The 28-year-old was quick to talk about fallen teammate Mylan Hicks, who was murdered two months ago in a senseless shooting outside a nightclub.

As players posed for selfies with the West Division championship trophy and Hicks’ No. 31 jersey, Wall said his interception was dedicated to Hicks’ family, especially his mom Renee.

“Big time,” Wall said of Hicks being a major motivational force. “Especially with me wearing his number. We want to make this special and get (his family) a ring.

“Then I was able to get a big play. I came off, looked in the camera and said ‘Renee (Hill), that’s for you.’ Hopefully she seen it, hopefully she heard it.

“If not, I’m going to make sure that she does and know that we’re not forgetting him. We’re making it special for him.”

Wall changed his number from 29 to 31 immediately after the murder.

It was just one of many gestures the team has made over the past eight weeks.

Running back Jerome Messam wants to deliver one more win to his fallen friend.

“It feels great but we still have work to do,” Messam said. “But he was with us tonight, smiling down on us.”

Wall said his injured foot felt fine after the game and he didn’t expect there to be any lingering effects leading up to the Grey Cup.

Just as he had no doubts about the West final.

“I told everyone before, ‘Don’t worry about it, I’m not going to put my team in jeopardy,’ ” Wall said. “I was confident in my ability to play.

“I knew I was going to be able to do what I do at a high level. And that’s what happened.”

The extra-long break gave Wall the chance to get healthy and the rest of his teammates a chance to take a well-deserved breather.

The Stamps hadn’t had a bye since Week 4.

With a solid gameplan, ruthless execution and a little extra motivation from a locker that has remained empty, Sunday’s outcome was never in doubt.

“We knew what was at stake,” Wall said. “We have a group of older guys and we’ve been in this position before.

“We wanted to make this a special year.

“Nothing was going to stop us from doing that.”
