Landon Collins on what his message to the team is as a leader ...

“Keep fighting,” Collins said. “Honestly, our message is keep fighting. Keep playing, keep playing hard ball. Stick to the books and stay together. That’s our message to our guys and that is what we’ve done. We all came in here, gave each other a hug, gave each other a little talking and we gonna get this grind going some kind of way.”

Olivier Vernon on how it felt being back ...

“It felt great to be back,” Vernon said. “Just got to get my legs back. Was expecting a win. It didn’t really go our way, but we just got to recover.”

Odell Beckham Jr. on showing emotions on the sideline ...

“I was trying to get myself going,” Beckham said. “I feel like some of those plays right after I was getting myself going was some of my best stuff. I was trying to get myself fired up, I did that, and it helped me. There was a lot of things that had me fired up. Like I said, it helped me bring out the energy, I don’t know a way around it but to get myself going.”

Saquon Barkley on his performance ...

“How did I feel about my performance tonight Doesn’t matter to me,” Barkley said. “We didn’t get the win. To be completely honest, don’t care. As long as we get the win, I don’t care if I went for however many yards or even if I went for 30 yards, if we won, if we got the win, I would be satisfied, but at the end of the day we didn’t so none of that matters.”

Eli Manning on his concern being 1-5 ...

“Obviously not where we want to be,” Manning said. “I’m not happy about it. I am frustrated like everyone. Obviously, all you can do is worry about the next game. That is the way football works. Watch this game, learn from it, see what we can do better, work on it and get ready to play next Monday night in Atlanta.”

Head coach Pat Shurmur on his team’s effort ...

“My guys fought,” Shurmur said. “Absolutely, everybody fought. We got beat by a good team, we didn’t score enough points, they scored way more than us. Nothing wrong with the effort, they fought hard all the way to the end.”

Alec Ogletree on what it will take to salvage the season ...

“Every man just looking in the mirror, and doing the things they say they wanted to do,” Ogletree said. “We’ve got to come together as a team, and play as one. We can’t make mistakes all over the field, because it hurts us. We got a little break here. Hopefully, everybody goes and kind of takes their mind off a little bit, but also think about the things that we need to do to turn our season around.”
