Cincinnati Bengals On SI

Transcript

00:00I haven't said anything to Zach.

00:03I've just been patiently trying to work on my cut-off blocks,

00:07and not jump off sides, and do my job.

00:10And I guess this week was the look.

00:13And Coach Pitch and Zach came to me and said we're up this week.

00:16And I spent all Friday catching extra balls

00:20from Joe and Jake Browning.

00:21And I just told them if they call it, I'm not going to drop it.

00:25So I'm glad that I was able to.

00:27Were they ever that difficult, the ones

00:28that you were practicing?

00:29No.

00:30Because that was a tough catch.

00:31They warned me that I'd be contested.

00:33I'd have somebody on me.

00:34But I walked up to the line and was talking to the tackle.

00:38Like, hey, are we cutting off?

00:39Talking them out of fake block.

00:41And tried to get as free as I can.

00:43But Joe gave me a great, great pass.

00:45So it was really fun.

00:46It looked like he went and got the ball for you.

00:48Did you thank him for going and tracking that down?

00:51I did.

00:51That's my guy, man.

00:52He went and got the ball.

00:53I'm going to cherish it forever.

00:55Catching a touchdown from Joe Burrow, that's something.

00:58Not everybody can say.

00:59It's a pretty big play.

01:00Like, you haven't scored a lot in your career.

01:01But the plays you have scored are pretty big.

01:04How would you compare that to the Baltimore return?

01:07I mean, that touchdown right there was special.

01:10I don't think that a Bengals defensive player has ever

01:13scored a receiving touchdown.

01:15Anyone want to check me on that?

01:17You might know.

01:18Yeah.

01:1968 was the only time a defensive player scored a touchdown.

01:22Yeah, so first pass, I think, ever.

01:24But no, I think that it was just a really cool moment,

01:28something that Zach drew up for me.

01:33And I'm thankful to him.

01:35He's done so much for me in my career.

01:36So I'm just thankful.

01:39Zach said you got hurt on the play.

01:40I know you don't know the extent of it yet.

01:43But when did you realize you were hurt?

01:44Because you celebrated, like normal.

01:45I mean, you were all right.

01:47Yeah, no, I landed weird, banged my knee in the ground.

01:50Could be a PCL.

01:51But I need an MRI to see more.

01:55But we'll see what it is, whatever it is.

01:59Happy to get the win, happy to be the spark for the team.

02:02But you know.

02:04Was it always going to be a spike?

02:06Yeah, I definitely worked through the celebration

02:09a couple of times.

02:10Spike in the flex was the player.
