• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Somebody who has Super Bowl experience gonna what's your message
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to your teammates here in the next few days.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: So for me, it's like I kind of I step
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: away a little bit from this part because honestly, my
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: super Bowl experience, like it is in LA. We didn't
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: go anywhere. I think here, we'll have to go like
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: a week in events. So I'm a little new to
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: this is myself. Like we didn't have much media. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: think it was COVID time, So like I'm new to
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: it myself.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Do you think maybe you appreciate this run there the second.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Time is a more experienced guy that understands how harder
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: versus a rookie one thousand.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: That's why I spoke to the group maybe a couple
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: of weeks ago. I was really spoke speaking to Nick
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: cause I'm like, man, me personally, you know, I'm out
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: there with ad a bunch of guys who were legends,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and I didn't just want to mess it up, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I was playing timid, playing scared, and I told Nick
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: it be the reason why we go in and Nick
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: made some heavy plays tonight. But to do it, to go,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: you know, go through that team, and to do what
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: we did today, I'm just thankful.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: We've heard a lot about the culture that you guys
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: have built inside your organization.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: How big of a factor do you think that is
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: for you guys being where you're right now.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: It happened today because there was moments in that game
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: where you know, honestly, I don't think they were doing
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: anything special.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It's just us. And then, you know, you feel.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: That in a game where it's us that we're making
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the mistakes, and you know, you start getting a little
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: aggravated or getting upset with one another.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: But I think what we've built made.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Us all come back down to ground zero and go
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: out there and get those stops we need it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I'm sure this.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Feeling would be the same regardless of who you'd be.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: To get to the super Bowl. By there, there has
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to be there has to be there's to be a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: little more juice here.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Beating the team that drafted even then traded you away
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: and be able to get to the super Bowl against.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Them now for sure, Like.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: It's a lot that I would like to say, but
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: God's granted us this humbly granted us this win.

  Speaker 2: he referenced week eleven we so publicly and so forcefully
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: defended him the weight And what did you see that

  Speaker 2: you felt that you would you would come through like
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: this eventually?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Oh God that that Like the next day, Sam was
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: back in the early Sam was getting everything that needed
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: to be fixed from that week before. But Sam's impressed
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: me by like he can just move forward, Like like
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: he was saying, you know in the earlier in the week,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: He's gonna let it rip.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: That's what he's gonna do.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Like Sam trust his arm, he trusts his ability, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: we trust Sam. So all you got to do is
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: give Sam, you know, that encouragement or whatever the case.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Me let him know that we got his back in
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: he's able to lead us to a super Bowl after reexpenalty.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You guys are able to get the big stuff fourth down.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Just what was your reaction to your guys' ability to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: be resilient to come up with that future stuff.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I started, honestly in that moment laughing, because it's like, bro,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: we we worked on these depth sone moments when our
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: backs against the wall. Man, we worked on these moments,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: so I knew we were gonna ride to the occasion.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Just a matter of who was gonna do it?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Kind of crisis management would you doing in that moment
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: on the sideline?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Arbly, honestly, it wasn't much.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Guys were a little mad for like two three twenty
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: thirty seconds, and then once I started getting a little mad,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: we all kind of calmed down a little bit, so
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: it was able to just kind of ease everything through.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You know, you know Cooper Cuff for a while.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Now, for him to come through with or down catches
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: a touchdown his four team just was like seeing him
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: be that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I'm most most happy for cool Man. I know I've
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: been in that position. I've been there, I've left that place.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I know everything he went through. I know this feels
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: good for him, and I'm happy.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I'm happy we were able to do it. Or do you.
• 4:49

• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I think it gets us confidence knowing that one that
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: we can beat them to like it was good. Those
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: plays happened, so that therefore, when we you know, prepare
• 5:05

• 5:09
  Speaker 3: we kind of know what we got to stop, what
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: we need to get better on.
