New York Giants rookie right tackle Justin Pugh has insisted that his side will fight to the end of the season, despite having already been eliminated from playoff contention.
The Giants beat the Detroit Lions 23-20 in their previous game, and Pugh said that it was important to end the season strongly to provide a platform for next year.
"I mean, it's still a job at the end of the day," Pugh told the Giants' official website. "You have to go out there and fight with your teammates and fight for the fans. There's no quit in these guys.
"I think that would just be a negative thing, to say that we quit or we gave up on the season. That's not something you want going into this off-season and trying to build off. So I don't think there's ever been quit in this team or anyone's ever giving up.
"Coach Tom Coughlin's real big on that, so I think we've done a good job of going out there and fighting week in and week out and we're just going to continue to do that next week."
The Giants finish their season with a home clash against the Washington Redskins.
