Postgame – Las Vegas

 DT Christian Wilkins

(How would you describe the emotions of the game?) – “It’s obviously tough. You prepare so hard each week, each and every day to get wins in this league and it’s tough. The Raiders are a good team, first of all. This is tough because we fought hard. You got a lot of guys in this locker room who are fighters and give you everything they got. We just didn’t make enough plays ultimately. It’ll be a quick turnaround, 24-hour rule and get ready for next week.”

(Early on I believe you got a sack, how good did that feel to get in the backfield?) – “It’s always nice to make plays, you work hard. Again, we didn’t make enough plays to win so it would have felt a lot better in a winning effort, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. You can’t control that. You can just play hard each and every play. Like I said, we didn’t make enough plays to win.”

(Speaking of that sack, how did it come to be? It looked like DL Adam Butler got triple-teamed and it freed you up a bit.) – “I don’t know exactly. I have to watch the tape to really see it. Adam (Butler) does a good job of taking one, two or three guys at a different time to make it easier for other guys. We play off each other. I’d do the same for him. I don’t really know how it went down.”

(There are no moral victories but was there a sense of encouragement with the way the team rallied at the end?) – “Yeah really no moral victories but like I said, we got a lot of guys on this team who are willing to fight. When we’re down late in the third and fourth quarter, we’re just trying to get things going, make stops. Guys didn’t give up. Guys didn’t hang their heads. Guys didn’t point fingers. We stuck together and fought to at least get it in overtime. But again, it just wasn’t enough. Every experience is big. Every battle-tested experience is big for us.”

(As a defense when you see your offense with their backs against the wall, make play after play and you’re watching tat, you have to feel like the momentum is turning when you’re there at the end right?) – “Yeah, it’s definitely exciting and you try to get behind the offense. When we’re going and we need to make a stop on defense they pick us up as well. We try to just encourage each other, whether we are up, whether we are down, whether we need a big stop, whether they need to score. Just always be there for each other.”
