Postgame – Cincinnati

DT Christian Wilkins (transcribed by Anthony Gutierrez)

(Is it sweeter getting a touchdown and then following it up later in the game with a sack as well?) – “I mean, I’m a d-linemen at heart, so the sacks will always trump everything. I love touchdowns, and hopefully this will be the first of many in my career, but the sack was definitely the icing on the cake and the win was the biggest thing, so that’s the best part of it all.”

(When the ball hit the ground, did you think you lost your touchdown reception, even after you fell on it?) – “I didn’t know but all I saw was everyone running over to me celebrating, so that’s all that mattered. I thought I was in clean the first time, but I wasn’t sure because I didn’t hear the whistle or anything.”

(How excited were you when Head Coach Brian Flores called that play?) – “Yeah. We worked on it earlier in the week, so I knew it was a possibility… Once we got into the huddle, (Ryan Fitzpatrick) made sure I knew ‘this is a pass.’ I appreciated that. (laughter) But then it was right there for me.”

(What went on the last few series?) – “They just made a lot of plays. We made a lot of mistakes and they capitalized on our mistakes. I can’t really tell you exactly what it was or what happened. I’d have to watch the tape to see it, to be sure. Again, it’s something you can learn from and move on.”

(There is talk this season about this team – wins, losses, draft picks. What do these victories mean for you guys?) – “I mean it means a lot because regardless of what people on the outside may think, we work extremely hard. The coaches, the players, everybody, we get after it each and every day and each and every week. We try to put our best effort forth, and it’s rewarding whenever you can get a win, because we have all been putting our best foot forward. There’s been a lot of great energy all year. Regardless of wins and losses and whatever happened the game before, guys did a great job each week of starting over and just getting after it.”
