Let’s go inside the post-game locker room and see some of what New York Giants players were saying Sunday after their victory over the Chicago Bears.

Eli Manning on Odell Beckham’s passing skills ...

“He can throw it. He can always throw it really well. He has done it in the past and he does it in practice. He did a good job today of going through his progressions. He went one, not open, run, not open, throw it deep. It was the old 60-yard check down. We like those.”

Nate Solder on developing a winning culture ...

“I think that’s the whole shift they’re trying to make is a winning culture and so winning games I think is doing that, but I think more than that is being a really solid team after a season that’s been so tough, number of wins we’ve had and how close we’ve lost and all those sort of things and it speaks to the resiliency of the guys, it speaks about the type of guys we have in the locker room and we just got to keep doing it and moving forward and believing in each other and doing it together.”

Saquon Barkley on his 22-yard run to help set up Aldrick Rosas’s 57-yard field goal ...

“The O-line did a great job, first and foremost, with the block in the front. My mindset is try to get out of bounds in the situation like that and try to get as close as we can for the field goal. We broke the franchise record today right, on that field goal? That’s amazing for him but that was my mindset. Try to get as much as I can and get out of bounds and preserve time and try to get points on the board before going into halftime.”

Alec Ogletree on ending the game with a defensive stop ...

“We’ve kind of been in that situation a little bit all year long where we haven’t been able to finish [games]. This game was big for us to go out there on defense and end the game the way we did. That’s big for a defense like us and just the whole team. We know that when we step out on the field, we go out there and give it our all and when you do that, the results are what you get. You can live with that.”
