Dolphins 24, Jets 0
Q. Talk about the importance of those last two series to getting the shutout. You guys seemed very excited each time you were able to prevent them from scoring.
XAVIEN HOWARD: Yeah, man, that was great. We always talk about just finishing strong and I feel like we did that.
Q. Obviously that's your fourth pick in as many games. How good are you feeling on the field and that urge to make that explosive play that changes the game?
XAVIEN HOWARD: Oh, man, I feel great, man, just coming off last year, a big injury. Just getting back to the things I've been doing and just playing ball.
Q. You lead the NFL with four interceptions; how important is it for you to lead the league in interceptions when the season is over?
XAVIEN HOWARD: To tell you the truth I wasn't even paying attention to it. I'm just happy we got a win. That's really it.
Q. On that particular interception, it looked like you knew exactly what the receiver was going to do. Can you kind of explain how you positioned yourself to be in position to make the interception on that play?
XAVIEN HOWARD: A lot of teams been giving me a lot of overs, especially in cover one, so they've been running away from me and they've been hard on me and I've been giving up a lot of overs, also. So just knowing what they're going to do to me and just undercutting and just trusting the ball is right there.
Q. Are you going to write a book on why you keep getting to the ball, how you do it?
XAVIEN HOWARD: Ball finds me, man.
