Dolphins - 33, Patriots - 24
Q. Jaelan, I know it's still fresh, the end of your rookie season, but how much pride do you take to being able to close this out the way you all did, winning, what is this eight of your last nine games after starting 1-7?
JAELAN PHILLIPS: It's everything to us. That just shows who we are as men and who we are as a team. That's the story of our season. It's just perseverance. We had that run, where 7-0, that's not an easy thing to come back from.
But we always stuck together and fought and played for each other. And ultimately it's the best way we could have ended off the season. Obviously, wanted to go to the playoffs but I think we made the most with what we had.
Q. From a rookie year standpoint, eight and a half sacks. Do you look back and say this is what I was hoping for at least from an individual production standpoint?
JAELAN PHILLIPS: Frankly, I should have had more. So never satisfied. Really not happy at all. But ultimately all that matters is that I feel like I grew as a player, as a player in the system. And ultimately coming into the season next year I'm just going to do everything I can to make sure I earn all the trust that I need to, just come in and improve in all aspects of my game.
