Buccaneers 21, Seahawks 16
Q. What do you think about the people in Germany?
RACHAAD WHITE: I thought it was very fun. I thought they was in tune with the game. We loved the energy. Like Dev just said, regardless if they was booing, who they were going for, we just loved the energy. We love fans being in tune, so it was good. It was electric out there.
Q. (Indiscernible).
RACHAAD WHITE: I mean, I feel great. Blessed really to get win. That was a big thing for me. We're just trying to do anything we can to get the win. It was fun out there. I feel like I did good. Some things I could have did better, but we'll see on film.
Q. This is probably the most carries you'd had since college; how much did that help you get into a rhythm? Some of the bigger runs came later in the game?
RACHAAD WHITE: Yeah, that's a big thing, obviously, especially when you're getting carries back-to-back, things like that, you get in a rhythm. You get in a groove. So that helped out a lot.
Also obviously my offensive line, everybody was just on point today. We really love to see it, and Coach was dialing it up.
Q. You're getting a lot of feedback on social media; the stutter step, were you actually trying to set him up to do that stiff arm and throw him away?
RACHAAD WHITE: I was setting him up for something, and the stiff arm just happened. It just was a reaction. Playing running back, you've got to react a lot, so I was stutter stepping setting him up for something, and he just bit, and he did a good job of just staying there and not letting me break the big run. I just wanted to set an example.
Q. When did you know you were going to start the game?
RACHAAD WHITE: I'd say some day this week. It was tough with Lenny might not be able to have a -- not getting his passport until late, so I would say it was some day this week, but yeah.
Q. And they stuck with the plan even when you got over here?
RACHAAD WHITE: Yeah, they just wanted to stick with the plan, stick with it, and I was grateful for it.
Q. Do you have any idea what the plan is going forward?
RACHAAD WHITE: No. Man, I may not even be concerned. Those things are out of my control. Whatever, like I said, my role, Coach wants me to do, I'm blessed to do it.
Q. On the last drive when you guys were trying to close it out, you had a big run, what did that mean to be able to close the door?
RACHAAD WHITE: It meant great. We knew the mentality we wanted to have coming back out there, and obviously I loved it. My mentality was I knew Coach was going to run the ball, put the ball in my hands and I was telling myself, let's go finish this game out. The leaders, Chris and Mike and all them, we rallied together in the O-line and we was all behind it.
