Postgame – at Buffalo

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (as transcribed by the Buffalo Bills)

Q: Jay, what is it like to go over 200 yards for a third time this season?

A: I feel like it was a lot tougher today, but it was good. From the start of the whistle, I felt like the o-line, we were on it again, creating lanes and it was just about running hard through the whole game and finishing strong.

Q: Tell us about what you saw on the 57-yard overtime run?

A: Patience. You got to be patient; BA (Branden Albert) did a great job sealing the edge.

Q: Dion (Sims), are you reading him?

Q: Yeah, so it’s one of those plays where BA, if he flashes across he does a seal block, then it’s just about finding the right lane, finding the right cutback lane and then just hitting the gap.

Q: Are you bouncing it outside for sure on there?

A: No, it depends where it hits.

Q: You’ve gone over 200 twice now against the Bills, why do you own these guys?

A: I don’t know. I just feel like we came up today, I feel like a lot of times, too, we could have been running the ball a lot better, so today, this whole week of practice we put a premium on coming off the ball fast and running harder, just finishing blocks, and that was the sum of it today and we were able to get over 200.

Q: It seemed to us that there was something a little extra personal between these two teams; did it have that feeling in the week leading up?

A: Yeah, I mean it’s a division rival game, a December game, a lot is on the line so tensions were high today. We knew that they were going to give us their best shot, their gonna get our best shot and it was gonna be a physical game. That’s what it was today.

Q: What was your mindset on the touchdown?

A: One of their defenders was able to get in the backfield, but when you get that close to the end zone, you got to score. For me personally, I hadn’t scored in a couple weeks so I was just really determined to get in the end zone.

Q: You killed them on cutbacks in the first game, it seemed like today you were determined to press the edge, hit it hard. Was that a part of the game plan?

A: Every play that we run, the way those runs are, you can either go outside or hit the cutback, it all depends on what the defense gives you. You got to take what you get, hit your lanes, stay on your landmark, so today, they wanted to make sure we weren’t cutting it back, so you just stay with your reads, stay with your landmark.
