CENTER LLOYD CUSHENBERRY III
In the beginning, you guys got off to a good start offensively?
Got some good play-actions in, got the run game going a little bit and just the flow of the game felt good until we started to hurt ourselves with penalties.
So, you think the penalties kind of started that spiral to the Pats gaining some momentum?
Yeah, I would say penalties and then eventually the turnover in the second half. But started with a penalties. Started with myself. I had a bad penalty in the second quarter, I believe, so it started with that.
How do you try and prevent, I guess, the motivation and the belief in the locker room from dipping?
I don't see it dipping. Like I said last week, we all still have a job to do. We're playing for each other. We're playing for the name on our chest, the organization. Also we're trying to represent the name on our backs. So, we all got to take pride in that and just come back to work, back to the drawing board. And like Coach McCoy told us, man, every Sunday is a dream. We all dreamed of being here growing up. So, you can't take it for granted and just got to keep going.
Cedric Gray said he thinks it'll be that much more fulfilling to come out on the other side with some progress having gone through all of this together. Do you agree with that?
Definitely, 100 percent. So much adversity has been going on. It'll feel amazing to get some good positive vibes going back in this locker room and in this building.
