Postgame – Philadelphia

RB Patrick Laird (transcribed by Faustino Yanes)

(So what was it like to score your first NFL touchdown?) – “It felt awesome. It was great. I think I got stood up at the 1-yard line and then Michael Deiter came and pushed me in, so he ended up on top of me, so it’s a credit to those guys up front and then Deiter for finishing the play right there. But no, it felt great.”

(What can you tell us about the two-point conversion play? Was it designed for you? Tell us about the play.) – “’Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) has his reads on that but all week in practice, we expected a matchup where I can get inside the linebacker or the safety, whoever was covering me, and so that’s how it worked out. ‘Fitz’ made a great throw and it ended up working out.”

(How does it feel to get a little bit of run last week and then contribute this week?) – “It feels awesome. I have been sticking to my process, sticking to my routine since Week 1, so if the opportunity presented itself, I’d be ready to go on offense. I’ve been playing special team for a while. I love that role on special teams. I’ll continue to do that, but if they need me on offense, then I’ll do what the coaches ask.”

(This offense has been noticeably flat this season in the second half of games. What changed today?) – “I think, like I said just me personally, but everyone on the team has done this is we’ve stuck together and we’ve stuck to our process, our routine, the things that (Head) ‘Coach Flo’ (Brian Flores) preaches each week. It might not seem like it on the outside but this team is really close, we play together and so when we get into tight games like this, we end up on the winning side.”
