Colts 10, Patriots 6
Q. How do you sum up the way this one ended for you guys?
HUNTER HENRY: It's just tough, man. It's just not good enough in any aspect. Yeah, we're going into a bye here, and we've got a lot to improve on. We've got to get a lot better. It's not good enough in any aspect.
Q. Hunter, going into the bye 2-8, how do you perceive the future of the Patriots the rest of the season, and going into the Giants --
HUNTER HENRY: Yeah, I'm not as much worried on that right now. We're not where we want to be at all. I'm going to tell you one thing, I'm going to go out there and compete every single week, no matter what the record is, no matter what's going on. I know all those guys in that locker room are going to go do the same. That's our mindset is just take it week by week, and we're going to go out there and compete no matter what.
Q. What did you think of the decision to pull Mac Jones from the game?
HUNTER HENRY: I don't make all those decisions. I think you'll have to ask Coach about that one.
Q. Can you pinpoint what the issues seem to be for the offense?
HUNTER HENRY: Obviously not finishing in the red zone, not great situational football, not good enough on 3rd down. Obviously I think the positive was we ran the football really well. I think everybody in the entire stadium, maybe whoever was watching the game, probably knew we were running the football and we were still able to run the football. That's probably the one positive we can take from it.
But just not able to finish enough in the red zone and score enough points, obviously. Pretty bad on our part. That's what we're called to do is score points, and we didn't score enough.
Q. Do you still have faith in Mac Jones?
HUNTER HENRY: Yeah, we've put a lot of work in, so still have faith.
Q. Hunter, you guys going back to the Washington game, it's now 17 consecutive drives without a touchdown. Have you ever had a stretch like that in your career, and does it become something mentally that you guys can be aware of that?
HUNTER HENRY: I have no idea. That's a stat. No.
Q. When Mac knew he was coming out, it looked like he went and fist bumped the entire offense on the sideline. What was his message to you guys?
HUNTER HENRY: Yeah, he's a leader, just encouraging. We had a chance to go win it, weren't able to do it, so just encouraging us to go out there and finish the game. But we obviously weren't able to do it.
