RB Kenyan Drake

(On being close to a win yesterday but not being able to pull it out at the end.) – “That’s football. It’s unfortunate that we ended up on that side of the win/loss margin. We have to finish better.”

(The offense finally seemed to get going. Is it a little more injecting finally now that you got into the end zone and see what you were capable of for a while?) – “Regardless of if we lost by 30 points or 1 point, the result is still the same. We have to find ways to move the ball when it matters. We just came up short.”

(Maybe things have calmed down a little bit overnight but what’s the mood of this team right now coming off that loss?) – “We understand that a lot of the situations that we put ourselves in are self-inflicted. We have to correct that. Whether it’s physical or mental, we have to put ourselves in the best situation to be able to win the game at the end of the game, which we are doing; but we have to finish it off. That’s our main goal.”

(Is there anger? Disappointment? What are the feelings in here right now?) – “This game is not really meant for a lot of feelings. We just know we have to do a better job at the end of the game to finish the game and that’s it.”

(What about in terms of the big picture and playoff hopes? What’s your mindset right now in terms of that?) – “We play to win the game so at the end of the day, that’s the most important thing: to put yourself in the best situation at the end of the day to win games. That’s our number one focus.”

(Have you looked at the standings?) – “No, because I know for us to control our destiny, we have to win out. So it doesn’t really matter what anybody else is doing. It matters about what we’re doing and that’s the most important thing is focusing on ourselves and focusing on our next opponent, then going out there and taking care of it each and every week.”

(You said you have to win out so is there a pretty big sense of urgency in here right now? Are backs against the wall?) – “No. We’re taking it one game at a time. At the end of the day, whoever we have next, that’s our next opponent. We (have to) do what we have to do (and) put this game behind us. We already looked at film so it’s on to Buffalo this week.”

(Head Coach Adam Gase said you fell on the same shoulder again. How much pain are you playing through?) – “Football is a physical game so everybody is nicked up. I’m doing my best to be in the game so I can help this team win more games.”

(What did you see on your two touchdowns? It looked like your speed came into play.) – “I didn’t get touched really on either one so that’s a testament to the linemen, the receivers, everybody being in the position they need to be in and me just trying to make a play with the ball in my hands.”

(Do you expect to practice this week and do you expect to play Sunday?) – “Yeah. I mean it’s football. Everybody is hurt so I’m going to be out there.”
