What was the turning point for the offense today?
“It’s tough to remember. We had three straight drives where we start deep and we’re not really moving the ball and our defense bailed us out. That first quarter I wasn’t playing very well. I was missing throws. (We) settled in there in the second half of the second quarter and from there we were moving the ball really well. The run game was good to us, Ja’Marr (Chase) was incredible like he always is, defense played great. Team win — team ugly win but we got it done.”
How do you stay level-headed with all the injuries on offense?

What does Ja’Marr Chase’s performance today, without Tee Higgins or Tyler Boyd, say about him?
“He’s incredible. You can move him around, he’s going to make plays in different spots. You give him…
