Postgame – Las Vegas

RB Myles Gaskin

(On that long touchdown, the run down the sideline, it looked like you could’ve been stopped there, but you cut back the other way and WR Mack Hollins and TE Mike Gesicki had two big blocks. Just what was going on in your mind there, because it looked like you could’ve got stopped there, but you cut back, they get two big blocks and then it’s a race to the end zone?) – “This time I got spun around after the catch, and I saw my dogs out there, Mack (Hollins) and Mike (Gesicki). I saw Mike’s block, I didn’t really see Mack’s block. He told me about it though. It was great. We’re just always grinding, always trying to make plays. You don’t always have to have the ball in your hands to make plays. It doesn’t happen without them two.”

(I’m sure for part of the game it was a little frustrating for the offense that you weren’t able to get going. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick comes in, what was going on in the huddle when “Fitz” came in that got you guys going the way that you did?) – “I just think a different energy. Everybody knows ‘Fitz.’ He’s just a different type of guy. I think it was a changeup, but it was coach’s call, so I think everybody just kept on grinding and finally things started to hit. You never know in a game, that’s why you have to take it one play at a time. You never know. Once you start hitting, you start hitting, hitting, hitting and hitting. But you got to grind through that. Sometimes it’s slow.”

(How would you describe the emotional rollercoaster those last five minutes with all of those ups and downs?) – “That’s what football is all about. That’s what you love about football, especially in the NFL. Ain’t anybody weak, ain’t anybody an easy win, especially in football in December. You play that all the way out. I love this atmosphere. I love this game. Hats off to the Raiders, they played a great game. Probably the most fun game I ever played in my life. I think that’s what sports and competing, all that stuff is really about. It’s coming down to the wire, who is going to make the play.”

(The success you guys had on the ground early in the second half seemed to really get the ball rolling for you. What was the difference from early on when it was kind of tough sledding for you?) – “I think just sticking to it like I said, in any aspect of football or life; whatever it might be, you got to stick to it. Whenever you get your opportunity, just start popping like I said, and just keep hitting it, keep on hitting and it came through. The o-line was doing their job like always. We were talking, communicating and got what we needed to get done.”
