GLOVER QUIN

On the win today: “Score points, create turnovers, today we were able to do that. Forced two turnovers, get some points on the board, keep them out of the end zone, keep us in the game. Special teams came through and made a big play, then the offense came through in the second half with a touchdown and held the ball, what, eight minutes in the fourth quarter to close it out? So that was huge.”

On if the team made any adjustments at half time: “No, we just continued to play, you know, just continued to play. Obviously the game goes and, you know, they make adjustments and some things may be subtle here or there, but we knew what type of game it was going to be and we just kept fighting. Defensively, we had to hold up, you know, hold up our end of the bargain and everybody chipped in.”

On if it is fun to play at Ford Field on Thanksgiving and looking ahead to next week: “Yeah it is, you know, this is going to be my fifth in a row. I remember I played, my first one started in 2012 when I was in Houston and then my four years here, so it’s fun. It’s a turnaround, especially coming off a tough game like that, you know. We’ve got to make sure that we’re doing a good job to get our bodies back right, so we come out and be healthy and be fresh and be ready to go on Thanksgiving morning.”
