Falcons - 30, Dolphins - 28
Q. Take us through the touchdown play (Off mic). What was the defense there? What broke down?
JEVON HOLLAND: It's kind of a tough situation. The defense that we're in, it's just a play that we miscommunicated on. It happens, but we needed capitalize on that, and so we're back to the drawing board and be better next week.
Q. On the one pass to Pitts at the end there on the sideline, you and X were all over him. You took a good shot at him. He still held on. What can you say about how tough this guy is and how hard it is to separate him and the ball?
JEVON HOLLAND: Yeah. Kyle is a hell of a player. That's one of my good friends. He is a ballplayer. You saw that out there. He is a tough guy. Grit. You saw that in college, so the NFL is the best of the best. That's why he is out there, he is playing. Yeah.
Q. (Off mic) Second week of losing a game on the field goal. Is that demoralizing to the locker room and extra tough on you guys?
JEVON HOLLAND: It's tough. You're right there, and then a field goal separated it. Yeah, it's tough, but we got to stick together as a team, come back ready next week. We're grown, so we got to make grown man decisions, so, yeah.
Q. You guys take the lead. You know that Matt Ryan has time, and like you just mentioned about Kyle, and he is going to be looking for Kyle a lot. Just elaborate more, what is it? Did you foresee this kind of success he would have in this league? I know he came in as very, very highly rated, and what actually makes him so difficult as a cover?
JEVON HOLLAND: I would say Kyle is a big athletic tight end, adds a mismatch to the smaller corners. Not necessarily the smaller corners. He is, like, 6'5", 248. He is a big guy with athletic ability, and he can go up and get the ball. Pair that with Matt Ryan, who is a really great quarterback. It's a dangerous combination. You saw that out there, and that's a great team. That's a good team. They went out there and capitalized on the opportunities that they had, and they came out with the W. That's what it is. Game of inches. That's what football is.
Q. Can you walk us through that hit you put on Calvin Ridley to draw the ball loose?
JEVON HOLLAND: Our coaches works on something called shot find the angle. Any time there's a post or anything like that, now route, you have one opportunity to make the tackle. If not, you know, they can score a touchdown, what not, get a first down. I just went through my keys like we do every day, and executed what our coach taught me in practice. That's basically what it is. You all have a good night.
