Postgame – N.Y. Jets

LB Elandon Roberts

(Throughout the course of the season, you win three, lose three, win five, lose five — what kind of rollercoaster was that like and how did you guys stay together to pull out the must win-game situation of the year?) – “I just think it is the need. It’s a lot of ups-and-downs throughout the season. It’s about how you respond. It’s about not letting it just go downhill. You see the ebbs and flows and it’s just about ‘okay I’m on the rise, how do I duplicate, I know that response, okay I am dipping again what do I need to do to respond from that?’ There is no secret to winning five games. It’s about how you respond. And like I was saying, if they told us that we would be able to control our own destiny the last game of the season, who wouldn’t have been ready for that opportunity? And we took advantage of it today on offense, defense and special teams.”

(So many times we ask you what Coach (Mike McDaniel) said after a game, but what did Coach McDaniel say before the game to motivate you coming out?) – “I think ‘guys, let’s just lock in’ we heard the message that we’re here and like I said we were guaranteed 60 minutes and it was on us. What we did was take full advantage and played the full 60-minute game – offense, defense and special teams.”

(As bad as those last five locker rooms felt, what did it feel like when the ball went through the uprights?) – “It felt good. I knew Jason (Sanders) would hit it. Jason doesn’t flinch. If there’s one thing about Jason is he doesn’t flinch. I knew. And then we would get back on the field and play defense the way we know. We had been talking about the situations and because we had no doubt he was going to hit it. Like I said, it was going to be that type of game – offense, defense and special teams. That’s what it came down to.”
