JJ McCarthy Emotional After Big Win, Says Victory Still Not Enough for Satisfaction
JJ McCarthy couldn’t hide his emotions after leading his team to a resounding victory, but the star quarterback made it clear that he’s still not satisfied. While he was proud of the team’s performance, McCarthy emphasized that the win was just another step in their journey, and there’s still work to be done before he feels fully content.
“Obviously, it feels great to get the win, but I’m not happy with where we are yet,” McCarthy said after the game, his voice filled with both pride and determination. “We did what we had to do to win today, but I know we can do better. This isn’t the end goal for us — we’re aiming for much bigger things.”
The win, which was a blowout against a tough opponent, saw McCarthy put up impressive numbers and demonstrate the leadership that has made him one of the top quarterbacks in the league. However, despite the impressive stats and the scoreboard, McCarthy’s drive for perfection was evident in his comments.
“There’s always room to improve,” McCarthy continued. “I didn’t play my best today. There were moments I could have been better, and we have to clean up some things before we get to where we want to be. The wins are great, but I’m not going to settle for just being good. I want to be great.”
McCarthy’s focus on improvement highlights his mindset as he continues to lead his team. While others may have been content with the dominant win, McCarthy’s unwavering commitment to self-improvement and his desire to push for excellence set him apart as a true leader.
“You can never be satisfied with where you are in this game,” he said. “If you get complacent, that’s when you stop growing. We’ve got a lot of football left to play, and I’m going to keep pushing this team to be the best we can be.”
As the season progresses, McCarthy’s refusal to rest on his laurels will undoubtedly keep the team sharp and focused on their ultimate goal — a championship. While the victory was a significant one, for McCarthy, it’s just another stepping stone toward reaching even greater heights.
Tyler Warren's hair is just one awesome feature of multi-dimensional Colts rookie tight end
Tyler Warren does it all.
That includes pulling off shoulder-length blonde hair as an NFL tight end.
The Indianapolis Colts' rookie, taken No. 14 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Penn State, is clearly special.
The hair just completes the picture.
There don't appear to be any real origin stories of the hair. Warren's early PSU pictures have him with shorter hair, so it was an in-college decision.
Once he started growing it, Warren clearly decided not to stop.
It just added to the vibe of one of the best players in the country. Penn State threw to him a ton, of course. But they also let him run the ball and even throw the ball.
The Colts had to have been thrilled when Warren made it to No. 14 in the first round. He wasn't even the first tight end chosen. The Chicago Bears took Colston Loveland at No. 10, a move that hasn't aged well so far.
Warren looks like he can be the centerpiece of Indy's passing attack for years and years to come. He's been a favorite target of Daniel Jones, and yes, Warren already has a rushing TD this season, too.
It wouldn't be shocking at all to see a few youngsters in the Indianapolis area begin growing out their hair, too. If Tyler can do it, why not them?
It's hard to pull it off the way Warren has, though. He's so impressive on the field that the flowing hair just adds to the picture. And so far, it's quite the exquisite picture.
