Postgame – at Buffalo

Miami Dolphins QB Matt Moore (as transcribed by the Buffalo Bills)

Q: Your feelings on when the field goal went in for the win?

A: Yeah, all good feelings obviously. For the run game to get us down there in a situation like that is bigtime. The guys up front and all the backs really all played huge rolls today. We just kind of kept chipping away a little bit in the run game. That was tough. It was a tough one. No doubt. Just kind of kept chipping away and Jay (Ajayi) stayed strong and kept going and really busted out that big one in a crucial situation.

Q: How much did Jay Ajayi’s big day mean for you guys?

A: Yeah, to have a guy like that … you know I think he’ll tell you also he’ll probably credit the offensive line foremost. I mean those guys, we saw a ton of different looks. A lot of guys down in the box. We knew we wanted to run the ball and we had to run the ball so for those guys to deal with Buffalo’s defense which is always tough, it’s just a great feeling.

Q: Comment on all three running backs playing huge roles in todays game.

A: They all did. They all did. And Damien (Williams) had a big catch. I’m not sure if it was third down, I think it was third down, big catch and run down the left side there which set us up for a touchdown on that drive. Then Kenyan (Drake) coming in and and providing that spark and scoring on really a broken play. His talent really showed there and that was nice.

Q: How tough was it throwing the ball against the wind?

A: Yeah, it was challenging, it was challenging. But, short throws it wasn’t bad, but it definitely played a part I think in the ballgame. Not by anything crazy but just you had to be aware of it.

Q: What is it about this team?

A: Yeah, well … I mean it’s a team. This is a true team and I said that a couple weeks ago. I think everybody in that locker room will agree. We have a great message in the week coming from coach (Adam) Gase. The mindset of these guys has been extremely focused and really eyeing just the one game that we going on that week. But yeah like you said, we won a couple close games which was big. It’s always hard to fall on the other end of a game like this so to be on the other side is good.

Q: How does it feel to be part of this team where you are right now?

A: It’s great, it’s great, and guys can see, at least these past couple of weeks, the changes. What we were and kind of what we’re trying to be or kind of morphing into. And again, it’s nothing crazy but it’s just guys playing for each other really straining out there and finish is a word that’s always used and today is a perfect example of that,

Q: Last drive of regulation, do you feel that you got far enough for that field goal?

A: Well I know Andrew (Franks) has got a big leg but, I knew it would be close. I knew he had a shot, and sure enough, he put it through which was a big hit. Credit to those guys blocking for coming through on a big play.
