Dolphins - 33, Patriots - 24
Q. How did it feel to get that first NFL start? When did you find out you would be trotting out there with the starters?
ROBERT JONES: It was amazing, going out there playing against a good team. Finally being able to go out there and showcase, show myself, that I'm capable to play with these guys.
And during the week I knew there was a chance I could start. But I didn't know for sure. So going on through the week I took reps. And credit to Jesse. He stuck by my side. He just kept guiding me, like he has all season, trying to help me be a better player. And game time came, it was my time to go.
Q. How do you feel you did?
ROBERT JONES: I feel like I did okay. I feel like a lot of things I still have to work on. But I just tried to go out there, play hard, be aggressive, just have fun.
Q. What's it like to see this offensive line go through their struggles all season and then get your opportunity late in the season in the season finale?
ROBERT JONES: As the season went on, I felt like we got better each game. I feel like we did a lot of good things throughout the whole season. And credit to Jesse and him being a veteran and leader in the room, made sure we all stuck together and we don't feed into the outside noise. Him and Coach Lem kept putting it in our head, we just have to trust ourselves, believe in ourselves and keep trusting our technique, listen to Coach Flo and everyone is saying we can do. We just kept doing that, kept staying down and kept working, and it paid off.
Q. What the team has been able to do in the last nine games of the season, do you think it's possible to carry momentum over to the next one?
ROBERT JONES: Next season is a long time from now. I feel like we did a lot of good things the whole season. In the second half of the season we picked a lot of things up. We got way better. We just kept playing together, staying together, just kept doing what we do. Going to next season we've just got to keep feeding on that. Just keep focusing on like the little things to help us just get better.
