Rams LB Clay Matthews – Rams-Ravens Postgame Quotes – Nov. 25, 2019

(On if the team just focuses on the next game or if they look at the playoff picture)

“Oh sure. It’s obviously about the next game but at this point in the season I believe with five games left I mean you’d be a fool not to look at it and see the big picture here. We got to start winning and we got to start winning now and unfortunately, we didn’t do it. I’m not sure what the analytics say about possibly making the playoffs or whatever it is. I know that’s not even something we talked about, but it’s obviously –that’s why we play this game is to have an opportunity to play in the playoffs to have a chance to get to the Super Bowl. We got to play better next week and we need a win or else we’re going to put ourselves too far behind in a very good NFC division.”

(On how he feels his team is being 6-5)

“You know obviously I don’t think anybody envisioned us being in this situation that we’re in right now having the record that we did. I wasn’t a part of the Super Bowl team last year, but especially coming off that you figure with the addition of a few free agents and the draft that you’re going to continue to get better. But the reality is – what are we 6-5 now? We got to start winning if we really have a chance to get to the playoffs. One thing we talked about after the game is we’re just not going to let a loss like this – it all counts the same at the end of the year – divide the team. We just need to get back to work, that’s all we can do.”
