Miami Dolphins - 22, New England Patriots - 12
Q. There was a report that you promised your teammates you would get a hundred yards today in honor of your grandmother. Is any of that correct?
SALVON AHMED: No, I don't know where that came from. But I just went out there and tried to do my best and they were able to go out there and make things work and I just followed behind them.
The O-line was doing great things and the receivers were blocking down field and so it was fun to be a part of that.
Q. This has got to be a hugely trying year for you up and down with injuries and then when you're in the game, you've had an impact. How rewarding was it for you today? You're the first Dolphins running back in two years to go over a hundred yards.
SALVON AHMED: Oh, it was just fun to be a part of. Fun to be a part of a win. This is a big win for us and our team and we work hard for this. So I'm just happy to be a part of it, be a part of this organization.
Q. You go over a hundred yards. Are you then rooting for Matt to also get to a hundred-yard mark? He almost hit it at 86?
SALVON AHMED: Oh, yeah, the more the better. We want all the running backs to hit a hundred yards if they can. So we're all our biggest support in that room. We all want each other to go out there and do whatever we can. We all need help. We can't be in there every play.
So guys like Matt, he stepped up and he did his thing and I'm not surprised by it. We all know what Matt can do, so I was really happy for him as well.
Q. I wanted to give you an opportunity to shout out the offensive line and helping you with the run blocking.
SALVON AHMED: Absolutely, man, I appreciate the O-line. Those guys, they keep me going. They make it easy on me. They get pushed down the field and all I got to do is follow behind some big dudes. So shout out to them. Getting a W is not possible without the O-line, so that's the most important right there.
Q. What did you feel would have to happen today in order for you and the team to have a lot of success rushing the football and what did come true?
SALVON AHMED: I think it just came down to executing. I think that's what it comes down to every week. You just got to execute what the play's called and go out there and do that all week. We practice hard as a team and just kind of go out there and execute. That's what we expect.
Q. If I could just real quick confirm the thing about the grandma. You said that's not true? Is that not true at all?
SALVON AHMED: My grandma, she's doing good now. But yeah, that's all I'll say about that. She's doing good now. But, yeah.
