WR Preston Williams

(Can you take us through the touchdown last night?) – “We called a play where I had the back of the end zone. The dude was outside of me. I just knew I had to cross his face. ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) threw a good catchable ball. I caught it. Touchdown.”

(How about the celebration afterwards? We saw a gif of it on Twitter this morning. What was that all about?) – “We’re just trying to be more together. We want to celebrate and enjoy those little victories. The dance, I got it from one of the artists that passed away, Pop Smoke. It was one of his dances called the Woo. I did it for Brooklyn, New York.”

(There was a fairly unusual occurrence last night with an awful lot of pass interference calls that led to touchdowns. As a receiver, can you sense when a guy is about to interfere with you? Is there anything that you do as a receiver to try to draw that contact?) – “Yeah. When the ball is coming and the DB doesn’t turn his head around or get his eyes around, you can jump into him to get that pass interference. There are a lot of little things that we can do to draw (those).”

(About a month ago or so, like maybe three weeks, you told us that injury – when you feel like you’ll fully be over it. So week to week, do you feel like you’re physically and mentally improving?) – “Yeah, I feel like my knee is getting better with more time. It will be a year in November, so I’m getting close to that year mark. It’s definitely feeling better every game.”

(What does a victory mean to this team and how does it change what this weekend will be like and next week as you prepare for the Seahawks to come in?) – “Winning is hard in the league. So when we get us a win, we really like winning, as everybody does. We are going to use this motivation going into next week. We’ve got a good opponent coming up so we just want to play a good executed game like we did, and see what we’re going to do. We’re going to work hard this week and see what the outcome is going to be next week.”

(All four of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick’s touchdowns this year has gone to you, WR DeVante Parker, and TE Mike Gesicki, guys who are 6-3, 6-5 and 6-6. From a player’s perspective, what does that length down in the red zone do as far as scoring touchdowns? How much does that help you to produce touchdowns when you get down there close to the goal line?) – “Us being big targets and DBs being smaller, it’s more of a 60/40 game at that point. I know ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) likes to have big receiver and people that can catch the ball. We’re all dependable, so he trusts us and we trust him, that we’re going to be at the spot we’re supposed to be at when he throws it.”

(I haven’t seen the exact schedule yet, but I’m assuming you guys will get a little bit of time over the weekend, which is rare for you guys. How do you expect to spend that free time?) – “Just everybody get their bodies back right. We had a quick turnaround – two games within like (four days). We just want to get our bodies back right, come in and be professionals. Stick to the game plan when they send it out. It isn’t really different, just a day off.”
