Texans 30, Jaguars 14
Q. Brandin, how did it feel to have this kind of breakout game after a slow start to the season, and what do you think were some of the keys to just building that connection and getting open down the field and being able to get the football from Deshaun?
BRANDIN COOKS: It feels good from the overall standpoint of the offense, going out there and playing complementary football when we had the chance. So you know, just blessed from that standpoint and just getting everybody going, and at the end of the day when you do that, it seemed like everything clicked. For personally, I'm just thankful. Deshaun was throwing great passes today, O-line was blocking well, running backs, as well. It takes a collective effort, and so I'm just thankful from that standpoint.
Q. Was the feeling different and also the strategy with Tim and the things you were trying to do from the get-go? Obviously they went to you from the jump.
BRANDIN COOKS: I just think it's one of those things you felt that's where the game was going. You call your opportunities, you just try to take advantage. It wasn't nothing in particular, just came out and had a great day, even from a coaching standpoint.
Q. Could you take us through the 4th down conversion that you turned into a touchdown? What did you see and what was the moment like for you?
BRANDIN COOKS: I think that moment defined the trust right there. Not only from a player to player standpoint but from a coach to player standpoint. You know, calling in a gotta have situation. All guys were open, he just happened to come to me, and I just tried to do my best to make something happen for the offense, and he threw a great ball, and the rest was history.
Q. What was different for you and Deshaun today? It seemed like that connection sort of really popped off today. What was different maybe?
BRANDIN COOKS: I think it was just more so we all getting involved. It was just one of those things, I wouldn't say anything was different. The ball happened to come my way. Everyone was making plays today, and when you have that, it seemed like everything just goes well for everyone.
Q. What was it like playing in the first game for Romeo, and was there anything different he did or a different energy he brought today?
BRANDIN COOKS: It was great. You know, you talk about a coach that has a lot of history in this league and a lot of respect for him and everything that he's done, so once again, trusting him, and he put us in a position just to go out there and play great ball on both sides of the ball and trusted us as players and coaches. So other than that, just the respect that you have for him, the guy is awesome. Yeah.
Q. What does it mean to get this win, to get your first win of the year?
BRANDIN COOKS: It means a lot. At the end of the day just getting a win on the column and trying to take that momentum and continue to take it day by day, game by game. We see what we can do as an offense and a defense and special teams together when we all play together and complementary football. So if we ever get that win, it just gives you that joy of all that work that you put in throughout the week pays off.
Q. What was the locker room like?
BRANDIN COOKS: Exciting. I mean, when you win, you're always excited, right?
