LB Andrew Van Ginkel

(LB Bradley Chubb going down, we know how emotional that was. What’s your confidence level in DE Emmanuel Ogbah and LB Melvin Ingram?) – “First it starts with Bradley. Obviously the ultimate competitor. He brings so much energy and juice and is just a guy that does everything right. It’s tough seeing him go down like that and we’ve got his back. We’re going to be praying for him and wish him a speedy recovery and surgery. Obviously Ogbah is a guy that’s played a lot of years in this league. He’s no scrub. He’s going to come in and he’s going to make plays. That’s what he’s done his whole career. It’s tough, but it’s the next man up. Obviously, Melvin (Ingram), the same thing. He’s been in the league a long time, Pro Bowler, knows how to play and has played at a high level. So I’m excited for what they can do for this team and I’m excited to see them ball.”

(For you, another big stage, Sunday Night Football, primetime with so much on the line. What do you do during the day to kind of stay calm?) – “(laughter) That’s a good question. Obviously, I just try to relax in the morning. I’ll get up and get a little activation or something in, just to keep my body moving so I’m not laying around all day. I’ll usually try to get a little nap in or a little downtime just to relax and try to get the game off my mind and then get ready to roll. When I head to the stadium a few hours before the game, just let my body build up from there.”

(The Bills have had your number the last three times. What feels different about this game that you feel gives you the edge?) – “We’ve got a team that’s hungry. Obviously, we’re coming off a difficult loss. We’re motivated. We know what we’re capable of doing, and we’ve got a lot of guys in this room that they want to get that sour taste out of their mouth. Obviously, it’s a big game and we know what’s at stake, so we’re going to come out in full force.”
