Jay Gruden, postgame: ‘The only thing that can really back up what I’m saying is victories’

Quotes from Coach Jay Gruden’s postgame news conference

On injuries:
Perry Riley has a calf strain. We’ll know more about him tomorrow. [Morgan] Moses went back in. He had a little tweak there in his MCL but he’s okay.

On the importance of a home win:
It’s important. First of all, it’s game one where we didn’t feel like things were slipping away. But more importantly, it’s the second home game. To go 0-2 to start the season at home is tough to overcome. We have to take advantage of our home crowd, keep them in the game like they were today.
