BENGALS HEAD COACH ZAC TAYLOR
POSTGAME PRESS CONFERENCE
ZT: It wasn’t perfect at all times. There were some really good moments and some moments we’ve got to improve on. But at the end of the day, December 24, getting out of here with a win is a big deal. So we’re going to find a way to correct the negatives and focus on the positives and get ready for Monday night against Buffalo.
Q: What was the difference offensively in the second half when you couldn’t move the ball as well?
ZT: We had the two turnovers that hurt us. Again, they did a nice job mixing some things in there. They made some plays when they needed to. We had some opportunities.

There was a couple of really – just explosives in the second half is where they got us. I thought there were some good things our defense did and a couple of explosives that got us there.

Q: It was reminiscent of a couple wins you had last year. That Vegas game comes to mind. What is it about this team that’s been consistent about, even when things aren’t going well and they’re knocking on the door, they’re able to find a way?
ZT: Yeah,…
