Postgame – Dallas Cowboys

Miami Dolphins LB Andrew Van Ginkel

(How sweet was it to close out a game like that in dramatic fashion?) – “It’s great. Obviously, it shows that we belong. It’s a stepping stone in the right direction, so we just have to keep building and come together as a team.”

(They came in as the No. 2 scoring offense and you guys held them to 20 points. You had a lot of stops in the red zone. What went right for you guys defensively?) – “When you can limit an offense like that, obviously they’ve got CeeDee Lamb, (Tony) Pollard is a great running back, Jake Ferguson. All these guys that are weapons. They got us early and once we settled in and started to play our game, stick to our fundamentals and techniques and obviously (Defensive Coordinator) Vic (Fangio) put us in the right calls to make plays. It’s a step in the right direction, but we have to continue to improve.”

(What’s it like for you when you’re going off, LB Bradley Chubb’s getting home, DT Christian Wilkins getting home? All you guys are weaving it through.) – “We thrive off each other; we love seeing each other eat. When Chubb makes a big play, it gets us all excited. It’s just a love between us d-line. We feed off each other, and we want to see each other do well.”

(I know you guys are always happy after a win, but I don’t see any champagne being poured despite the playoff clinch. Why do you think that is?) – “We’re not done yet. This isn’t our ultimate goal. We made it to the playoffs last year, but we didn’t do what we wanted to do. We got bigger, a big surprise as (Head Coach) Mike (McDaniel) always says. Our goal isn’t to make the playoffs, so this is a step in the right direction, but we’re not done yet.”
