K Jason Sanders

(I know you’re laser-focused on Sunday, but do you remember how many times you’ve gone back and watched the fake field goal play, if at all, the last few days?) – “No, I don’t; but it’s like what I said. There’s four games left. You don’t want your season to be defined by something else you do that’s not good. You want to go out there and make your kicks and walk out of there 100 percent.”

(How many people texted you about the play that you haven’t heard from in years? Were there a number of those?) – “Sure; but at the same time, I want to focus on my job. I don’t want to take any outside elements that can distract me from coming in on Wednesday. I go into practice and try to do my job there.”

(The most random person who reached out to you. Was there like a grammar school teacher? Has there been anyone where you literally didn’t hear from them in six or seven years and all of a sudden you get a text?) – “No. Not really.”

(So it was more just friends, maybe? Might more just texts from friends, perhaps from New Mexico? Any from college?) – “There were a couple college teammates, yeah. Just the normal people that you know, family members…”

(Did you think P Matt Haack was going to throw it to you conventionally or were you a little surprised he just flicked it?) – “Matt was going to do his job, whether he was going to throw a nice spiral or he was just going to flick it like he did. He’s the one that had to do the heavy lifting on the field goal fake, so I think I give credit to Matt more than me. I was just the guy that happened to stand in the end zone falling to the ground with his hands out. (laughter)”

(That’s why you gave P Matt Haack the ball?) – “Yeah, 100 percent.”

(From a field goal standpoint, it’s gone well. Do you feel like you’re happy with how you’re hitting the ball recently?) – “I think I’m confident with how I’m hitting it. I try to avoid all of the numbers and take it one week at a time. Quite honestly, I don’t even know what my percentage is right now and I don’t really want to know. I want to go out each week and treat it like a new week and build off the kicks that I’ve had like going into Sunday, building off that 51-yarder I had in this last week and use that confidence to get you through this week.”

(You’re staring at a stretch now of three games out of four – the last four in potentially cold situations. What the bigger challenge there?) – “It’s the same thing. We had a couple of games last year in the cold weather. I believe (I went) 4-for-4 at the Packers, and I consider that a cold game. It’s just preparing the same way as you do every week.”
