Eagles quarterback Michael Vick threw an interception at the end of Sunday’s loss to the Packers, but he wasn’t second-guessing himself afterward.
“I took a shot at the end zone,” Vick said. “I could have checked it down to the back. I got greedy and took a shot at the end zone. I didn’t throw the right ball that I wanted to and it got picked out. It was a bad way to go out, but at least I went out swinging . . . It’s hindsight now. It’s something I have to learn from. . . . I thought we were going to win the game. I had an upbeat feeling about myself. I felt like I was in control.”
Although Vick suffered an ankle injury late in the game, he said that wasn’t a factor in his underthrown ball into the end zone.
“It wasn’t that bad,” Vick said of his ankle. “I rolled it. It was nothing that was going to keep me from going back into the game.”
Vick said this was the most painful loss of his NFL career.
“This one hurt more than any of my previous seasons that I played a full season and had an opportunity to play in the playoffs,” Vick said. “I just think, I didn’t finish … I expected so much out of myself. I know in coming back and having an opportunity that I could play at a high level in this offense. It’s just disappointing to myself and my teammates that we didn’t finish the way we wanted to. I certainly felt I could do a lot of things better and I didn’t do it.”
