S Jevon Holland

Q: Jevon, how are you guys feeling and you personally after a home win like that ending the streak and personally for you getting that first interception? How’d that feel?

JEVON HOLLAND: It felt great, man. Felt great. We’re really feeling good. I’m going to enjoy this. I know we have a short week, but I’m going to enjoy this tonight for real. We needed that.

Q: How are you going to celebrate this one?

JEVON HOLLAND: It’s not for the public. I’m going to keep that to myself. (laughter) Good question, though.

Q: What was the key to the interception in the end zone?

JEVON HOLLAND: Just reading Tyrod, and he is a great quarterback, so all week I’ve been preparing trying to get the next step, and I read my keys and just executed, and so Coach G.A. (Gerald Alexander) always says when splash plays happen, opportunity meets execution. So that’s what happened. Yes, sir.

Q: You looked like you were waiting for the fans to grab you in the stands and they didn’t have your back?

JEVON HOLLAND: No, man. I told my homeboy on the sideline. I told Brandon Jones, when I get that first pick, I’m going to try that electric slide. I was trying to, but everybody was right there. Then I just seen the fans, and somebody was, like, ‘come on,’ so I just — forget it, I’m going to just jump. I thought they were going to grab me, but unfortunately… I think somebody spilled beer on me, honestly. I’m not going to lie. It was fun.

Q: I think you had a third down pressure that forced an incompletion, where you kind of lined up on the edge there. How would you describe the aggressiveness approach that the team had today?

JEVON HOLLAND: We’re going to go at them. That’s basically what the mentality was. The Bills game we were bringing a lot of pressure, and that’s what our game plan was basically this game, and it worked out for us. Yeah, that’s what it was.

Q: How big is getting a win in this environment on a short week, especially with the short turnaround just for the confidence in the locker room?

JEVON HOLLAND: It’s huge. It really is. It’s huge. It’s added fuel to us, for real. We really needed that like I said before. It’s a lot of positivity in the locker room. And we were sticking together throughout that entire streak, but right now energy is high, positivity is high, and so it really feels good. It really does.

What was the key to having the success in the red zone that you guys had as a defense?

JEVON HOLLAND: Just executing what our coaches planned for us during the week. It’s as simple as that. Really is. Just execute.

Now that it’s over, what was this last two months like for the team not getting that win and then…?

JEVON HOLLAND: It was a grind. It was a grind, but it did bring us together. You know, you really have to look to each other when you are trying to fight through a losing streak like that, and I think because of it, you know, we’re closer. We understand that we’re trying to do something here, and everybody has bought in, definitely.
