Carolina Panthers 20, New York Giants 17
Q. What did it feel like --
CHUBA HUBBARD: Definitely a blessing. I mean, more than anything, I just want to win. So you know, to win in that fashion obviously was a little crazy at the end but to get two in a row with my guys feels good, especially in Munich.
Q. You guys have surpassed last year's win total at ten games. Where do you think this team is going?
CHUBA HUBBARD: Upwards. I've been saying it week-in and week-out, just keep trusting the process. May not show Week 1, week two or week three, but it's going to show up eventually and we've just seen the product of it.
Q. Can you put this week into perspective, began with what you called a life-changing contract and the trip over here and a career rushing day?
CHUBA HUBBARD: Just God. God's good. I can't think Him enough. I can't thank all the people like I said earlier that has helped me get to this point. I'm just going to keep putting my faith in God and keep working hard and just hoping for the best.
Q. Chuba, a few years Bayern Munich changed the turf to hybrid. What did you think?
CHUBA HUBBARD: I'll be honest, the grass wasn't too bad. It was slick and we had to wear seven studs, which obviously isn't that big of a deal. A slight change, but overall, not good. I kind of buckled my knee earlier and I slipped out, so I think it actually saved me. So I'm going to say thanks for that.
Q. Did you think the play with the fumble -- are you okay?
CHUBA HUBBARD: God. That you feel thankful. Obviously could have been a lot worse. I've actually had that happen a few times over the last few years with my knee dislocates a little bit if it goes back. Simple as just God. I can't really say much about the tackle.
Q. Today you had really good -- what makes you better in the last couple of years, and is there anything else you would like to get better for the future?
CHUBA HUBBARD: Just staying consistent and working hard. I always use the analogy, just keep chopping at the tree till it falls down. I just tell myself, keep working, keep working until it shows up. I'm always trying to get better at every part of my game. So I can't really specify on one specific thing, but I'm just going to keep trying to be my best for my team.
Q. We know how you work. What's your process like during a bye week? Do you allow yourself to recover and chill out?
CHUBA HUBBARD: It's definitely going to be a workweek. I also have to learn to just relax and take care of my body so I can finish the season strong.
That's the part that I'm going to try to make sure I take some rest and get off my feet. But mentally I'm still going to attack it. We have the Chiefs, so it's big game, and obviously want to go three in a row.
Q. Did you know there was not JUGS machine here for the pregame workout?
CHUBA HUBBARD: Well, my guys told me before, and I wasn't too happy to be honest. But we improvised and made it work. That's what happens, flying internationally. Not everything is going to go your way. But still be all right.
Q. The atmosphere here, playing "Country Roads," doing all kind of stuff with frisbees and paper airplanes. What did you think of the whole vibe?
CHUBA HUBBARD: It was a good vibe, it was a real good vibe, yeah, from the singing, they were real loud the whole game. That's something you can appreciate. The energy was just always high. So it was definitely a fun atmosphere.
Q. Can you see anything of Munich?
CHUBA HUBBARD: Unfortunately we were only here like 72 hours. So I just kind of stick to my process and try to get my body right for the game.
I've been to Munich before, though. So, great city. I love it. People are really nice, as well. So hopefully I can comeback soon but yeah, these last few days are just kind of like, get my body right.
Q. How does it feel?
CHUBA HUBBARD: Yeah, as I said earlier, they weren't too bad. Obviously they were a little slick in my opinion, but when you put the seven studs in, you were pretty good. So not really any complaints too much there.
Q. Having a European base for players to go to the NFL, a lot were here today. What advice do you have for those players if they want to make it into the NFL?
CHUBA HUBBARD: I'm from Canada, so international, but obviously not as far.
Q. Sorry.
CHUBA HUBBARD: No, it's all good. But to any kid that aspires to be in the NFL, I tell them work hard and trust yourself ask don't let anybody tell you any different that you can't make it. If you believe in something, go all the way for it, and then if it doesn't work out, that just wasn't in your plan.
So just say, work hard and trust God and let it all come together.
Q. After having a career night tonight, what is something that you're proud of yourself for coming all the way over here to Germany and playing in a different time zone and being able to dominate like you did today?
CHUBA HUBBARD: Just proud of the team and everybody honestly. Our training staff, nutritionist, everybody, just kind of getting us acclimated. They put together a good plan so we got a quick turnover and we're still able to recover and do all that. I attribute that to them. For me, I just kind of have the same mindset as always. Just work hard, give it your all and let it all come together.
