Detroit Lions: Jim Caldwell, Players Comment on Week 17 Loss to Packers
By Zac Snyder
Darius Slay
On how disappointing tonight’s loss is: “It’s a new season right now, so I’m not really focused on what just happened. We’ve got to look forward. I think we’ve got Seattle, and get moving forward, man, because we’re in the playoffs. So that’s the most important part right at this moment. So we’re just going to look forward to playing Seattle next week.”
On what the Packers offense did in the second half to take some of the energy out of the defense: “Nothing special. You know, they just – I don’t know. Like I said, I’m not worried about that anymore. They’re gone in the past now.”
On how he felt throughout the game with his injury after leading the team in tackles tonight: “I did? That’s crazy, but I finished. So that would count. That’s it.”
On the job he did covering Packers WR Jordy Nelson: “Yeah, I mean, I contained him. I kept him in front of me. He made a couple plays, but I read his slants here, slants there. That’s not going to beat us, but I contained him the best way I could.”
