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.
