Jim Harbaugh was hyped up on Monday afternoon.
The Chargers Head Coach recapped Sunday's convincing 27-10 win over the Browns by holding court for nearly 30 minutes at the podium inside The Bolt.
First, Harbaugh agreed with the notion that Week 9 was his team's best win of the season so far.
"Yeah, in many ways," Harbaugh said.
He later added: "Really good. So many good things. Winning football in special teams, winning football on offense and winning football on defense."

Harbaugh then alluded to a litany of players who stepped up to help the Bolts move to 5-3 on the season.
"So much great individual effort," Harbaugh said. "I won't talk too long about each guy because there's so many of them to talk about."
By the time Harbaugh's nearly 11-minute answer was over, he had mentioned 17 total plays in all three phases.
Harbaugh's monologue, if you will, began by crediting Ryan Ficken's group on special teams.
Derius Davis jumpstarted the offense with a 53-yard punt return while Nick Niemann had four tackles on special teams. Teair Tart punctuated the performance with a blocked field goal late in the fourth quarter.
"It might have been kicked low but our guys got some push," Harbaugh said. "You never know what happens if that ball gets over them."
Offensively, the Bolts put up 342 yards of offense behind seven total plays of 20 yards or more.
Justin Herbert threw for 250 yards and had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in the first half as Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer provided explosive touchdown catches.
Running back J.K. Dobbins added 85 rushing yards and a pair of scores on the ground.
And even though Herbert was sacked six times against Myles Garrett and Co., Harbaugh said Monday he loved the compete level from his group.
"It was really resilient, really good. Just staying with it," Harbaugh said.
He later added: "The offensive line just battled. No offensive linemen likes to give up a sack but with that kind of player [Garrett], he's just tremendous. You just keep rolling and I thought both [Rashawn] Slater and [Joe] Alt did a great job of keeping their composure."
Then there's the Chargers defense, which continued its dominating 2024 season by limiting the Browns to just 10 points. Cleveland had just three points until the final minute of the fourth quarter.
The Bolts sacked Jameis Winston six times while forcing him into three second-half interceptions.
"The pass rush and the coverage was really complementary," Harbaugh said. "Sometimes when we weren't getting there with the pass rush, the secondary happened to be extra tight that caused him to hold the ball.
"When we were a little looser in coverage, the pass rush got there when we needed," Harbaugh added.
Tuli Tuipulotu led the way with 2.5 sacks while Morgan Fox had a pair and Khalil Mack had one.
Elijah Molden, Alohi Gilman and Tarheeb Still all had interceptions but Harbaugh singled out the rookie fifth-round pick for his stellar play.
"He was involved in all three interceptions," Harbaugh said of Still. "He caught the one, tipped the other and then he had such good coverage … he made the ball go high and it was an easy interception for Alohi."
By the time Harbaugh was done, it was clear how pleased he was after watching the tape of the road win in Cleveland.
And while he also commented on his new haircut, the Bolts wild and wacky final play of the first half and the fact that Simi Fehoko is likely headed to Injured Reserve, the theme of his Monday press conference was crystal clear.
"It was just a great team win," Harbaugh said. "That's the way it feels to me."
