CB Denzel Ward (12.7.22)

 

On how the Browns defense can match its effort and execution from last week against the Bengals:

“We have to go out there, execute, do our job and take it one play at a time.”

 

On the Browns defense’s success against the Bengals and Bengals QB Joe Burrow:

“It is just doing our job and taking it one play at a time. Coaches do a great job of putting a great game plan in and guys buy in and execute. Try to have a similar gameplan, executing it and doing our job, and hopefully, we get a win.”

 

On if winning consecutive games can get into an opposing QB’s head:

“I am not sure. Like I said, we have to go out there and do our job, and everything else will take care of itself.”

 

On if the Browns defense gets some motivation from comments by Bengals WRs during training camp and the offseason:

“We could, but our main focus is doing whatever we can to get a win. We still have games ahead of us, and we just have to take it a game at a time, though.”

 

On CB Greg Newsome II comment about wishing Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase was able to play in the teams’ first game and if the Browns are glad that they will likely get to match up against Chase this week:

“Yeah, I like matchups like those and enjoy those matchups so definitely looking forward to him being back and going against those guys. They have a great receiving group and a great quarterback obviously. I think it will be just a great matchup to go against offense and defense.”
