Falcons – 30, Dolphins – 28
Q. You guys really put up a fight there at the end.
MIKE GESICKI: Morale is still high. We're very close. I know, you know, people will be, like, are you sure you were that close? Yeah, we're that close. We've had a couple of games now that have come down to the wire, and sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way, so just got to keep going, man.
Q. What was Tua like in the huddle? There was a sequence when you got to take away and then he threw the interception. Things could have totally unravelled then, but he brought you guys back. What was he like as this was --
MIKE GESICKI: Yeah, he is the same guy. Never gets too high, never gets too low. He is confident. He knows what he is supposed to do. He goes out there and executes at a high level. I can't say enough good things about him. I love playing with him and love having him back there, and bounce back great, played a hell of a game. Played tough. You can go on and on.
Q. What's the background, if you can, on the third and 15 play that helped set up the go ahead touchdown?
MIKE GESICKI: They just played that deep zone coverage. You got to read your guy who is covering the zone that you are running to. My guy kind of jumped outside. I jumped in. Gave two of my hands. Gave a great ball on me. I got it and jumped forward, got a first down. That was pretty much it.
Q. How much do you watch fellow tight ends around the league, and if you do, I'm sure the guy in Atlanta is the one you watch. What makes him what he is right now?
MIKE GESICKI: During the season, I don't really watch a lot of other guys unless watching film for the opponent, but, I mean, that dude's play speaks for itself. I think he is in his sixth or seventh game, and he is out there making plays like he is, so you go the to tip your hat to him. He obviously -- he knows how good he can be, and you can't say enough good things about him either.
Appreciate it.
