In a post-game powwow, Brandon Graham opened up about the intensity of suiting up once more against their divisional rivals. Straight-shooting as always, Graham laid it out, saying, “You don’t know when your play is going to come,” after their glorious 8-1 into the bye week. “That’s what I stress to the guys all the time. Just make sure you make them count. I’m gonna miss this when it’s over, but I’m gonna enjoy it too while it’s here.”
“And just to be able to get on the board (was huge). We were just trying to get off the field at the end of the day. We know we had some third and fourth downs that we wish we could have had back, but to get out of the game with a win, that’s all you really care about. I don’t care who makes the play but just make it. I’m happy to be able to make some plays in that game to help us.”
