly, our defense for our quick start. ‘E. Rob’ (Elandon Roberts) went out there, pick-six, really happy for him. It’s obviously a place where he was injured last year and kind of comes full circle for him and then they got a stop on fourth down. And we talked about getting the running game going. Malcolm goes out, o-line does a great job, tight ends. I think Adam (Shaheen) and Durham (Smythe) were in there, just kind of sealing off the edge, Malcolm squirts out, gets a 25-yard, 30-yard touchdown run. And then it’s the National Football League. They’re going to make plays as well. They did and you’ve got to take your hat off to them. They’re a great football team and this was an unbelievable atmosphere. A lot of fun playing but ultimately a couple plays short.”

(On what opened things up specifically for him) – “Yeah, I couldn’t really put my finger on it honestly. It’s just you’re out there all game, you’re running your routes and sometimes the ball doesn’t come your way, but when it does whether it’s the biggest moment of the game or whether it’s the first play; you don’t know which play is going to be the biggest so you’ve got to go out and take advantage of every opportunity that you get and I think I’ve said it hundreds of times with interviews with you guys. My biggest thing is just making the most of my opportunities so I was presented with a couple opportunities to go make plays and I was able to do so, but like I said earlier, a couple plays short so back to work and we’ll be ready to go next week.”
