(WR Tyreek Hill is dealing with a fire at his house. What goes through your head realizing he’s got a wife and kids at the house and is practicing and has this to deal with?) – “Yeah, just seeing him bolt and go take care of what he’s got to take care of right now, obviously he’s a prioritized guy and he’s going to take care of it. So you hope everyone’s safe, happy and healthy, can get out of there and just allow for family to be safe so that your home is good. That’s the priority in all of this. This is a workplace, this what we do for a job, but that’s obviously wellbeing. You definitely have prayers for their family that they can get out and Tyreek can go back and take care of business there.”

(You’re so good at having perspective not only in football but outside of football. Seeing something like this, what’s your biggest takeaway?) – “Man, it’s a shock, right? It catches you off guard a little bit. You don’t think that it’s ever going to happen to you until it does. It’s something as a team, we’ve got to be able to come together and make sure that we can reach out to Tyreek (Hill) and be human beings with him and make sure everything is squared away and we can do everything we possibly can to help our teammate. That’s the human element of this locker room. I think that’s what special about this locker room is we actually do care about each other outside of the building. We’ve been there, we’ve taken care of one another, so it’s just another step in being good teammates and human beings to one another in this organization.”

(Let’s talk about Sunday. A big one. So much excitement for the actual game. What can you do to stay calm? It’s a late, late kickoff on Sunday.) – “I had a wise high school coach, Gary Westerman, once tell me, it’s a slow build. You can’t peak too high, too late. It’s a slow build. We’ve had a number of different primetime games and opportunities, so that’s what I’m going to do, man. You get extra time to review that play call sheet, dial in on those details a little bit more and then by the time kickoff goes, I’m going to be locked and loaded and so will the rest of the guys so it’ll be exciting.”

(You guys are special at home. You win here all the time. How much of an advantage is that knowing that the Bills have kind of had your number the last three times?) – “I think it’s a collective belief. We’ve shared in all of those experiences. The wins, the losses, we’ve learned from all these opportunities throughout the year. So this is the next one. It’s the biggest one because it’s the next one and it’s the regular season finale. I think it’s a great opportunity for this team to be able to get right, to go back and do what we know we can do and just be at our best. I think that’s what everyone is going to be gunning for and I think if we do that, we’ve got a shot.”
