Michael Vick has said that his Philadelphia Eagles teammates did not try hard enough in their game against the New York Giants on Sunday.

The Eagles head coach Andy Reid was fired following the 42-7 defeat.

The quarterback told CSN Philadelphia: "Until you get guys who are willing to better themselves week in and week out and want to win, you're not going to win and I haven't played with guys like that.

"It's unfortunate for Coach things turned out the way they are. It could have been a lot better. This locker room could have dictated that.

"I give 110% effort. My body is scarred up all year. I'm hurt, I'm bruised, get up after every hit and still try and fight and push. I do that for my coaches. I do that for my teammates. And I would expect the same thing in return."

Vick missed several games this season after sustaining a concussion.
