NYG Postgame (vs. Miami) Transcripts: S Michael Thomas -- December 15, 2019

Q: Were you surprised by the reaction that Eli (Manning) received?
A: I wasn’t surprised, but it was definitely pleasant to hear. It was definitely something that we rallied behind and we got fired up about. Guys said let’s call it like it is, we are playing for him. We are playing for Eli today. Let’s send him off right. He’s a legend, let’s send him off the right way.

Q: What was it like when they pulled him off the field?
A: I’ve never been a part of something like that. It was cool to see. It gave me chills, it gave me goosebumps. That man is a legend and we respect him. I’m glad we were able to get a win for him.

Q: I’m sure you saw Eli well up a little bit at the end. Have you ever seen him like that?
A: A little bit, but yeah that means a lot. We put so much into this game, but for him, the storm he’s been through in his career, the ups and downs. The highest of highs, this year, technically he got benched or whatever and then having a situation where you’re starting again to end your career instead of oh well shoot, I’m going to end my career not playing. End his tenure with the Giants, historic. We just wanted to come out here and get the win for him, that was cool.

Q: It’s going to seem silly when he starts next week or in two weeks, right?
A: Shoot, shoot, exactly! Let’s get another one then, shoot! Let’s get another one for him!
