Bengals 45, Dolphins 21
ZACH SIELER: We got make the corrections and make the adjustments. I haven't seen what happened or what we got hit with, but we got to be able to fly around and just play our brand. We can't come out flat like that.
Q. What impressed you about Joe Burrow today?
ZACH SIELER: They good a great job on offense, getting the ball out quick, staying in rhythm. Then we got to do a better job getting back there and affecting that so they can't do that.
Q. Quinn Ewers' first start. Did the defense come out with a feeling like we got to do something for him, got to do something better for him?
ZACH SIELER: Absolutely not. Had all the confidence. Came out just like any other game. I think we came out hot, came out good. I think we played well in the first quarter, first half. Obviously haven't seen the tape or anything like that, but clearly we just weren't able to hold up at the end.
So we got to find a way to make it right and get better and move on to Tampa.
Q. Among the young guys on defense, anyone -- last two first round picks combined for a sack in KG and Chop.
ZACH SIELER: Yeah, those guys are doing great. There a lot of guys learning out there and a lot of guys giving their all every play. Is it going to be perfect? Absolutely not. Am I going to be perfect? Absolutely not. The whole thing is eliminating as many little errors as we can and playing as unit, all 11 of us.
So if we strive for that every week we're going to get better. Sucks to keep saying, but we just got to keep going forward.
Q. What you do you hope to get out of final two games now?
ZACH SIELER: Show our brand of football. We're not going to lay down. We're going to keep playing and go what we can every single snap and play the best ball we can play individually and as a team.
