DT Davon Godchaux

(Was the third-down play at the end of the game by the Colts a good play call by them or you guys not in a good play call?) – “We were in a perfect play call. Andrew Luck just made a play. That’s what he gets paid for. He made a play. We didn’t make a play on defense and they end up executing a game-winning field goal.”

(When you have the game in-hand for so long and then you kind of give it away like that, how frustrating is that?) – “It’s tough. It’s tough because the offense scored enough points for us to win the game. Any time your offense scores 21 points or more, your defense has to shut them out under 21. They gave us a chance to win the game and we just didn’t finish on defense. We had a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter and we have to close that out.”

(How important is it for you guys to bounce back now this week?) – “It’s very important. Buffalo is playing good football. They won their last two games. They’re going to come in here and try to be hungry and be physical, so we have to come out and be more physical than them.”

(What have you seen from Bills QB Josh Allen? He’s a little bit like Colts QB Andrew Luck isn’t he?) – “No. I mean he’s a big guy but he’s more like a ‘Big Ben’ (Ben Roethlisberger). He can scramble. He’s faster than ‘Big Ben.’ Like I said, they just won their last one against Jacksonville and have won their last two. They’re feeling pretty confident so we have to come out and play fast.”

(Having said that, the responsibility of doing your part when you have RB LeSean McCoy back there …) – “Oh man, everybody has to be on their Ps and Qs on defense. That’s running to the ball, tackling. If one guy misses, the other guy (has to) make sure he’s doing a good job of wrapping a guy up. With ‘Shady’ (LeSean McCoy), he’s elusive. I had a chance to train with him in the offseason. He’s very elusive and I’m pretty sure he’s looking forward to this matchup.”

(You guys are probably going to play them like you played the Jets where you’re just trying to stop the run and see if the QB can beat you.) – “I can’t tell you the secrets. (laughter) At the end of the day, we’re going to come out and we need this win. We lost two in a row. We came off a bye and we got a loss so we have to get these two at home. It starts with the Buffalo Bills.”

(Isn’t that always the recipe though? You guys are always saying you have to stop the run first.) – “You’ve got to stop the run to have some fun because if you don’t stop the run, then you’re in third-and-1 and third-and-2, and then you don’t get to rush the passer. So it’s going to be a long day if you don’t stop the run.”

(Is Bills DT Kyle Williams a guy you’ve followed being a fellow LSU guy?) – “That’s my guy. When I first saw Kyle, it was a funny story. I was a junior at LSU when I first saw Kyle and I said ‘Man, this guy is a football player?’ He had a collared shirt on and he looked like a guy who was just working like a mechanic. But I respect him so much and the things he’s done in Buffalo – Pro Bowl, All Pro. It speaks for itself. (He was) a fifth-round draft pick. It speaks for itself.”

(Like somebody else from LSU that was picked in the fifth round?) – “(laughter) I’m not going to comment on that one.”

(Are you expecting your buddy DT Jordan Phillips to run a little hot on Sunday?) – “I’m pretty sure he’s going to be intense coming back to the team that drafted him – the Miami Dolphins. He’s going to be intense but at the end of the day, I’m just controlling what I can control. We’re just focused on playing the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.”

(Have you kept in touch with Bills DT Jordan Phillips at all?) – “I mean I’ve talked to him. I hit him up on Instagram. ‘What’s up, J?’ and stuff like that. He’s going to come out and he’s going to be a competitor, which I expect him to be. But at the end of the day, the focus is on the Buffalo Bills.”
