After a back-and-forth battle that saw the Seahawks come back from a 14-point deficit to beat the Falcons 26-24 on Sunday, here’s what Atlanta players had to say to the media:
QB Matt Ryan: “It’s disappointing. Obviously, we didn’t start the way we wanted to in the first half, and I thought we responded really well in the second half and continued to battle. We just didn’t (finish) the way we needed to. It’s a disappointing loss, but we played a really good football team on the road, so we’ll learn from it, get back to work and try and be better next week.”
WR Julio Jones on if he felt he was interfered with on the team’s final play: “I do. Before I took off he grabbed my right side and spun me around before I jumped up. It was just a missed call. It’s over with. It’s done, we are on to the next right now.”
Offensive tackle Ryan Schraeder: “It’s tough. It’s football, man. I mean, a couple plays didn’t go our way. We have been on the positive side of a lot of plays this year, so we just have to stick to the grindstone. We know what we can do, and we will just come back out next week and we will be ready to go on Sunday.”
Defensive tackle Ra’Shede Hagerman on the fourth quarter: “We felt the fact that we blocked the PAT, it’s going to put us in a good position and give our offense the ball. At the end of the day, we can only learn from our mistakes and get better.”
