No NFL player was more heavily scrutinized in the media last week than Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss, who was ripped in some corners for dogging it on the field, while defended in other corners as having played a good game Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
Today Moss was much more involved in the Patriots’ offense in the win over the Buffalo Bills, and after his five-catch, 70-yard, one-touchdown effort, he told the assembled reporters it was time for them to let him be the one to talk.
“You did y’alls talkin’ now lemme do mine,” Moss said, per Danny Picard of CSNNE.com. “It’s been really a tough couple weeks. You move on, that’s the nature of the game. I’m happy that we got this victory. I appreciate all the support from my true fans, the players, the coaches, my family and loved ones.
“I’ve been in this league 12 years man, and I’ve been through a lot. And these shoulders that I have on my body, you can put the earth on it. So, just to let you know, I bounce back. I appreciate it.”
With that, Moss walked off without taking any questions.
