Josh Hines-Allen talks about the Colts after the Jaguars win

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen spoke to the media after the Jaguars' 37-34 win over the Indianapolis Colts, and we were here for it all.

To listen, see above.

Jaguars rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. also spoke after the game. Below is a transcript of what he had to say.

Q: In your first win as a Jaguar?

Thomas: “Yeah, it feels great to come out here in Everbank and get our first win. It's a great feeling. I'm just happy to be part of this team and just proud of the way we went out there and fought until the end. That was a big thing for us, to come out and just finish. That’s why I’m proud of the way we fought today.”

Q: On the touchdown pass?

Thomas: “Yeah, when I saw him pull the trigger I thought Trev (QB Trevor Lawrence) threw the ball to someone who was coming up short. So I looked back and saw it in the air and thought: This can't be right. I realized they had made a mistake in their reporting and I was completely open.”

Q: If he thought he could outrun everyone on the touchdown pass?

Thomas: “Yeah, once I caught it I knew I would just turn on the jets to increase my Madden speed a little.”

Q: About his reaction to being clocked at 22 mph?

Thomas: “Yeah, that’s pretty good.”

Q: What does it mean to fight back and get this victory?

Thomas: “Like I said, that was a big focus, getting out there and just finishing. There were games where we were close but just couldn't finish. So it was a big deal for us to just come out and finish. It feels great to be able to say we did this.”

Q: On the success of RB Tank Bigsby?

Thomas: “Yes, it's great to see Tank being so successful. Once he gets going, it's a chance for the receivers to open up a little, it's just a matter of how it works together. We’re all working together, it’s great to see him having a great game.”

Q: Whether this was the type of offense we were waiting to see presented?

Thomas: “Yes, we did that in practice, that’s what we were waiting for. We knew we had to come out and keep fighting and then it would show up.”

Q: How special is it to have his family here for his first win?

Thomas: “It’s just great to have them here for every single game they get to play. It's just really special to have her here for my first win. It’s a blessing.”

Q: Is he looking forward to traveling to London?

Thomas: “Yes, I’m super excited. It's the first time I'm traveling abroad. I’m super excited.”
