0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>some football. It's an exciting time to be a Buffalo Bill,

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm a fan of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome everybody

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to Week fourteen of the Sean McDermott Show, presented by

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Connor and Farrish, your workers camp Attorney, Sean, thanks as

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>always for joining us. You're coming off a huge win

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>on Monday Night football against the forty nine Ers was

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the first Monday night football win for the Bill since

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety nine. What's that mean for you and what

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.199
<v Speaker 1>you've built here in Buffalo? Well, truly, the next step

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Steve I thought the guys came out did a great job,

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>well crafted game plans by the coordinators and the players executed.

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I saw a team that played aggressive yet disciplined, and

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what you gotta be able to do.

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Those two have to work hand in hand well. Coach

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Josh obviously he's a big part of that and is

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>coming off another incredible performance. It was his third game

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>this season with four passing touchdowns. He became the second

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in NFL history with three games in one season

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>with three hundred and seventy five yards passing or more,

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns and a passer rating of one thirty year better.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>This time he did it on the national stage on

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Monday Night Football. So how much do you think he

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>deserves to be in the MVP discussion. Yeah, I think

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>when you look at his season and totality at this point,

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>all games to in and he's really taking the next step.

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>He's written the next chapter in his book and his

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>development in his career, and that's the credit to him

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and the coaches and the work that he's put in.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, there's always bumps in the road for

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>young players in particular that position and what that position

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>has to balance. But I really thought he really let

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the game come to him and yet was in control

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of the game the whole time, and I thought that

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>was indicative of his week of preparation and what he's

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>been doing most of the year. Well, you can't mention

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the game Josh had without talking about Cole Beasley. He

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>had one hundred and thirteen yards in the first half

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and finished with a career high one thirty and that

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>was his fourth game this season of over one hundred

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>yards and it keeps him on pace for the best

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>season of his career. How do you describe the chemistry

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>between Josh and Cole and how it has developed over

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the last two years. Well, it's been huge. When you

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>have an instinctive player like Cole in the slot that

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>can do things, and then the report that those two

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>have built, you know there's time to involved in the

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>passing game, so to be on the same page, to

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>be on the same page from a mccle issue also

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>is huge and Coals just made some big time plays

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>for us all season long. Release Now on the other

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball, you got another game clinching interception

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>out of your all pro corner Tavius White. It was

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>his third interception of the year, all of which have

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>come in the fourth quarter. Turdavius now has sixteen second

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>half takeaway since twenty seventeen. It leads all NFL defenders.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>And now his game has developed, even now that he's

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>coming off a Pro Bowl campaign last year. Talk about

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>that development, well, I think the cool part about Trey

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and what he's been able to do is, you know,

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>we obviously assigned him to a long term contract the

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>start of the season. There just on the end of

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>training camp, and the cool part about Trey is that

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>he has not taken his foot off the gas at all,

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and if anything, he works harder, And I think that's

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>great when you're committed to developing your craft at a

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>high level and that growth mindset, I think it's just

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>awesome because it also speaks to our locker room and

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.839
<v Speaker 1>the other young players around him as well. You can't

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>talk about the leaders on the defense without bringing up

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Micah Hyde. Hyde had a game high twelve tackles. He

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>had a huge interception that he returned down inside the

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>five yard line, and he and Jordan Poor you get

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of praise as the backbone of your secondary

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>let alone your entire defense. But what specifically does Mica

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>bring to your locker room. Well, Mike is a positive

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>guy with a lot of good energy and his positional flexibility.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>I think he does a great job. He's one of

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>my guys that I always look to to get the

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.559
<v Speaker 1>pulse of the locker room, the pulse of our football team,

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and he's shooting me straight and that's great. He's just

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>a mature young man and it's been really fun to

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>watch him develop on and off the field since he's

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>come to Buffalo a few years ago. Your defense also

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 1>got a key player back this last week. Matt Milano

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>was back in the lineup. But now aj Klein still

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>played a huge role for you against the forty nine ers.

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>But what did you see from Matt in his return

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and how did that play into the performance of your

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>entire linebacker group as a whole. Good to see Matt

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>back out there. He gives us some good juice, and

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>he's an athlete and he's a guy that plays the

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>game extremely fast and physical. I think he's a tough

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>guy to go up against from an offensive standpoint, and

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>the guys love them. The guys like having them back

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and certainly was very high on what A. J. Klein's

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>done as well. So I just love the unselfish approach

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 1>by both of those two young men and how they

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>approached us last week. Coach, you're now nine and three,

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you got a one game lead over the Dolphins in

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the AFC East, You have four games left, and if

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you think back to the goals you set in the offseason,

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>how does it compare with where you expected to be

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 1>in December. Yeah, they're all the goals are still there

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>for us. We haven't accomplished them yet, they're still there,

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>so they're still meet on the bone as far as

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that goes. Steve and I know our players are right

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>now trying to get ourselves ready for the Steelers, a

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>big time opponent coming in here and a team that

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:40.559
<v Speaker 1>has one of the best, if not the best, record

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, and so it'd be a big challenge

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 1>for us. But I know our team is just focused

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>on improving every week and that's all we can say

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>right now. Thanks, Coach. We'll catch up with you later

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>in the show to get your final thoughts on your

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>upcoming match with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Shopping Wood is presented

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>by Saint Bonaventure University, the official education provider of the

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills. Welcome back to the Sean McDermot Show in

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>his time now to break down the film of another

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>edition of Chopping Wood with our good buddy Eric Wood. Eight.

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.039
<v Speaker 1>The Bills hadn't won on Monday Night since nineteen ninety nine,

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and Josh came out and lit up the forty nine

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Ers defense for three hundred and seventy five yards and

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>four tds. It felt like a statement game from him

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>in the offense. What did you see from Josh through

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the air. Yeah, Josh had an excellent night and he

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>really spread the ball around Grey Brian day Ball did

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>a great job of mixing in some easy completions and

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>throws down the field. And as we look at the tape,

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be able to break it down and show

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bills fans exactly what they were doing. But Cole

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Beasley had a monster first half with one hundred and

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>thirteen yards, which was a career high for him. They

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>got him involved early with his thirty one yard or

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>on the first drive. Cole Beasley all year against the

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>defense has been absolutely legal. Here the Bills used two

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>vertical routes and Cole Beasley does a great job of

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>finding us the zone. Josh buys a little bit of

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>time in the pocket, actually moves to his left on

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>this play and delivers a great ball down the field.

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>And when you're missing guys like John Brown, you need

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>guys like Dave Davis to step up, and he did

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that here on this night, twenty two yard or on

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>second and twelve. So this played the Bills us some

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>play action. And this might be one of the best

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>throws I've ever seen Josh Allen Bay. He throws it

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>over the underneath linebackers into a very tiny window in

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the secondary of the forty nine ers. And I love

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Josh's reaction after he lets go of the ball, almost

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>like a guy trying to make a put and it's breaking.

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>He has that reaction when he throws it in. Just

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>an unbelievable throw. Yeah. And so with just under three

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>minutes to play in the first half, they convert on

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a fourth down and then hoole what looks like an

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>RPO to Dawson Knox for what looks like an easy touchdown. Yeah.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Touchdowns are forward to manufacture of the red zone of

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, and Brian Davill all year has done a

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>great job of scripting different plays. We have not seen

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>this concept that all this year from Bills in the

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>red zone, and they use hard play action. Dobson Knobs

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>comes across the formation. It's a tough look on the

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>forty nine ers defense, and the receivers on the outside

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>do a phenomenal job blocking as well. Okay, let's fast

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>forward to the third quarter and look at some great

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>play designs by day Ball to get Josh an easy touchdown.

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>This one is to Isaiah McKenzie. So this is a

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>man beater concept and the Bills use a little bit

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of a rug round a legal pick seam on the outside.

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Gabe Davis does a great job of rubbing the defender,

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>not blocking the defender, but getting in his way, and

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>isa McKenzie gets in for a very easy score. Josh

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>does a great job just throwing a catchable ball because

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>those are the layups that you often see quarterbacks miss

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>at times. Yeah, and then once again in the fourth quarter,

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>they got the game clinching touchdown from Gabe Davis. He

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>was wide open for this twenty eight yarder and wow,

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 1>hard to scheme up and play more open than this. Yeah.

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>On this play, if think Josh Allen Tott Richard Sherman

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>guessing and Richard Shermans one of the smartest, best defensive

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>acts in the NFL. But Josh does a great job

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>of holding him with a tiny pump fake and gave

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Davis runs right by him for another easy fourth of

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the Bills and just caps off a night where Josh

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Allen was on absolute fire. Yeah, it was great to

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>see the Bills light it up in primetime. Now let's

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>see what Josh can do against the Steelers top ranked

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>defense on Sunday night. Eric, thanks for this, yep, Thanks

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Steve Mattie glab Here this week's game preview. It's the

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>nine and three AFC East leaders and the Buffalo Bills

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 1>hosting the eleven and one AFC North leaders in the

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh Steelers for a Sunday night football matchup. Steelers quarterback

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberger is in his seventeenth season and the Bills

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>are seeking their first win against Big Ben. The Steelers

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>defense is tough to score on, only allowing seventeen point

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>six points per game, which is the lowest in the NFL.

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>They forced turnovers and get to the quarterback more than

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 1>any team, ranking first with forty four sacks, sixteen interceptions,

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and twenty three takeaways. Buffalo's offense ranks tenth, averaging three

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy eight point eight yards per game, and

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>are the best at converting third downs, doing at forty

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>nine point three percent of the time. Josh Allen is

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the second player since at least nineteen fifty to have

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>three games with at least three hundred and seventy five

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>passing yards, three touchdowns, and a one thirty passer rating

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>in the same season. He has just one touchdown away

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 1>from tying Hall of Famer Jim Kelly's team record of

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty four total touchdowns for the most in the single season.

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Since Week seven, Buffalo's defense has the second most interceptions

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>with eight and the fourth most takeaways with twelve. They've

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 1>also totaled nineteen sacks in the last six games. The

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Stealers lead the series against the Bills with sixteen wins

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and ten losses. That's this week's game preview, Steve back

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to you. Thanks as always, Maddie, coach. You're coming off

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>a big win in prime time and now you have

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the eleven and one Pittsburgh Steelers coming to town for

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night football. Do you think this game is going

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a good indicator maybe of how close you

0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>are to being that championship caliber football team voys hoped

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>your team would be. Well, it's really another opportunity for

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>us to grow as a team, and what a cool

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>experience this will be preparing for this week's game, Like

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>every week, you know, they're all the same, We try

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and measure them all the same. We have a lot

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>of respect for this opponent, you know, we know that

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>they're coming off of a of a heartbreaking loss in

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 1>terms of their season, and one that I'm sure that

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.319
<v Speaker 1>they're going to want to get back on the right track.

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>So I've been there before, being undefeated in a season

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and know the pressure that that comes with, and so

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I know what happens after that game as well. And

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>so we've got to be on ourself on our game

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>this week and continue to grow and improve and be

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>on our a game knowing that this is going to

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>be one of those games that it's going to come

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>down to the fourth quarter. Yeah, last year you came

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 1>back in the fourth quarter to beat the Steelers on

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Sunday Night football to clinch a playoff spot. What's different

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>about this year's matchup between these two teams, Well, eight

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>year is different. You know, they're in a different position.

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>We're in a different position as well, And I think

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.079
<v Speaker 1>our team is a different position from a maturity standpoint,

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>from an experience stand point more than anything, in particular

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>with Josh's experience now. And you know, I think as

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>an organization, we're in different position as well, and that's

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that's a good thing. Thanks coach, good luck this week

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>against Pittsburgh. We're gonna be back next week to recap

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.400
