QUOTING RAHEEM MORRIS
On keeping the locker room together after a loss like this…
“This is a team. These guys won’t stray away from each other. The locker room will stay together. They’ll stay bonded. Not worried about that, but we’ve definitely got to correct the physical mistakes that we made.”
QUOTING THE FALCONS
Running back Bijan Robinson
On the up-and-down energy this season…
“This is my third year, and I don’t want to keep saying, ‘We played low on Sunday and high on another Sunday.’ Consistency has been the biggest thing for us as a team, and that’s what needs to be preached.”
Inside linebacker Kaden Elliss
On whether he was surprised by the outcome…
“Very. This was a game I expected us to come out and win.”
QUOTING THE OPPONENT
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel
On whether Kirk Cousins being the quarterback altered defensive game plan…
“The plan from the onset was to have a pack mentality on the runner, that it wasn’t going to be one player that was going to have 45 tackles to stop him. It was going to have to be a lot of population around the ball and a lot of strain because a small window or shortcoming in your run fit and they make a living on the explosives and having those big gains. Trying to keep them one-dimensional was a priority, regardless of the quarterback, just based on the offense they have.”
