Postgame Presser


Dolphine 17, Texans 9

Q. Jevon, how are you guys feeling especially after?

JEVON HOLLAND: It felt great, man. Really feeling good. I'm going to enjoy this. I know we have a short week, but I'm going to enjoy this tonight for real. We needed that.

Q. How are you going to celebrate this one?

JEVON HOLLAND: It's not for the public. I'm going to keep that to myself. Good question, though.

Q. What was the key to the interception in the end zone?

JEVON HOLLAND: Just reading Tyrod. He is a great quarterback, so all week I've been preparing trying to get the next step, and I read my keys and just executed, and so Coach always said when splash plays happen, opportunity meets execution, and that's what happened. Yes, sir.

Q. You looked like you were waiting for the hands to grab you, and --

JEVON HOLLAND: No, man. I told my homeboy on the sideline. I told Brandon Jones, when I get that first pick, I'm going to try that electric slide. I was trying to, but everybody was right there. Then I just seen the fans, and somebody was, like, come on, so I just -- forget it, I'm going to just jump. I thought they were going to grab me. I think somebody spilled beer on me, honestly. I'm not going to lie. It was fun.

Q. On the third down pressure that forced an incompletion, were you kind of lined up on the edge there. How would you describe the aggressiveness approach that the team had today?

JEVON HOLLAND: Man, we're going to shoot them. We're going to go at them. That's what the mentality was. The Bills game we were bringing the pressure, and that's what our game plan was basically this game, and it worked out for us. Yeah, that's what it was.

Q. How big is getting a win in this environment on a short week, especially with the short turnaround just for the confidence in the locker room?

JEVON HOLLAND: It's huge. It's added fuel to us, for real. We really needed that. It's a lot of positivity in the locker room. We are sticking together throughout that entire streak, but right now energy is high, positivity is high, and so it really feels good. It really does.

Q. What was the key to having the success in the Red Zone that you guys had?

JEVON HOLLAND: Just executing what our coaches planned for us during the week. It's as simple as that. Really is. Just execute.

Q. Now that it's over, what was the last two months like for the team not --

JEVON HOLLAND: It was a grind. It did bring us together. You know, you really have to look to each other when you are trying to fight through a losing streak like that, and I think because of it, you know, we're closer. We understand that we're trying to do something here, and everybody has bought in, definitely.

Q. Thank you.
