“You felt like he was all over the place,” head coach Sean McVay said. “I thought his presence was outstanding today.”

Safety and fellow captain Quentin Lake, himself among the tone-setters on defense with his first career interception and a fumble recovery against Baltimore, echoed similar sentiments.

“Man, he was all over the place,” Lake said. “We talked about guys and great additions, and he’s really showing who he can be in this league. He’s done a phenomenal job of stopping the run, last week he did a great job of stopping the pass, too. He’s just an all around linebacker. And he talked about in one of his interviews that I saw, he wants to really bring that true mike linebacker back, and I think he’s doing a fantastic job of that.”
