S Antonio Johnson

(On what it's like to be division champions) "My first time, so I've never felt this feeling. It's a great feeling. We worked hard all year to get to this point. We knew the assignment, come out here, dominate and show the world what the playoff's first round is going to look like when we get to there, you know what I'm saying? So, we just came out here and just executed at a high level today. That's it."

(On if he knew he was going to score right after his interception) "Oh, man. I know every time I catch the ball, I think I've got the end zone, but this time it came to reality. I looked to my left, there was a whole bunch of people. I looked right, it was nothing but linemen. I was like, 'Oh yeah, my chance is over there.' I took off. Once I turned the corner, I knew I had it."

(On what this season has been like for him including his five interceptions) "It means a lot, you know what I'm saying? All glory to God. I just stay down, work hard every day. And every time I get an opportunity, I just try to take advantage of it. This year, I've just been put in a good position, just go out there, make the plays that come to me, just trust my teammates, my teammates trusting me and we've been making plays all year round, all levels on the offense and defense. So, it's just a testimony of just the team."

(On if he feels the Jaguars can improve even more) "Oh, a thousand percent. There's always room for improvement. We're going to go back as soon as we get the tape, try to clean up the mistakes that we had today and get ready for next week."

(On how good the Jaguars are playing) "Oh, man. And that's what it's always supposed to look like. We know what it's—we gave a standard for ourselves, and we've just been trying to just keep up to that same standard each week. Don't try to do anything more, do anything less, just keep coming in, keep the same preparation and come out on Sundays and do what we do."

(On the locker room celebration) "Oh man, it was crazy. Oh, they kind of cleaned it up.

Water dripping from the ceilings and it was just a great emotional moment for everybody

because for Coach [Head Coach Liam Coen], it was his first time being a head coach, and then to come and win the division, that's big for him. And then, as an organization, we haven't won the division, I think, since '22. So, we had a few down years, but just come in, the front office, they did a good job of getting the right people in for it to be this opportunity for us."

(On if it's crazy to win the division a year after a tough 2024 season) "A thousand percent. Last year wasn't the best year for us, but like I said, they brought the right coaching staff in, the right front office to get the right players here to put in the pieces, and we've got the guys and it's us versus everybody else."

(On if he will pay attention to the 4:25 p.m. games for the Jaguars' potential playoff seed) "Oh no, yeah, we watch it. Just to see where we get seeded for the playoffs. I forgot who we've got to watch. I think it's, yeah, the Broncos. So, we're going to watch that game just to see where they seed us. Just going to hope for the best."

(On if the Jaguars will be watching those games together) "Yeah, we'll probably just be at the crib. Coach said they're going to let us know after the game to see what the schedule is going to be like for the rest of the week. So, we're just going to probably just watch. Some people might watch it together, but for the most part, I think, everybody is going to be at

home."
