(On the touchdown to DJ Chark Jr.) “He did an awesome job. He came from all the way on the other side of the field and worked all the way back. That is a credit to him working and just finding a way. It was covered on the front end and especially down there you can make stuff happen and get a little time. I saw he was going to work open and one of the defensive linemen had me cut off, so I stepped back in and threw it. It was a good play.”
(On the defensive performance today) “It was awesome. That’s the thing, we know if we can get a lead on people, that’s what they’re capable of. That’s what this defense is built for, when we can get a team and they’re one dimensional. We try to help them by scoring points early, but yeah, I can’t say enough how much it does for us when they create turnovers and make negative plays to get the team off the field so we can go drive.”
(On scoring on the first drive) “Yeah, it was big. We felt good, rolling out of the gate. It was huge to set the tone for the rest of the game.”
(On Chris Conley’s touchdown) “I knew he was going to catch it, but I didn’t realize he was going to go all the way like that. What made that play was Leonard [Fournette] starting to fake and then came all the way back to make that block to send him around where I could step up and make that. That’s not on the stat sheet but that’s a Leonard Fournette play right there. That was absolutely huge.”
(On how big the last touchdown was near the end of the game) “Yeah it’s big. Definitely sick of hearing about the red zone stuff so we’re trying to score touchdowns as best we can. It was really good to do that and give us a little more cushion.”
