RB Jeff Wilson Jr.

(On if the team has to run more if there’s a rookie quarterback making his first playoff start) – “No, I don’t necessarily feel that way, because the way Skylar (Thompson) is developing and learning the plays and getting more comfortable playing the quarterback position in our offense, I feel like we don’t have to alter all of those things. We just have to play good complementary football, and that’s not offense and defense – that’s on offense. The run got to help the pass, the pass got to help the run and that’s how we win the game.”

(Do you anticipate the atmosphere being different than the previous time you were up there? Not only because of the rowdy fans, but if Damar Hamlin comes, it’s just going ratchet up a little bit.) – “Yeah, it is, but that’s all for them. That has nothing to do with us. Like I said, all we have to do is come out and play football. Like I was telling somebody earlier, if you put Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson in the ring, they’re going to be rocking each other the whole fight until somebody eventually falls. That’s what it is. No matter who is there. Like I said, about their situation, my heart and prayers still go their way even though (Hamlin) is out and released (from the hospital), I still pray for him. I still ask God to keep him covered and his family. But at the end of the day, it’s football and that’s what we’re coming and doing and that’s what we’re coming to play.”

(If RB Raheem Mostert can’t go this week, how ready are you to take on possibly a bigger role at the running back position?) – “I’m always ready. You have to prepare for everything in this league. Regardless of if he’s there or not, we’re going to prepare as if he was and if he wasn’t. We’re just going to stay ready and be ready to play a good game of football.”
