Cleveland - 27, Houston - 14
Q. What did you think? First pick six, big day for you.
TONY FIELDS: It was a great game. Blessed to be here and blessed to be part of the Cleveland Brown organization. I'm happy and looking forward to the next game.
Q. Was it nice for you to be able to kind of come up big in a game like this where you guys are almost really in a must win situation?
TONY FIELDS: Absolutely. Every game is about playing complementary football. Sometimes another man has to step up, next man up, and today was my day. I took that chance.
Q. Given how much the Texans have struggled this year, did you suspect that you all would have some opportunities in the passing game?
TONY FIELDS: More so not anticipating anything. We go into every game trying to get take-aways, trying to get three-plus takeaways. That's our defensive philosophy, and we got out there today and got the ball out, take it away.
Q. As a team, how did you feel about the way the crowd treated your quarterback?
TONY FIELDS: I feel like it was what we expected, but as you guys can see, we kept playing as we should. It's just football. I mean, who would have thought Deshaun was going to get applause coming into Houston?
Q. What did you see on your forced fumble? Were you surprised at all when you looked up and saw that Denzel (indiscernible)?
TONY FIELDS: No, I honestly didn't know nobody picked it up. I just hit the ball out and hoped for the best. He was on the 1 yard line. Any time a quarterback dives with the ball out, you got to hit it.
Q. Is there any sense of relief amongst the team just kind of getting past this initial phase of Deshaun's first game and being here specifically?
TONY FIELDS: Ever since Deshaun got in the building, he's been a tremendous leader. We're just going to keep on moving, keep moving forward. We've got division game next week. We're going to go in and try to get a win.
Q. It's been a while since the special teams and the defense had a game like this. Did Watson's first game like energize everybody, or was it just coincidence?
TONY FIELDS: I guess you could say it's coincidence. Complementary football, as I said before, everybody wants to go out, sometimes the offense is not going to score every drive on defense. Sometimes we're not going to stop every drive. Special teams, sometimes they may make big plays.
But today offense, defense, and special teams, we all made big plays when it was time.
Q. How big was it to get three takeaways?
TONY FIELDS: Like I said, that's our philosophy. I'm sure Coach Woods and the whole defense, as you guys know, we're all ecstatic, and we want to keep on moving and keep this thing rolling.
Q. You see Deshaun Watson in practice. Do you feel like he probably knocked off the rust for him this game and will be much better the second game?
TONY FIELDS: Deshaun's a pro. I feel like regardless every game, every practice, no matter where he goes, he's going to show up. We're not worried about Deshaun.
