(on how well the defense has been playing in recent weeks)
It's been big. I think the Bye Week helped us a lot just getting guys healthy and getting guys back. That's been big, and for guys playing their part. Everybody understanding their role and what's at stake. We just want to set the tone as a defense, for the whole game.
(on his role and being more involved this year)
It's all a team effort, whether I'm playing or not playing. I'm excited to win. My whole life I've been part of championship teams and we have all the keys to be a championship team. So, it's always good to get a championship and I'm excited for the guys.\
(on the defense keeping Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from having open passing windows)
Yes, we knew he liked to get the ball out quick. All week we knew they would be an RPO team, so we made sure the guys up front stopped the run. We wanted to be tight on their receivers all week and we knew he was going to float some passes high. So, we had our chances today. We just have to make them and come down with them.
(on winning the AFC South and being the number one seed)
It feels great to have that. We are excited to have that seed and we just have to finish the job. One more game to clinch that spot, so come back next week and I'll let you know how I feel to have it.
(on if the Titans were especially motivated to face an opponent on a seven-game winning streak)
Not at all. This is the NFL. We have to show up every week, no matter the streak. We had a streak and came across a team and lost. Streaks happen. We can't let that bother us or affect us in any kind of way. We knew they were going to come in with their all, fighting for a playoff spot just like us. And we did a good job handling our business.
