CINCINNATI — Kris Jenkins just had his most productive day in a Bengals uniform and he's excited to bottle that defensive momentum into the biggest game of the season against Denver.

Jenkins notched single-game career-highs in sacks (two) and quarterback pressures (three) during Sunday's 24-6 win against Cleveland.

"We were just playing together," Jenkins said to our Elise Jesse. "We could all feel it every time we got a turnover, a three-and-out, you know that infectious energy was just radiating throughout the stadium. Offense as well, every time we got them more opportunities, get the ball and do what they do best, because we got the best offense in the country. Great things are going to happen."

Now, Cincinnati's defense has to stop a better offense in Denver, with solid rookie quarterback play via Bo Nix. Cincinnati will look to turn him over consistently—like they have 12 times so far in December.

"It's a great feeling," Jenkins said about the defensive momentum. "All that work you put in, from OTA's to training camp. You putting in a lot of time and energy. So for that to finally start clicking and that to start coming through, it's a great feeling. But like we said, we got way more to do, and we plan on getting better from here."
