Cody Ford on Bengals' Win Over Cardinals, Catching 21-Yard Pass
Transcript
00:00They were like just run down turn around. Well, like you said he didn't throw it at your chest. It kind of
00:05Well, because like I was saying earlier like
00:08As the play came I was like, oh, I'm just out here
00:10And then and then he threw it and I was like, oh, this is not coming to my body like I got a reach for this one
00:16Good hand, Cody's
00:18Good hands. Well, what did you play in track? What was your event in track? So I'm shot put
00:24So you catch the pass return. What are you thinking?
00:28You run
00:30I was just thinking run and the one other big thing was I can't let one person tackle me because it's kind of kind of embarrassing
00:37Yeah, so if it was more than one person I was like I can I can accept that for myself
00:42But I couldn't just let that one DB tackle me. I was I wouldn't have lived it down from the guys either
00:47I wanted you to go down after the first four yards after you caught the ball
00:51Why were you thinking Ron and not listening? Well, if he would have told me that I probably would have did it but
00:56He didn't disclose that to me. So I thought I had free range to do whatever like if I would have had to
01:03Shake somebody I would have tried
01:05Joe said whenever one of the big guys get the ball. They let up like a Christmas tree. We saw you do that. Why?
01:09I mean we don't ever get to touch the ball. You know we do it. You know, we get the hardest jobs of the day
01:15And then I finally get to touch the ball
01:18It's a dream come true. I know you said earlier, but what was it like hearing an entire stadium kind of change your name?
01:23It's surreal. That was something I've never been a part of and that today will be with me for a long time if not forever
01:30Would you did you think during that play you were gonna score a touchdown? I mean you got inside the 10 was there a part of you?
01:36At one point that said I'm getting it well
01:38I know I was just I just kept running and like I was telling someone else like I had my head down
01:44Because I was trying to kind of treat me like the 40 yard dance
01:47Like I'll look up when I look up and wherever I'm at that's where I'm at, but I was thinking just head down and just drive
01:53What what is the name of that player? We are we allowed to hear the name of that play?
01:58Is that gonna be like an inscription under your game ball in the box?
02:00I don't know we might have to keep that one close to the heart. What's the name of your route?
02:04Just a hit? Just a hit or is it listed to something else?
02:06Just a day like hey, just run a hit. They were like get out there and run a hit
02:09I think a lot of people are like why are they playing this game?
02:12Like a lot of people like checked out is this one of the reminders of like this is why we do this?
02:16Yeah, I mean I think someone said earlier this year
02:19I don't know who but they were like we get to play a kid's game, man
02:22I think today reminded a lot of people that like just we talked about last night
02:26Let's go let's go win, but like let's also just go out there have fun
02:29And you know, I think every individual can remember like why they play the game
02:34And you know today and even like the last few weeks, you know since we've been eliminated
02:38It's like you got to have motivation come from within and you know
02:42Sprouts sprout you the way you want to be at the end of the season
02:45You're obviously versatile across the offensive front. Are you gonna add wide receiver to that?
02:49Hey, I might have to I got a catch under my belt. I mean you can't you can't argue with it
