CB Xavien Howard

Q. Can you walk me through that last play, where were you and how did it feel to kind of have the season end like that on a high note and have the entire crowd, have the entire team celebrate like that?
XAVIEN HOWARD: It was a great feeling. Been a rough season, I would say. We struggled at the beginning of the season, but I feel like we finished strong. I’m proud of everybody in that locker room.

Q. How much of it was a kind of point of emphasis to say although we don’t necessarily have a postseason berth to play for, we still want go out there and put the best outing that we can? How much of that was an emphasis during the week with this team?
XAVIEN HOWARD: We heard that so much this week. We heard that so much this week, but we want to finish strong. Not in the playoffs, nothing like that so we wanted to end on a good note at home.

Q. Can you describe the energy on the field the first couple of series that the defense took today? It felt just a lot like the juice you guys that you all were bringing during that seven-game winning streak?
XAVIEN HOWARD: Right, I felt like the momentum changed when we started making plays, scoring a touchdown on defense, I feel like the momentum changed. Everybody was excited and everybody came to play like that.

Q. What has been the learning lesson that you take from this season as a team?
XAVIEN HOWARD: I feel like as a team, we stuck together the through the ups and downs during the season, was 1-7, something like that starting off. It was tough. We could have been quitters, stuff like that, but we kept it going. Everybody kept fighting. I feel like we overcame it. We ended up finishing on a good note.
