Minnesota Vikings 28, New Orleans Saints 25
Q. Felt like you had the hot hand so to speak in the second half what did you say?
LATAVIUS MURRAY: Just trying to get positive yards, hit the hole. Just fall forward, try to gain some momentum.
Q. How did it feel just to be back out there?
LATAVIUS MURRAY: Honestly just a blessing, honestly, just through weeks ago, sitting at home, uncertain about my NFL year career and so it just was a blessing to be out there honestly. Had a lot of fun and you know, just wish we could have finished it off with a win.
Q. What did you see from the kick from your vantage point?
LATAVIUS MURRAY: It looked good and then I seen it hit the pole and hoping it hit that, it bounced in. I kind of seen that it had fell short, yeah.
Q. What's the team's confidence level in Wil in a moment like that?
LATAVIUS MURRAY: Very confident. I mean, he obviously was able to put the one in right before that.
So I think, you know, I was on the other side of one of those last year with Tug hitting the uprights and it bouncing in. This time, you know, it didn't bounce in. So we've got all the confident in the world in him.
Q. What did you think of Andy Dalton's play today?
LATAVIUS MURRAY: I thought he played good. I thought he played with poise. He's done it for a long time as well. You know, we believe in him. We know what he's capable of, and I thought he played well.
Q. Dennis said the team is close to getting this thing back on track, what do you think of where you are at?
LATAVIUS MURRAY: We've done things and then we've done things that have hurt us. I think we just have to continue to work and clean those things up and don't beat ourselves and I think we'll be a hard team to beat.
Q. You spoke about how nice it was to get back into action but what about returning to this team? How has that been for you so far?
LATAVIUS MURRAY: It's been great. Obviously I'm familiar with the system, familiar with everybody, ask so kind of honestly felt like I didn't leave.
So just again, like I said a few weeks ago when I got here, I'm just happy they gave me the opportunity. You know, look forward to the future.
Q. How big was it that your first game back against the Vikings?
LATAVIUS MURRAY: The Vikings, yeah. It's just crazy. Honestly a familiar team. It's a lot of fun being able to go out there and compete with some guys you know on the other side of the ball. So again, I'm just happy to be back out here and happy to get back to work so we can go on a run here.
