Teams across the league will be required on Tuesday to reduce their active rosters to 53, which means McGlothern, who had three tackles on the day, and others vying for spots had a final chance Saturday to make their case.
“I’ve been just going out there, taking it day by day and making sure I do every little thing right,” McGlothern said. “Just learn the playbook and ask the veterans for help.
“I’m just making sure I put my body on the line for this team, making sure the defense comes together [to make] stops,” he later added. “We needed them stops. Those were stops I needed to make. This is an opportunity for me to show my ability and be able to put myself in a position to be on this roster. So every time I go out there, I just try to make the most of it and help my teammates.”
Andre Carter II, whom Minnesota signed last year as an undrafted rookie, made an impact a couple of times, including with a strip sack of McKee on the first play of the second half. Carter took the quarterback down for a loss of 5 yards and dislodged the football, which was then recovered by James Lynch.
“It was a good feeling,” Carter said. “We got off the field as a defense, and that’s our goal when we get on the field.
“I think it was everybody do their 1/11th – doing their job and doing what the coaches tell them,” he added. “They gave us a great plan, and if we go out and execute, the results will [speak for themselves].”
