On his touchdown reception in the first half:
"It was cool. I think it's been overlooked, the drive that we put together before the half to give us the momentum. Eight-play drive. No negative plays, and great ball by BA [Brandon Allen]. Just tried to make a play to cap it off."
On the support from his teammates on the sideline after his touchdown:
"Yeah, super cool. It's a family atmosphere here. It's felt more and more like a family every day. We're getting closer every single day, so all the welcoming arms were super cool."
On whether he takes pride in contested catches:
"Absolutely, yeah. I like to think of myself as a complete tight end that can make plays like that, and then obviously make my plays in the run-game."
On whether it's easy for a rookie quarterback like QB Cam Ward to come in and take control of the offense:
"Absolutely not, especially not as a first-overall pick quarterback. It can be tough to grab control of the locker room, but he came in and did it right away. Guys are falling into place, really following his lead. You would think that he's been here for four or five years already. Just what he's been able to do from a leadership standpoint, like I said, guys are following in his lead. When we first came in, we developed a habit of coming in early. He would come in early, watch film. Now we're staying late, watching extra film with him in the hotel when we're here and on the road. We're just continuing to build that chemistry in the receiver, tight end, running back room. Things are starting to click for sure."
