Falcons 27, Jets 20
THE MODERATOR: Jaylinn Hawkins.
Q. Can you discuss the overall play of the defense. How do you feel the unit played today with so many guys stepping up?
JAYLINN HAWKINS: Man, it felt awesome just being out there with the guys, man. I felt we handled our 1-11. Started early this week in practice. Everybody went out there and executed practice hard.
Details was a big thing. Coach put heavy emphasis on details this week. We all just listened. Having the older guys, even though Erik is out, Erik is still a great leader, help us out on the back end. He's a great leader as well. We all just held each other accountable. The outcome is the outcome.
Q. (No microphone.)
JAYLINN HAWKINS: Man, just a great collective effort. Good rush for one. I got to thank the guys up front because they do their stuff.
Then A.J. had a great reroute on a receiver, which was nice. Helped me out. Got the quarterback. Just trusted my instincts and did my job.
Q. Richie and Darren, both guys are rookies, now they have to play a lot.
JAYLINN HAWKINS: They stepped up, good. Put some good things on tape. I trust them. They my dogs, man. They work hard. Like I said, it all started in practice. They had a good week of practice as well. Very detailed. They pushed themselves.
Q. Going into the bye...
JAYLINN HAWKINS: It will be a great flight back, man. That's a long-ass flight. Take the W (laughter).
It's good coming home with a dub. Still have work to do. Enjoy today, Monday come back and watch the film, make some corrections and off to the next.
Q. Nice to see you wear your Tottenham jersey. How was the stadium?
JAYLINN HAWKINS: 15 out of 10. The stadium was crazy. I was like, Whoa. Didn't even expect it to be that big, that many fans, man. The crowd was just great. The opening ceremony was great. Everything was just like very dope. Probably one of the best stadiums I played in besides the home stadium, our crib.
It was an awesome stadium, good experience, great experience.
