How much fun is it when the offense is clicking and playing like that?
"It's always fun. Don't get me wrong, but this defense is special. Anytime we go out there, it's an opportunity for us and we take advantage of it. It's always going to be fun for us. It's always fun to see number four (Deshaun Watson) smiling. Fun to see Coop (Amari Cooper) celebrating – which you guys have never, ever seen before. I hope you all know that. He's over there chest-bumping people. That's exciting. That's the camaraderie we want to build, and we're getting there. We are trending in the right direction. We're not where we want to be yet, but we're trending in the right direction."
After a tough week, losing Nick Chubb, was this the statement you wanted to make?
"He was the whole motivation. He's going to be our motivation for the rest of the year. Anytime you lose a player the caliber of Nick Chubb, the heart and soul of this team, it sparks something within everybody in this locker room. You saw it on the practice field, you saw it in the meetings. Guys were just locked-in and that translates over to Sunday."
How good did if feel to see Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt being able to step up an fill that hole that Nick Chubb left?
"We knew that was going to happen. Kareem is Cleveland through and through. Jerome –just getting his feet wet. Touching the ball and a great route catching the touchdown. He's going to continue to get better and make plays. We're going to need everybody and we understand that. That whole room, even Pierre (Strong Jr.). We're going to need everybody. Nick Chubb is one of a kind. To fill those shoes, you're going to need everybody and they understand that."
