Patriots RB Ridley disgusted by fumbles

New England Patriots running back Stevan Ridley found himself on the bench for much of the game against Denver on Sunday night thanks to an early lost fumble.

Ridley spoke to the Boston Herald after the game and his increasing frustration with turnovers was evident. 

“First of all, this night is about the team and how we pulled it out,” Ridley said. “We fought back, being down 24. For me, it’s almost disgusting — consecutive weeks, and personally as a player, my team deserves better. I come in. I work and bust my ass every day to come in here and not make the same mistakes. To have the same mistakes happen, there’s something I’ve got to do different, I’ve got to do better."

Ridley has now lost a fumble in three straight games and four overall for the season.

"As a competitor, all I can do is come in here and keep working. I’m not settling for anything less, and I’ve got to be there for my team when they call me. For me, I’m not going to focus on what I did or didn’t do. I’m just happy that we were able to come through and get this win tonight. That said a lot about this team and how hard we fought.”
