"For 40 minutes of that game, we were the better team. Everyone is pulling the rope together. Winning is development," emphasized John Gruden in response to the team's performance.
McNeil expressed shock at his wrist injury, stating, 'I didn’t think anything of it...I was telling the coaching staff I’m fine.' Despite feeling little pain at the time, he now faces a likely end to his season due to a small fracture, with recovery time set at four to six weeks. He laments not being able to contribute further in a competitive playoff run, highlighting the importance of teamwork and camaraderie in the Mets' pursuit.
