The job is not done for Tucker Kraft and the Green Bay Packers even after securing a playoff ticket with an incredible 34-0 crushing of the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau Field in Week 16 of the 2024 NFL regular season. Kraft surely knows better than to take his feet off the gas amid the Packers’ surgery.
“Well, we also know the season’s not over yet,” Kraft said during a postgame interview with Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network following the Saints takedown.
“We got some we got some football to play ahead of us and it’s important that we come back next week. But we get back up to the drawing board, make sure we’re executing at a high level the rest of [the] season. But I mean that means a lot because last year we weren’t in this position you know, we had that we had to win out. It’s important that we just focus on what’s ahead too,” added Kraft.
That mindset from Kraft has earned him respect from NFL and Packers fans online.
“Kraft wants to play another 4 quarters tomorrow,” a fan said about Kraft’s take.
“Kraft is that dude,” another impressed commenter shared.
Via a different comment: “Buddy is a fan favorite”
“Great win for the Packers and an impressive mindset from Tucker Kraft,” another X user chimed in.
