Postgame – Buffalo

DT Christian Wilkins

(On his ejection from the game after punching a Bills player…) – “I was just really extremely selfish. This is the ultimate team sport. It’s not just about me and I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed in myself about something, especially something that was in my control. It really, really shouldn’t have happened. There’s no place for it in this game and
that is not the standard I hold myself to. Because I love this game, I try to respect this game as much as possible and play it as competitively as possible. This game is meant to be competitive, not combative at all. I really let myself down and my teammates down in just a selfish moment so early in the game.”

(What led up to the punch?) – “It just happened so quickly. It was only the second play of the game. I just tried to come into the game with some energy on edge and just fired up. It’s an emotional game, so again like I said it all happened so fast but there’s no place for it in this game and just no place for it for me because I don’t want that reputation on myself. That’s not something I’m proud of. That’s not something I intended on doing coming into this game or anything like that. I just really let myself down and the team more importantly, you know, it’s just a learning experience, too, you live and you learn. That’s just a message to myself, a learning experience for my teammates and also a learning experience for people watching at home, kids watching at home. There’s no place for it. You have to play the game the right way.”

(Did you watch the game in here [locker room]?) – “Yeah. I definitely commend my teammates for fighting hard, I felt like we did some things really well, but just didn’t do enough to win. Respect to Buffalo because they did a good job.”
