Nobody else is on the field postgame like this

0:32

covering your Texans.

0:33

Here we go.

0:38

Walking off the field just a few seconds

0:41

after the matt Amandola game winner.

0:43

Holy moly, John Harris, what did we

0:45

just see?

0:47

I don't know, Drew, you might have to

0:49

get the bleep raw for this, because that

0:51

was some serious bleep man.

0:52

I still don't know how that happened.

0:55

I mean, the game is literally enhanced twenty seventeen,

0:58

and then.

0:59

I I mean, I don't.

1:01

Even know how to explained it.

1:02

I mean, how did boyd and not catch that touchdown at

1:04

the end there?

1:05

I don't know.

1:05

I don't know what this means other than the fact that Texas

1:08

they're five and four beating some really good football teams

1:10

lately, beat.

1:11

Some really good football team and this is a place they

1:13

just win in this town. They haven't lost

1:16

here since the George W.

1:17

Bush administration.

1:18

That's a long time ago.

1:19

Which Bush? Which Bush?

1:21

George W? The first second?

1:23

Yeah, a long time ago. Ah yeah,

1:24

I mean the defense was so

1:27

good for so long.

1:28

Today.

1:29

You know, just in the fourth quarter, you know, Joe Burrow got his

1:31

but man, the running game got going today. Motor was fantastic.

1:34

You know, everybody contributed. And how about Madamondola

1:36

going three for three today? I mean huge,

1:39

absolutely huge. But you'll look, it comes down

1:41

to seven. I mean that fourth quarter, he'd like

1:43

to have the one back, and I guarantee you'll tell the guys that he

1:46

he cost them there. But they hung in there. They

1:48

hung in there, and that's what good football teams do. Matter.

1:50

Was really fun to watch, just.

1:51

A total team win, huge plays on all

1:53

three sides of the ball.

1:54

You brought up Motor.

1:55

Not everybody knows, but that's Devin Singletony's

1:57

nickname. First one hundred yard performance

2:00

to Damian Pierce cracked one hundred in the loss

2:02

on Monday Night Football a year ago or Thursday

2:04

Night Football year ago against the Eagles. He was

2:06

huge today, he was.

2:08

Massive I mean there were times where he was one

2:10

on one with with a Bengal in the hole and he'd

2:12

make a miss. And I mean

2:14

Nick Scott still hasn't tackled him. I mean he made

2:17

twenty nine miss a few times. I mean it was

2:20

fun to watch, man. It was really fun offense to watch

2:22

today for sure.

2:22

And Nolah Brown, my goodness, we haven't broughtup

2:25

CJ stround were going on a moment. Nolah Brown continues

2:27

to explode head north of

2:29

one hundred and fifty.

2:30

We're getting fist bumps here from.

2:31

John Garnard had a couple of sacks atay north of one hundred

2:34

fifty, I mean nearly two hundred yards receiving today. That's

2:36

John clapping it.

2:37

Motor yeah, motor uh yeah.

2:39

Eighty five was tremendous. Two games for

2:41

one hundred and fifty plus back to back games. I

2:43

mean, I mean, guys that we have out today, I mean,

2:45

this really was a This was an organization

2:48

game.

2:48

Man.

2:48

It was incredible, really really fun.

2:49

All right, I got to get a lot from all right, John, have fun. That

2:51

was John Harris wrapping up the win. Excuse

2:54

me, U's gonna come through wrapping up the win,

2:56

Texans moved to five and four. They

2:59

have not lost in Cincinnati in

3:01

over fifteen twenty years. It's

3:03

been a long long time and they

3:05

are cooking now. This is a good Bengals team if they

3:08

just beat all right, Tank Dell,

3:10

what were the emotions? What was this locker

3:12

room like when you guys come in after the win.

3:16

You know, we was we was hyped.

3:18

You know, we just been a big We just beat

3:20

a big time team and we know what those

3:22

guys was gonna bring to this game. And you know, we

3:24

went out there and executed. It came down to

3:26

the wire, but we finished. So you know we was

3:28

a sighted you know, but it's on to the next week

3:30

now.

3:30

So what'd you think get that last drive? What

3:33

was going on for you guys?

3:34

CJ Man, he was just calm, He was poised.

3:37

It started off front with the old line. But you know, CJ,

3:39

we got seven, bro seven handle business man,

3:41

so very like we got

3:44

seven and when we got him, we know we can do anything.

3:46

So he gave us motivation. He gave us

3:48

the courage to go out there and finish

3:51

the game, and you know, we want to win for him

3:53

and for coach Demico, So for the whole organization,

3:55

man for everybody.

3:56

So we finished.

3:57

Tell me about the touchdown catch you had. You catch

3:59

that thing and then you dive in there.

4:00

It didn't look like initially when you get it, the

4:03

defense was gonna.

4:04

Converge and get you stopped short. They didn't do that.

4:08

Yeah, with me, I just caught it.

4:09

I saw a little bit of space and I tol I ran

4:11

with it. So saw a little bit of space I saw

4:13

it just felt like.

4:15

I could reach out. If I can get close and reach out, I can

4:17

get in there.

4:17

So that's what I did, and you know, ended up being

4:20

a touchdown.

4:20

A lot of you guys were banged up today. Some of you weren't

4:22

able to play. Some of you who were able to play

4:25

play through a lot. What to say about

4:27

the toughest of.

4:27

This team, man that were willing

4:29

to go out there each and every Sunday and give up what we

4:31

give everything we got left in the tank. If

4:34

you hurt, you banged up, but you're going out there, you're scrapping

4:36

up. Then you signing up to go out there and play all

4:38

four quarters and play hard. And we know that,

4:40

so you just gonna give it everything.

4:42

What's it like seeing the game and the way it did with the

4:44

kicker, with all huge

4:46

players coming from every side of the ball, special teams,

4:48

offensive defense, it was.

4:50

As a sight.

4:51

You know, he just got here this week and he stepped up.

4:53

His name and his number was called, name was called, and

4:55

he finished the game for us. So we're very proud

4:57

of him. Man, you just hand the business.

5:00

Tank del thank you for the time, right

5:05

all right, SEAQ Griffin. What is going

5:07

on in this locker room following a win like

5:09

that?

5:10

Oh?

5:10

Man, it's kind of hard to pinpoint it right now.

5:12

Man, It's a lot of excitement. Man, it's a lot of people who,

5:15

you know, just who're just happy with everybody

5:17

who had the way we fought this game and offense

5:19

defense, specially teams putting us in a great situation.

5:22

But man, I'm just proud of these guys here, and

5:24

I feel like everybody feel the same way.

5:25

Man.

5:26

It's a lot of excitement. Man, it's kind of hard to put in words

5:28

right now.

5:28

You got a big smile on your face and you just bring up all three

5:30

sides of the ball, huge, huge, huge

5:32

players by all of them.

5:34

Let's talk about your interception. What was going on there.

5:36

Oh, man, I just reading his eyes, and

5:38

you know, we're just playing the regular zone,

5:40

a little defense, and I seen him want to go to his running

5:43

back.

5:43

I said, well, I ain't gonna waste no time here. I'm gonna go to the end

5:45

zone.

5:46

Man.

5:47

He threw it exactly where I was heading to. So it was a perfect

5:49

I said in my head, I said, just don't drop it.

5:51

I said, the only thing you gotta do is just don't drop it. So I

5:53

took my thigh I caught the ball. I was like, you know, should I run?

5:55

Ah?

5:56

I just took a break, took a knee to that celebrate.

5:58

So man it it was amazing, amazing play.

6:01

He's one of the best in the game.

6:01

Joe bro.

6:02

He's gonna get his. He got his.

6:04

But you guys encoverage in

6:06

the rush in the middle with the linebackers.

6:08

What'd y'all do to him today?

6:09

Man?

6:10

Oh, we did exactly what we need to do.

6:11

We knew he was gonna make some plays for the main thing

6:13

is we try to keep him contained as much as possible. They

6:15

knowing nuggeting the wrong with a lot of things we could learn from, you

6:17

know, from the situation in that game. But uh,

6:20

man, I feel like the d line got after him, like

6:22

they made a lot of huge plays, especially the plays towards

6:25

the end.

6:25

What really mattered, you know, getting those two sacks

6:27

back to back to push him back.

6:28

You know, ain't no telling how different it could have been if we didn't

6:31

get those plays made. So man, I just

6:33

feel like, you know, when it came down to it, we just continue

6:35

to fight no matter how the outcome was gonna

6:37

be. We just continue to fight until the last second,

6:39

you know, And I be the one on that side of the ball,

6:41

they'd.

6:42

Be kicking it for the game winner. I love

6:44

going that side every time.

6:45

One last thing for me, what's it like having a quarterback

6:47

like CJ. Stroud when you're a defender?

6:49

Oh man, it's amazing. It's amazing.

6:51

I remember in the first quarter when they took off, like first

6:53

six minutes, I said, when you got a guy like that who

6:56

can minish the game and make plays, it's gonna

6:58

be a hard team to stop. And man, knowing

7:00

you got a guy like that behind you the defense,

7:02

you gotta do what you gotta do.

7:03

Man, we love him, We love him a lot.

7:05

Seat Griffin congrats on the victory. Can't wait to see

7:07

you again.

7:08

Thank you, thank you, thank you our cornerback.

7:10

Stephen Nelson. First things first, the

7:12

locker room after this win. How delicious is this?

7:15

Oh?

7:16

Delicious?

7:16

Uh it's a crazy way

7:19

to describe him. Delicious

7:21

not malicious. No, No, delicious is a crazy

7:23

word too in itself. We have to pause that. But

7:28

well, I'm gonna say, man, it was great. It was a great atmosphere

7:30

after a great win. You know, guys came in here. It was

7:33

hype, you know what I mean. We need that, We

7:35

need that juice for our team. Man, So you felt

7:37

great.

7:38

Big win over a good team like you mentioned, This

7:40

is a banged up roster of you guys,

7:42

you in particular banged up. I mean, what did you have to

7:44

gut through today to make make today a reality?

7:47

Oh?

7:48

Man?

7:48

You know, just look at my teammates. You

7:50

know, you know they depend on me, so

7:52

you know, I gotta put whatever I got

7:54

going on side, and you know, sacrifice,

7:57

you know. So that's what it's about and helping

7:59

my team get a win.

8:00

What'd you think what the pass rush was able to do to help

8:02

you guys, and what you guys were able to do to help the pass rush

8:04

as a secondary.

8:05

Rush and cover go together.

8:08

What's next for you guys?

8:10

Get back to work, man, Just keep it going. You know

8:13

there's still a lot of football left. You

8:15

know, a lot of great football teams, and

8:17

you know you can never look too soon or you

8:20

know, take the foot out of the guys. Gotta keep going all the way

8:22

through.

8:22

You bring up those those great football teams you've been on this

8:25

the last question. What's it like as a defender playing

8:27

with a quarterback like CJ.

8:28

Stroud?

8:29

It means a lot, bro because I mean,

8:32

just keep it short, like you know, when you got a quarterback

8:34

that can get points, you know, it puts an

8:36

other team on edge. And as a cornerback,

8:39

you want them to throw the ball, you know.

8:40

So gutsy performance by

8:42

Steven Nelson. Steve, appreciate the time, best of luck.

8:44

Appreciate you, Thank you.

8:45

Thanks Ma Sheldon. I got in, I got in late.

8:48

But ye, what was going on

8:50

on here your day to day? I mean three sacks? You

8:52

ever had a three sack day before high school?

8:55

High school? My last three

8:57

sack game was high school? Oh

8:59

yeah, no, I think I

9:02

played against Alixe cap A lot, you

9:04

know from my time in New Orleans, you

9:07

know, so very familiar with him, very

9:10

familiar with him and played

9:12

the Bangles the last two years with the Jets

9:14

in this same front, So very

9:16

familiar with how they want to attack it, very familiar

9:19

with you know, a lot of things we would get and

9:22

just went through my process through the week, just kind

9:24

of understanding what

9:26

he loses too, and then what I do well,

9:30

and just kind of marrying those two things

9:32

together and then just come out here

9:34

and execute. You know, every one of them isn't gonna

9:36

be perfect. Everyone isn't gonna be a sack

9:38

or a hit or something like that. But you don't

9:41

deviate from the plan. You trust the process,

9:43

you go through throughout the week, and then you come out here on Sunday

9:45

and you execute.

9:46

Seldon, you talk about the marriage of those two things. How

9:48

about the marriage.

9:48

Of what you guys were able to do upfront with

9:51

what was going on in the back end in the secondary. How much did

9:53

you both sides crank each other?

9:54

Yeah? Absolutely, we feed off of that.

9:56

We feed off each other. You know, JP's

9:59

are hyping, you know Petrie, you know, he's always

10:02

uh, he's always talking to us up front. He's

10:04

always getting everybody hyping on the

10:06

same page, and and we just feed off that

10:08

energy. We understand it all works hand in hand Russian

10:11

coverage. You know, there are

10:13

times where we may not necessarily

10:15

you know, win all our rushes, and you know, they

10:17

bail us out and then you know, and vice versa.

10:20

And then when we're operating on the same page together,

10:23

you know, we feel like there's an offense that that can

10:25

mess with itself. Uh So,

10:28

you know, just just being able to

10:30

continue growing that continuity, continue to

10:32

grow that that uh, that relationship

10:34

between Russian coverage.

10:37

I expect nothing but great things down the stretch.

10:39

Last thing for micheldon how tough

10:41

are you guys?

10:42

Because you know, no, no NFL team,

10:44

no matter the week of the season, enters it with one hundred

10:46

percent health.

10:47

That's to a man, not much less as a team.

10:49

A lot of guys are out today, A lot of guys

10:51

who were playing you included, playing hurt.

10:54

How tough are you guys?

10:56

Uh?

10:57

Yeah, we don't. If

10:59

if we can walk, we're out there.

11:01

You know.

11:01

That's that's that's that's kind of the the kind

11:03

of the vibe of the locker room. You know, no man wants

11:05

to miss an opportunity to go out there and fight

11:07

for their brothers, you know, to go out there and

11:10

and put their best feel forward for this

11:12

team. You know, just being around

11:14

here, man, everybody's so close. Everybody loves

11:16

wonder. Everybody wants to see the

11:18

man next to them elevate and have

11:20

success and and make big time

11:23

plays. And there's no there's there's

11:25

no slight, there's no animosity,

11:27

you know for any of that. Guys are genuinely

11:29

happy to see one another go out there and make

11:32

plays and and have success. So, uh,

11:35

when you have that, it's

11:37

it's it's nothing for a guy to you know, uh

11:40

tough it out through a little you know, through a little

11:43

pain here or there to be able to go out there and

11:45

and be a part of his special brotherhood that we have

11:47

here.

11:48
