Quarterback Daniel Jones

Q: You and (wide receiver Darius) Slayton getting that connection going again. Take us through that touchdown.

A: It was just a great play by him, really. He lost the guy on the route. They brought pressure there so just tried to get it to him and he did the rest. Heck of a play by him.

Q: What's it like having to turn around and hand it off 42 times?

A: Yeah, it was good and fun to watch. I think the guys up front did a great job controlling the line of scrimmage all game. I thought we had a good plan in the run game coming in and those guys did a good executing. (Running back) Saquon (Barkley) obviously did a great job running it. (Running back Matt) Breida did a great job when he got in there too.

Q: How would you describe the way you played? It was the highest quarterback rating of your career.

A: I think it helps when we run the ball that well and that effectively. Just try to convert on the opportunities I had, and I thought guys made great plays. You talked about the Slayton one and a couple other key plays for us.

Q: You say that Slayton made a great play, but you got crunched on that throw to Slayton. Did you feel it coming right there and know that you were getting rid of it just in time?

A: Yeah, I felt the pressure. They brought a blitz and twisted up front. Great job by him losing the guy on the route and then he did the rest.

Q: Did you throw it to where you thought Slayton was going to be or did you see Darius when he came out of his route?

A: I saw him om that one.

Q: How eager was Saquon to keep running the ball?

A: He loves those opportunities, he loves the opportunity to take over a game and play as well as he did. He played very well today.

Q: On the Slayton touchdown, did you see him running down the sideline?

A: I did, yeah. I got up and I saw him.

Q: I know before the bye, you talked about (tackle) Andrew Thomas and what he's meant to this offense. For someone who's watched him his entire career, he goes out every week and brings consistency – how much does that help the entire offense? It seems like it's almost one guy and you can do whatever you want to do.

A: Yeah, he's played tremendously the whole year. Super consistent at a critical position on offense. Tremendous amount of credit to him with how he's played all year. He's been big time for us.

Q: There was a play or two when you guys had eight offensive linemen on like a third and one. You guys have four of your starters coming off the bench now on offense. How do you feel about the offensive line considering where it was maybe a year or two ago?

A: We got a lot of guys up front playing at a really high level. I think you see that in the way we're running the ball and how we're controlling the line of scrimmage with a lot of that stuff. A lot of good players on the field when you're able to do that in some of those packages we have.

Q: What does it say about your coaching staff that a guy like (tight end) Lawrence (Cager) and (wide receiver) Isaiah (Hodgins) who have only been here a short time are able to step up on a game like this and help you out?

A: Yeah, I think it says a lot. I think they've done a great job getting up to speed and understanding what we're doing and trying to do and coming in and making big plays for us. Those guys stepped up and played well today.

Q: How much was on you from a mental standpoint? It seemed like you guys were on the line a lot, you guys were checking a lot. How much of that did you have to do today?

A: I think we're communicating throughout the play getting the call and executing it, so not a ton.

Q: So (offensive coordinator) Mike (Kafka) is still talking to you when you're at the line there?

A: Yeah.

Q: When you walk into the locker room after the game, do you give yourself a split second to go, '7-2, wow?'

A: Yeah, I think certainly after the game, you got to enjoy the wins and reflect a little bit on where we are. Certainly, it's a lot better on this side of it than how we've been in years past. You got to enjoy that and appreciate it, but at the same time, know there's still a lot we need to improve on, there's a lot still out there for us to do, especially on offense. That's where we're focused.

Q: (Wide receiver Kenny) Golladay talked to us and it seems like he's searching for answers. Anything you can do? Obviously, he didn't come back after the drop. Anything you can do to help him?

A: Yeah, we had a naked over to the left. I left it too far out in front of him, I got to stick that ball on him, for sure. I got to do a better job getting him the ball in some situations and making sure I'm accurate when I get it to him.

Q: 7-2, are you thinking playoffs a little bit?

A: I think we're confident. I think we're a confident group, but we'll continue to focus week to week on what we got to do. Try to go 1-0 each week. That's where we are.

Q: You came in with (defensive lineman) Dexter (Lawrence). To see him reach the level that he has right now and he seems to be dominating every week – you're probably not getting an opportunity to watch him when you're on the sideline. Was there ever any doubt in your mind that he could be the player that he is?

A: No, I wouldn't say I'm surprised at all by the level of success he's had this year. He's played really well, I think, since he's been here. This year, he probably has a couple more sacks and getting a couple more pressures, but he's been extremely consistent for us since we came in here. He's a heck of a player and hats off to him.

Thanks, so racing to the line not only gives Jones time, but Kafka too.

I assume having Kafka sitting upstairs helps with this too.
