Harris won’t use fatigue as an excuse, though.
“When we’re on the field, it’s about performing well, performing at a high level,” Harris said. “So regardless of the amount of time on the field, our goal is to go out there and execute and try to get off the field [by giving] the ball back to the offense.”
Is there an immediate takeaway from Monday night’s loss before reviewing the tape?
“Obviously emotionally, just staying together,” Harris said. “Continue to believe in one another, continue to believe in yourself, and then just getting ready to work. Coming back, getting your body ready to go, getting on the film, looking to see where you can improve. But the most part is just keeping the right mindset.”
Several players emphasized the importance of moving on from the tough outing and turning the page to Week 17, when the Vikings will host the Bears in the regular-season finale.
But Kendricks said there’s also value in experiencing the sour taste.
“Honestly, I think today and tomorrow, we should let it sting a little bit. We’ve gotta let it sting,” he said. “We’ve gotta know what we did wrong – watch the film, make corrections, things like that, but we should definitely let it sting.
“And then we should let it go after 24 hours or so and get back to work,” Kendricks continued. “We’re blessed to be able to play again. We’ve worked hard all season, and we’ve put ourselves in this position, but we’ve gotta play better in these games, for sure.”
