“I liked the fight. These guys came back and they gave us a chance at the end. That, I appreciate. But there’s a lot of things that we’ve got to fix and correct as a team. That’s not one unit, that’s not one person, that’s not one position. It’s a whole team effort that we’ve got to fix in order to win our next game.” – Head coach Zac Taylor, on the team’s overall performance
“It’s just good to play football again. The more reps you get at it, the better you’re going to be at it. I think we got 15 reps tonight, so we’re 15 reps better.” – Quarterback Joe Burrow, on the offensive starters playing the entire first quarter
“That was our mentality coming out — start fast, play fast, get the offense rolling, get some momentum on our side.” – Tight end Tanner Hudson, on the offense scoring two touchdowns on its first two possessions
“I was just trying to take it all in, it was a great feeling. I had been waiting for it my whole life. I was shocked a little bit, and I had to bring myself back to reality a little bit.” – DE Shemar Stewart on playing in his first NFL game
