Chiefs 21, Dolphins 14
Q. How do you feel about the way the defense performed today?
CHRISTIAN WILKINS: I mean, I thought we did some good stuff, was able to put ourselves in a position to win or played well enough to win. But that's just how football goes sometimes. It's a humbling game. You can play as well as you want, as hard as you want, as good as you need to. Especially after early when they had a couple drives there, I thought we did pretty well, and this is just definitely something to build off of. If we just watch the tape and keep improving each week we can be as good of a defense as we want to be.
Q. As a D-lineman how much does it help to have these DBs back, kind of taking away some of the quarterback reads?
CHRISTIAN WILKINS: Yeah, it's definitely huge because we've all got a piece of the puzzle. If we're all playing well and all playing at a high level, we can be as good as we want to be.
Q. A lot was made about this team against other top contenders. Where do you feel like this team is against the other top teams?
CHRISTIAN WILKINS: Really I think we've got the right formula. We've got the right guys on the team that if we keep doing the things we're doing and keep preparing how we're preparing, I think we'll be in a better position moving forward.
These are just reps just like anything else. You learn from them. Good, bad, ugly. There's games you don't play well and you lose. There's games you don't play well and you win. It's just how the league goes and how it goes.
I'm not paying attention to any narratives that are trying to be created against us. I just know what we've got on our team and know how we'll proceed moving forward.
Q. Talk about the second half shut-out; what were some things that were said at halftime to get you guys going?
CHRISTIAN WILKINS: Really nothing was said. We just made a few corrections on things that could have been improved in the first half and just kept playing hard. Guys kept fighting. I really just seen the heart of my teammates, and we were able to get a little bit of momentum going, and we just kept fighting.
Q. How important would you say the Chubb sack, fumble, recovery play was for the team?
CHRISTIAN WILKINS: That was big. It gave us some momentum, like I was saying. It was a big play by Chubb and great job by Zach falling on it, and we eventually scored off of that, so obviously that's a big play in the game.
I've had a great time here in Germany, loved the hospitality, so thank you guys for that, and go Fins.
