"'If you don't show up ready to go, and you don't do the things that are important to winning, you don't play complementary [football] and you take a nap, then you lose,' Vrabel said simply of his team's ongoing need to remain focused. 'That was not on the top of my list. It was just trying to get down here this morning,' Vrabel explained. 'Probably gone today,' he added of the mustache."
""I just appreciate how they came out," Vrabel said of his defense. "They were aggressive. It'd been a while since we'd played, and it just was a long week. We talked about attacking, and [being] aggressive, and saying, 'Hey, if they're going to run the quarterback, or they're going to run a gadget play, it's hard to scheme these gadget plays up. Sometimes the best answer is violence,' and some of those guys chose that, and it was good to see.""
New England defeated the Giants 33-15 to extend a 10-game winning streak while avoiding a potential trap game. Mike Vrabel emphasized the team's need to remain focused and warned that failing to play complementary football leads to losses. Vrabel participated in Movember charity efforts, wore My Cause My Cleats shoes referencing his mustache, and said he would probably shave the mustache soon. He praised the defense for aggressive, physical play with multiple legal hits on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, noting an emphasis on attacking and sometimes answering gadget plays with force.
