  Speaker 1: Guys, I was crazy. Yeah, I think just overall, you
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: guys are gonna think I'm weird for saying this, but
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: we you know, I didn't think we played our best football.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I certainly didn't play my best football. We got a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: lot of work to do there, but at the end
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the day, we won. And you know that the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: team in that locker room, all the guys in that
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: locker room, you know, we worked so hard for moments
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: like this. Obviously, you know, like I said, we got
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, and we're gonna continue
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to push and get better. But those guys in the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: locker room deserve a win like that, and against a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: really really good team, you know, the the defense that
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: they have over there. I have a ton of respect
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for them, those guys over there, And obviously what Stafford
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: has been able to do, not only his whole career
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: but today and this season has been unbelievable. But yeah,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: just very happy for our guys win. We had four
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: throws and overtime, four comprecions in that drag, needed them
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: all to kind of lock them through what you were
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: seeing and how you forced the process before whatever. Its
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: real kind of yeah, I mean, you know, I think
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: for us it was just for me especially. You know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I've had games like this in the past where you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I haven't played necessarily my best football and turn the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: ball over. But at the end of the game you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: see yourself on the other side. You know, it's uh,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not great when you have you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: interceptions and and turnovers. You want to limit that. But
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: all you can do is fight back. And for us,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I was just gonna continue to to plug
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: away and get the guy, you know, get the ball
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to to open receivers and go through my reads. If
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you would, what what, how and why did you respond
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to the last do you? Personally? In the team? I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: think as a team, it's just what we've done all season.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: We're very res resilient, relentless group, and we just continue
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to to go and there's no quit and we're always
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: gonna gonna continue to fight. You know. There's been games
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: where we've won by a lot, you know, and there's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: been games where it's been kind of like this, not
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: necessarily like that, but just up and down, you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: waves of emotion kind of low and then going back up,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: taking the lead, getting back down and then taking the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: lead in the end, so you know, we we can
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: win in all facets. And again, I just I'm very
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: proud of you know, the guys in the locker room conversion.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: What was that? What did that look like to you?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You feel like you threw it backwards? Yeah, you know
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it was. It was like kind of right on the side,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm glad Sharp's you know, picked it
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: up and uh, you know that obviously was a game
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: changing play. Was uh, it just happened to be backwards.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't necessarily talked about. We were just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: going to try to, you know, get it in down
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: there in the goal line. Did you guys realize because
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you know, everyone's lining up for the kickoff thinking if
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you're down two points? What point did you realize that?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: When they started reviewing it and we saw it on
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the big screen a version and Mike said that it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was like the fourth progression. Guterres, what do you say
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to how that play all developed? Yeah, it was, uh,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you know, it was great play, you know, great play design,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: bar coaches, you know, and I just saw on the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: front side it was kind of, you know, it didn't
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: look great, So I just got backside and knew that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: my checkdown was going to be there eventually in Sobby
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Mary Soberts. So he did a great job of just
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: kind of finding that soft spot. He's kind of that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: glue guy who does a lot of things that we
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: don't see, but he hasn't had a lot of productions here.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: For him to get that moment, it's unbelievable, man. You know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty of the NFL is you know, you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: have all these guys. You have Jason, you have Shed,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you got you have guys like Coop that make all
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: these plays, and then the guy that wins the game
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is you know, Sobby and he's been in the league
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: for so long and I'm just very happy for him.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Sixteen point or call back. Then you guys go down
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: by touchdown over time. How do you maintain resolve, resilient?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: It's just keep coming back and then give it off. Yeah,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: it's just the identity of our team. You know, we're
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: always gonna fight no matter what the circumstances. You feel
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the momentum shift in the building when Rashid had that return. Yeah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it's just he's been making plays ever since he's got here.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Really even before that, you know, when he was in
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, he's always made plays. We've seen it, seen
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it on tape all the time. And for him to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: just you know, come in here, do his job and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: make plays, it's, uh, you know, it's not that we
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: don't expect it, but it's just unbelievable whenever he does
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: make a play time that you basically pretty tough is
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it for you personally, mean anything to win against this
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: group of this defense? Like you said, it's they're a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: tough defense. They have really good scheme, they have good
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: players that make it work. They got a great offense
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: as well that that you know, compliments their defense really well.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, it's just it's a good win.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: It's a good divisional win. But again, like I said,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you know it wasn't it was it pretty by any means.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You know, the turnovers I gotta cut down. You know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that's unacceptable, and we're just going to continue to find
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: ways to get better. The first one there, Wallas tracks
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: with Cooper across the formation on the motion there is
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it just to get them getting you a thinking it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: man and he's going with Kop on slam and then
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: dropping is on is that kind of what happened on
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that one? On? Which one? Sorry, the first one? There
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: after this guy goes in motion with Cooper across the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: formation in the slantine and you're trying to hit me
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and dropped underneath business. Yeah, yeah, you know, he just
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he made a really good play. Yeah, I appreciate it,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Gues
