RB Tony Pollard

How does it feel to have had so much success in the run game tonight, and how did you guys do it?

"Oh, that was big for us, you know, just getting that momentum going on the ground, and just relying on all the big guys up front. You know, them moving the line of scrimmage, creating a lot of space for the runners to make plays, and that's what we did. "

Myles Garrett made some plays without the success that you guys were having on the ground. How were you able to neutralize him?

"Yeah, just knowing the type of player he is, how dominant he is out there on the field, and trying to minimize him as best as possible with the run game. Trying to stick with it, be more consistent, and, we did a good job executing today."

Was there a particular point where it felt like, hey man, we're going to run the ball today before the big touchdown?

"Um, I would say during that first drive, I think it was one of the runs I made, I got like seven or eight yards, and then it just felt like we were starting to get into a good rhythm moving the ball, converting third downs, and just making the plays we needed to make."

You guys were able to do that last week but got away from them. Did you like find yourself at all? Like "hey man, we just got to keep running."

"Yeah, just communicating with the coaches, talking to the personnel, letting them know what we like, what we don't like, and what we feel like we need to keep doing."

Why do you think it was so possible to establish that rhythm today that had been lacking these last couple of weeks?

"I would say our consistency, we stay with it. You know, even when the momentum shifted in the game, we were down a little bit on the scoreboard, but we didn't get away from it. We stayed consistent, hitting those hard runs, some two yarders, three yarders, and just kept leaning on them, and then eventually they'll pop."

How good does it feel just to win?

"Man, it's been a minute. It's a good feeling."
