  Speaker 1: the end. How did it feel to get out there
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and get a couple red zone stops?

  Speaker 2: It is what it is, man.

  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's our job to

  Speaker 3: All the talking heads, all the words around our football team.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: We're holding together, playing one down at a time and
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: trying to put good football out there. At the end
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: of the day, keeping our eyes forward, focus on what
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: we have in our building.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And all the other stuff, yeah, we don't care. To
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: get off the board with a sack today, did that feel–

  Speaker 2: Say it again. To get off the board with a
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: sack today, what did that feel like.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: To– Yeah, it felt good, man. You know, just to

• 1:43
  Speaker 3: this is it for me. This is going to be

  Speaker 3: my last season playing. So, you know, whenever I get
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to go out there and play with my brothers, like,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I'm trying.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: To put my best foot forward. And luckily I got
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: a sack today. Wow.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: They had a long drive to start the game, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: then they didn't score again the rest of the.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Evening or afternoon.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Did anything change.

  Speaker 1: For you guys? You just kind of locked down.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: What got better for you after that? Yeah, man.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: You know, coaches come out with their first 15. You know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: they was able to, you know, drive the ball down
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the field. But, you know, once we hung together, you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: got back down in the red zone, we figured it out.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So, at the end of the day.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: You know, it's going to, football, man, it's unexpected, bro. Like,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: so when you get an opportunity to, you know, come
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: together as a defense in that moment, the first drive,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: you know, we was able to figure it out and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: that was the game.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You guys had a fumble that was called back because
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it was no further progress.

  Speaker 2: You might not even ask me this question. And then
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the interception for.

  Speaker 1: Josh Joe was called back for DPI. How challenging is
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that for you guys when you think you're getting off
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the field to have to come back and re-line up?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I don't have no answer for you. No answer for you, man.
• 2:52

• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you know. You know, we're trying to make big plays. And,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you know, when you make those big plays, it's not

  Speaker 2: way you responded to those? I mean, you took the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: stops and, you know, not letting it get you down.
