  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to. You know, I don't really have
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the words right now. Just you know, equal parts, you know,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: crushed that we you know we're done playing you know,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: road ins for us this year, and you know, equal
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: parts just proud of what we did. You know, it's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: hard to it's hard to feel that part of it
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: right now because you're you just you put so much
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: into it, you know, you dedicate everything you have, the whole,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that whole, you know, our whole building for six months
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to get these opportunities and to come up short, it stings,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and um, yeah, it's just like I said, you know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you worked so hard to get here, and nobody thought
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we were gonna be here, and you know, we had
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: our shot and that's what hurts, you know. So we'll
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: be back. I'm confident in that. And this isn't this
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: is this is more the beginning than it is the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: end of something. Um, this is just getting started for us.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: So we got a taste of it. And I mean
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the guys are already hungry to get this opportunity again.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But it it it doesn't doesn't take away from the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: just the sting of like I said, you put so
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: much into it, and even today. You know, I felt
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: like we had our opportunities and I mean Chiefs just
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: they did more today to to win the game, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you know, we didn't make We just didn't quite make
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: those plays at the end that we've been able to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: make the last month or two. You know, they made
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: them today and we and we didn't. So um, that's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: kind of how the game went. And they took advantage
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of opportunities and we weren't able to capitalize on them.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And um, but it hurts too because we're right there,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you know. So yeahs in the atmosphere and thought it
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: would be like it was loud. I mean it was
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: just like you expect coming here and um on the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: road in the playoffs, going anywhere. Really Um, but I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: mean the fan of their fans did a great job.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: It was loud. You know. I thought we did a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: good job. You only had one pre snap penalty, so
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: guys did a good job of you know, being disciplined. Uh. Um.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: You know, communication could have been better at times. Just
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff you know, they did. They had
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a good plan defensively, presented a lot of different looks
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: for us and um, you know, but yeah, as far
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: as just the atmosphere. Obviously, that's that's what you want,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you know, especially if you're if you're the Chiefs, you know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a home game to be like that in the playoffs,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and you know, the fans obviously brought it and it's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a really cool environment. And um, like I said, we've
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: got a taste of it, and we're looking forward to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: being back in this this situation every year, guys, you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: got to battling. Yeah, I just I mean, I told
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: him we're gonna be back. And that's it's like I said,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it's just the beginning, you know, and it's it's hard
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to it's hard to put it into words really this year,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and you know, like I said, you just put so
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: much into it, it's kind of hard to hard to say,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I kind of want to collect my thoughts more.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But I told him we're gonna be back. Man. I'm
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: thankful for him and just what he's brought to to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: this team, to my for myself, you know, as a friend,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: as a player, just you know, a special, special guy.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm thankful for him and and so many guys
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: in that locker room that I told him after that,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you know, when we brought it up in the locker
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: room told him, I'm just thankful that what everybody sacrifice
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to get here, because it's a lot of you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not everybody sees what guys sacrifice, and whether that's playing
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: injured the last half of the season, whatever it is,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: guy's sacrifice a lot too to do what we were
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: able to do. And um, just came up a little
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Shorty's franchise. Every Yeah, it's like like I said, it's, uh,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it's hard to talk and think about that, but it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it's special what we were able to do. And like
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I said, no one, no one thought we should be here,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and we just kept believing, and um, it's really cool,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: really cool to be a part of. And and it
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was special, and like I said, just the beginning, you know,

• 4:02
  Speaker 1: for for this organization, for our city, for just our franchise,

  Speaker 1: bar of of of who who we're going to be
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and what we're gonna do moving forward. And and that's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the mindset and and we won't settle for less than that.
