Postgame – Buffalo

CB Xavien Howard

(Obviously you guys lost and QB Josh Allen had a big day. Were you surprised that they didn’t have you covering WR Stefon Diggs more? Seemed like CB Noah Igbinoghene had a lot of that responsibility.) – “I wasn’t surprised. It was the game plan. I knew the game plan what was going on. Coaches did what was best for us and at first Byron was covering and something happened with Byron, so Noah ended up coming in. It was the game plan that we had.”

(What happened on that last touchdown to WR John Brown? I saw both you and — were chasing, what happened there?) “He ran to open space. That was my guy. I take fault of that, he scored a touchdown. I just got to be on top of it.”

(How did CB Byron Jones going out in the first series impact the game?) – “We have a next-man-up mentality. You know, during this time, COVID, there’s a lot of stuff going on. You never know who will be playing, who won’t be playing. We go with the next-man-up mentality and we just got to keep going.”

(How do you grade the improvement QB Josh Allen has made in the time you’ve been facing him in the NFL?) – “He improved a lot. We knew he had a strong arm and can throw the ball deep. I feel like he’s getting better making smart decisions with the ball.”

(Last week we saw QB Cam Newton running for an awful lot of yards against and you today Buffalo had 526 yards total offense. What’s wrong with the defense and how are you going to get it fixed?) –  “We got a quick turnaround, so we expecting the same thing the team did today. Just got to do our job. I feel like the coaches put us in position to do our job. It’s not all on the coaches. They have a plan. It mostly on the players. We have to do our job and we should be good.”

(What are some things you guys in the secondary can do better, including yourself CB Noah Igbinoghene, CB Nik Needham as well. What are some things you guys can do better?) – “We have to put ourselves in a better position to make a play and make a play on the ball. We just got to – Teams know what we doing, what we’re going to do, so we just got to put ourselves in a better position to make a play.”
