Dolphins 32, Jets 26
Q. The 27 yard-line, you guys had a time-out issue there.
ZACH SIELER: Honestly, I don't know.
Q. What did you think of Rodgers' mobility? Obviously it's not exactly what it was back in 2010, 2011, but it looked like he still had a little bit of --
ZACH SIELER: Yeah, I think at one point I might have told him he's still got a little bit of wheels, old man. I said, you're probably the only one out there older than Calais.
Respect it. Obviously at 40 something years old or whatever he is, it's not easy, so that's awesome he's out there still playing. But it was good to be able to play them and play how we did.
Q. Tua mentioned you were on the sideline, to lead that drive for Jason Sanders' tying field goal and then to win it in overtime --
ZACH SIELER: I loved it. To be able to get that toss go our way and our offense to go out there and just keep rolling was awesome. I think they had amazing momentum. Tua and them were just clicking on offense. Jonnu with that final catch was just incredible. I loved seeing that.
Q. This was the week of My Cause, My Cleats. Talk a little bit more about what you were supporting.
ZACH SIELER: Yeah, thank you. It's actually for my foundation my wife and I started about three years ago, which is getting kids outdoors and helping show just what the outdoors can be and hopefully spark a passion with youth in the local Miami area. Or more importantly we're both from Michigan and Missouri, and just show the importance of getting outside and exploring. I think sometimes we get so stuck inside and stuck on our phones or whatever that I think it really takes us back to reality, and that's one of our big passions.
Q. Zach, when you see your team perform a gritty performance like this, what does it make you think about its fighting spirit, what it's made of?
ZACH SIELER: Absolutely. I think it was an amazing game. McDaniel had a meeting earlier this week which at the time I kind of was mad because I'm like, man, I don't want to hear this anymore, but it's just the resilience of the team, and he hit the nail on the head. Today was just -- just showed all three phases, the resilience. We had issues on all three phases, and we were able to bring it back in and finish the game how we did, which was awesome. I need to tell him that was probably the best meeting now. (Laughter.)
Q. What made you mad about it?
ZACH SIELER: Nothing, it's just, man, to me, I guess I'm just -- I just want to hear, hey, what are we going to do to go win. He was right. He read the writing on the walls and he was able to say, hey, look, you guys, we're a resilient group. We're whatever we were before this week, and we just need to go out there and play our game, they're going to throw punches. I'm like, man, let's just go take it to them. He was right. It was ebbs and flows of the game, ups and downs, and to be able to go out there and finish the game like we did was incredible, and it took all three phases, starting with the offense, then to the special teams who returned it to almost the 50, offense to go put it up there, and then to have Jason kick that last field goal to tie it up, and then to go out there again on offense and go drive the whole field for a touchdown, that was incredible. Probably one of my top wins here so far.
