Q. Can you give us your thoughts on Tee Higgins? Nine catches for 148 yards tonight. And then what type of statement do you feel like your team made tonight? No Chase, no Mixon for most of the game.
ZAC TAYLOR: Well, yeah, starting with Tee, he just -- when his number's called, you just expect him to make the play every single time. And he and Joe just have such a great rapport.
Tee is such a smart football player. He's got a great understanding of when the ball's going to come his way. He did a great job communicating with me on some routes that he wanted as the game went based on how they were playing him. I thought that was awesome.
And so, Tee's just always steps up big time for us. And, again, every team in the league is going to deal with players being out and you've got to find a way to overcome that.
I think our guys -- you know, Trenton Irwin just got a game ball, stepping up, getting his first touchdown. Mike Thomas steps up. Trent Taylor steps up.
You know, so we've got a lot of faith in that entirety of that room. And those guys stepped up. Trayveon Williams, when his number was called, I think his first carry was an eight-yard, tough run. Almost broke another one there. I think he maybe had two or three carries.
Thanks BengalsRocker, impresses me as well. I can see playing for Zac would be fun as you can just talk to the guy and
he is open as a Coach can get. That has to be refreshing, nothing like say when AJ was frustrated as hell that one year and
tore Ramsey's head off in that game, you could just see the frustration back in those days. Reminds me of a few teams I
have been watching this year, the Packers and Rams come to mind.
Might just be the SB hangover with the Rams though, I still think McVay is a good HC.
Another team that is the opposite is the Lions who I think have a fine HC in Campbell. He might just be bringing that team
out of the ashes for all we know. As crazy as it sounds the Bills better not be sleeping on the Lions.
