WR Jaylen Waddle

(I don’t know if you heard the LB Jordyn Brooks comments about the cold weather being a factor. What did you think? Was cold weather a factor in the Green Bay game?) – “No, not really. I think they just outplayed us, out-executed us and no, we’ve played in colder weather so no.”

(The new offense that you guys have, is this the offense that’s here for the future, do you think or do you think you guys go back next year to the big play passing offense that we saw the previous two seasons?) – “I think we’re doing a good job of taking what the defense gives us, not forcing plays, not putting the quarterback in bad situations where he’s forced to do something or puts the ball in jeopardy. So I think it’s just doing what the defense allows us to do. We’re doing a good job of moving the ball, just got to stay ahead of the chains. We’ll be all right.”

(Would you like to see it go back to where you and WR Tyreek Hill had all those targets and all those receptions?) – “Whatever helps us win. If it’s big plays, yeah, if it’s defense wants to keep its shell and make us drive; whichever helps us win.”

(What do you think can be done in cold weather games to maybe boost the team if you do face those scenarios again in Cleveland…?) – “It’s all about mindset. They’re cold, we’re cold. So go out there and just embrace it, embrace the cold and live in the moment, for real, for real. It was prime time at Lambeau so just live in the moment. You don’t get too many games like that.”

(What about the bigger picture? “This is a speed team and not a tough team” – do you hear that a lot and you heard it after Thursday night’s game? What’s your response?) – “I’d never heard that before.”

(How does the team bounce back?) – “We’ve got a tough opponent ahead in the Jets. So it’s a work week. Back to work. We’ve got five more games. Every game is essential now, so yeah, man, back to work. Keep the main thing the main thing. We’ve got a tough opponent this week.”

(When you guys went back and looked at some of the penalties and the mental mistakes, what would you attribute to some of them?) – “We definitely harp on – Mike (McDaniel) definitely harps on not killing ourselves before the play. We just have to be better in that aspect of the game. Yeah, we’ve just got to be better.”

(Are there times in the game where you or WR Tyreek Hill just don’t want to come out of the game and I say that because sometimes you need a couple shots at something before it happens, you know what I mean? Like are there times where you guys don’t want to come out of games in certain situations?) – “I mean unless we’re just extremely tired, we’re normally in the game and we probably get a play off and then go right in. So me and ‘Reek’ (Tyreek Hill) definitely try to be in the game. We know that it kind of affects how the defense plays us and trying to keep a shell on so yeah, we always want to be in the game, always.”

(Are you guys in a mindset right now where each game is an elimination game? Do you feel like essentially postseason starts now?) – “Yeah, we dug ourselves into a hole so every game is important now. Every game.”

(You mentioned facing the Jets. What do you think of seeing them again? A team that you have a lot of familiarity with but you haven’t seen them in such a long time, too?) – “It’s going to be a tough game. Every time we play the Jets, it’s going to be a tough game. A great group. Defense is always great. Yeah, man, we’ve got a lot on our plate this week handling everything that comes with them.”
