Raiders at Bengals Postgame Recap

“To get over 100 yards, that’s a credit to him, that’s a credit to linemen and the receivers and tight ends. Great job with the scheme there by Frank (Pollack). I’m just proud of the effort, he allowed us to lean on that. But when you can play with the lead, you’re able to keep hammering that and get some runs like we got. We haven’t given ourselves enough of those opportunities lately. This is a game where, when you finally get a two or three-score lead, you can lean on that and wear them down and get some bigger runs. We afforded ourselves those opportunities today.” — Head Coach Zac Taylor, on Chase Brown’s performance and the team playing with a lead

“Gesicki is a guy we’ve been able to lean on. And I know there was a lull there in the season where he didn’t get a lot of targets, but that’s just the way this offense goes sometimes. Joe (Burrow) does a great job dispersing it to wherever the concept is calling for and what the defense gives you, and Mike has done an excellent job capitalizing on his opportunities.” — Head Coach Zac Taylor, on Mike Gesicki’s performance on Sunday and this season

“That’s just how the game played out. They mix up their coverages a lot. And when you do that, it’s hard for me pre-snap to understand where the ball is going to go. So, I’m just reading and reacting. And with Maxx Crosby over there, you have to play the game quickly and process quickly and get the ball out. I was happy with how I did that today. I got sacked a couple times. I think for the most part, I read and reacted to the defense very efficiently today.” — Joe Burrow, on completing passes to eight different receivers

“Anybody who’s rooting for the Cincinnati Bengals knows it’s a must-win game. We had a good plan. There’s things we need to correct and obviously we’re going to have to do that on a short week.” — Defensive End Trey Hendrickson, on the importance of picking up a win on Sunday

“You kind of pay attention, but the offensive line was blocking their tails off today, so they were making my job easy by opening up running lanes and breaking tackles to make them bigger. It fees good — (we’ve got to) continue this energy into Thursday.” — Chase Brown, on whether he was aware he reached 100 rushing yards

“I told everybody I just feel like I’m living right because that happened. My wife could have probably scored on that play. Honestly, a lot of credit goes to Ja’Marr (Chase) because of how much attention he gets. It was just a fake screen, pump the screen to Ja’Marr and Joe (Burrow) put it out there and like I said, (my wife) Halle could have probably scored on that one.” — Tight End Mike Gesicki, on his 47-yard touchdown
