DT Christian Wilkins

(The QB Teddy Bridgewater situation, have you seen him today? How does he look to you? And what did you think yesterday when he left the game? Did you think that was necessary?) – “Yeah, I didn’t really know what happened exactly. It wasn’t until later I found out about what’s going on but that’s the – I guess those are the new rules. That’s how things are going to be handled. Not only Teddy, but other guys around the league, I saw there were a bunch of guys who kind of dealt with the same situation. That’s just what it is. We’re looking to protect the players.”

(How did QB Teddy Bridgewater look to you today?) – “Fine.”

(Defensively, just to give up 40 points, how do you rally around each other to make sure that this Sunday it’s a different result?) – “It’s simple. We watch the tape today and then get back to it tomorrow, and then everyone’s got to just hold themselves accountable and look themselves in the mirror and see what they can do better to make sure that that doesn’t happen. We all got to have each other’s back and carry guys with us.”

(Later in the game against Jets after QB Teddy Bridgewater has this situation, Jets WR Braxton Berrios takes what appears to be a hit to the head. He’s taken a knee to not get up. It’s kind of fascinating how things develop just within a game where players are adjusting apparently. Do you think that’s going to be a conversation among players now? Strategically, just hold on and don’t get up immediately?) – “Yeah, I really don’t know. But I’m sure the spotters or whoever will still do what they – they’ll be doing their job. I really don’t know how guys will handle it.”

(What sticks out to you?  You probably haven’t looked at the Vikings too much. I know it’s Monday. But WR Adam Thielen is a stud, you’ve got WR Justin Jefferson on the outside and RB Dalvin Cook. What’s the key to making sure that you can limit them?) – “Yeah, they definitely got a lot of good players. They have a really good athletic offensive line. They obviously got really good skill players. They can do a lot of good things. They can put up points. They can do it all. We definitely got to have a good week of preparation. We’ve got a tough challenge in front of us. They’re a really good team and a really good offense. We’re all going to just have to put our best foot forward this week.”

(The last two fourth quarters, Cincinnati and the Jets, how much of it had to do with injuries? How much of it had to do with being on the road?) – “Yeah, you don’t make excuses. We’re all pros. We’re here for a reason. It doesn’t matter. We’ve just got to do better and we’ve got to finish, really. Everyone has a job to do. You’ve just got to do it to the best of your abilities for a full 60 (minutes).”
