As Matt Judon replaced J.C. Jackson at the Patriots‘ postgame podium to talk about the defense and their shutout against the Falcons on Thursday, he bellowed a greeting to the media.
“What’s up gang?” an exuberant Judon said. “Sheesh.”
Judon had good reason for his enthusiasm. The outside linebacker had just helped the Patriots claim a 25-0 victory over the Falcons — the Patriots’ fifth win in a row, boosting their record to 7-4.
Meanwhile, after one question, a reporter noted that Judon now has a career-high in sacks at 10.5 with six games remaining.
