What Zac Taylor told Bengals in postgame speech after rout of Ravens
· Yahoo Sports
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor delivered a memorable postgame speech after the team's NFL Week 7 rout of the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
"Last night we said we're coming on the road for a divisional win to set the momentum for the rest of the season," Taylor said in the locker room. "You guys did exactly that. Couldn't be prouder of you guys. We started a little slow today, but you finished as strong as you could have possibly finished. 35-0 in the second half. Five possessions on offense, five touchdowns. Six possessions on defense, no points."

Taylor then proceeded to shout-out several players for their efforts.
"I saw Ja'Marr go 5 (catches) for 62 (yards) with the touchdown and a great halftime speech," Taylor continued. "I saw Tee have his 17th 100-yard game. I saw Joe go 16-of-18 for 249 and four touchdowns. We go home. We play in front of our fans against Tennessee. We got to have a great week of work. We can't afford to waste one second with this momentum we got."
The team followed Taylor's speech with a "Who-Dey" chant.
With the victory, Taylor passed Bengals founder and Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown, the father of team president and owner Mike Brown, in regular-season wins.
The Bengals became just the 10th team in NFL history to get shut out in the first half and then score 35 points or more in the second half, per CBS Sports research.
