Postgame – Philadelphia

TE Mike Gesicki (transcribed by Ken Mendonça)

(You and WR Devante Parker kind of put on a clinic with the jump balls today out there. Is that something on the sideline you noticed, the mismatches maybe in size?) – “DeVante started it off. He’s been playing great all year. I couldn’t be more happy for his because he’s taken a lot of criticism that he didn’t deserve in the past and he’s been making a ton of plays, so I’m really happy for him. ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) does a phenomenal job just putting the ball up and giving you a chance. Like I’ve always said, when you’re given your opportunity, you have to go make a play.”

(How cool was watching K Jason Sanders’ touchdown from the sideline?) – “Oh, man. We’ve been practicing that for two months. We were like, ‘Are we going to call it? Are we going to call it?’ And then we called it, and I’m like, ‘Oh man.’ He flicked it to him, and I mean, that was awesome. I think that that’s a credit to (Special Teams Coordinator) Danny (Crossman) and his play calling as a special teams coach. He’s been aggressive all year. I’m just happy for Matt (Haack) and Jason and the whole special teams crew to make plays like that.”

(You’ve got a touchdown streak now.) – “I’m not talking about it. (laughter) I’m just focusing on my job and continuing to follow my routine and continue to work hard and hopefully good things will follow.”

(Can you tell us what happened on the touchdown?) – “You know, it’s funny, I was talking to ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) after that. I said, ‘We’ve been running that play since OTAs and never once have I gotten the ball on that play.’ It was a play that I kind of knew I had a shot on, he scrambled out and just put in the back of the end zone and I was able to go up and get it.”
