Q. Hey, Kyle, first of all, congratulations on the game and the sacks. I wanted to ask you about the fight and what led to it. Do you think the Bengals were a bit dirty today in the way they played, and what were your thoughts on how your head coach reacted?
KYLE VAN NOY: I'm going to have that question go to Flo.
Q. Kyle, good to see you. I guess we'll just talk about kind of the defensive performance, especially in the second half. I don't know if you guys had a conversation as a defense at halftime, but it seems like things really started clicking there in the third quarter.
KYLE VAN NOY: Yeah, I think we did a good job coming out the second half, doing a better job of just bringing more energy and urgency. We started playing football, and I think it showed. Offense got the juice going, and defense came on and kept the juice, and we kept it rolling. We've just got to do a better job of coming out of the gate like that and keeping it for the whole game.
Q. We've seen you guys play well defensively for much of the year. This game was a lot of pressure that you guys had up front. What is sort of the calling card for you guys defensively? Have you guys set an identity for yourselves at this point?
KYLE VAN NOY: I mean, what do you think the identity is?
Q. I think you guys have been confusing with your blitzes and had a lot of multiple fronts, and you can evolve to different things, but I didn't know if you had a philosophy.
KYLE VAN NOY: There you go. You answered your own question. You're good.
Q. Hey, Kyle, as the team captain, when you see guys sticking up for each other, what does that mean after that? I don't mean to go back to the hit. I mean, that was the second time Jakeem got hit. But for guys to not just fold and go back to the sideline, but to stick up for each other.
KYLE VAN NOY: Yeah, that's what we're going to do. We're a family. That's what you do for your family, right, Josh? If you saw somebody get hit, you're going to act a certain type of way, so keep it moving.
