Head Coach Todd Bowles on how his team practiced after an exciting road win: "It's Week 2. We've got a 24-hour rule. Win, lose, or draw, we've got to move on to the next opponent. We're just in the beginning of the season right now. We have a lot of things we can get better at to work on to be better and that's what we're working on."
QB Baker Mayfield on the team understanding that there is a long season ahead after their 2-0 start: "Yeah, I mean, 2-0 is 2-0. A lot of ball left. We know last year we started out 3-1 and hit the opposite turn. This is a group with a lot of the same pieces; we've been through this before together. Your standard is your standard – you have to meet that every single day and each game. Just hit the reset button and it doesn't matter what the outside noise is. We expected to be playing well at this point and we expect to continue to play well."
