It's the greatest 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:18.319 thing since a sweet gesture by Joe Burrow. I haven't 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.640 gone back to watch the telecast yet, but there were 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.640 apparently a lot of shots during the game of Jake 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.920 Browning's family watching the game from a luxury suite. Jake 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.360 made it clear after the game that it wasn't his 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:32.720 luxury suite. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.880 It is not my box. I did not buy that 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:40.200 in the preseason. Very expensive. So Joe Burrow was nice 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.360 enough to give them some tickets so they didn't have 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.880 to sit up in the cold. You know, we're off 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.160 in California, so I used to it. They're not, so 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.520 I'm sure they were much more excited in the box. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.880 But it's awesome. I'm here, I was. I think it 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.560 was two friends from back home, my girlfriend and then 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:04.800 my brother and my sister and boyfriend. So it's always 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.760 nice to have people there, and it's mostly nice after 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.360 you win to and we'll. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:10.480 Go grab dinner or something someone. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.160 And it was a very kind gesture by Joe Burrow 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.400 to invite Browning's friends and family to watch the game 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.800 from his luxury suite. And by the way, it was 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:24.040 Joe Burrow's birthday on Sunday. Now, he and Jake Browning 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.600 are both twenty seven years old Browning is about eight 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.800 months older. Now time for the radio replays from Sunday's 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:39.880 win over the Colts. It is a chilly December day 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:45.600 here in Cincinnati, thirty seven degrees with cloudy gray skies overhead, 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.520 in other words, football weather. As the six and six 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.079 Bengals look to stay alive in the playoff hunt as 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.360 they host the seven and five Indianapolis Colts, And it 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.880 is time for the big skin to fly here in 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.440 the jungle. Rookie Chase Brown checks in for the first 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.240 time in running back after nine carries for sixty one 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.320 yards last week. They fake it to him. Now they 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.040 screen it to him, all sorts of running room and 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.160 blockers in front. He's flying to the thirty, the twenty. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.800 The ten cuts back makes a man miss half the 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:28.720 five touchdown Bengals. Chase Brown showing his speed as he 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.120 flies down the field for the Bengals touchdown. Matt Gay, 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.640 who won a Super Bowl ring against the Bengals with 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.160 the Rams a couple of years ago, in his first 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.800 year with the Colts, the highest paid kicker in the 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.040 NFL after signing a free agent deal. This kick is 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:50.360 up and it pits the upright and bounce his back. Wow, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.760 he missed it from thirty eight yards away, and the 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.680 Bengals remain seven points ahead. Joe Mixon back in at 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.440 running back Charlie Joe in a wide receiver. Browning throws 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.040 into screen, caught by Mixing. Runs to the fifty, cutting 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.040 back to the forty, still running at the thirty high, 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.520 stepping to the twenty, and tackled at the sixteen yard 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:19.640 line by Rodney Thomas. The screen game is killing Indianapolis. 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.960 That's a forty four yard game. Browning back at the five. 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.000 In the shotgun. Mixon ships to his left. It's a 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:33.159 handoff Mixing stumbling forward, touchdown Bengals. Joe Mixon heads to 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.040 the back of the end zone and begins a dance 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.880 for the fans looking on. He scored three touchdowns in 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.400 the last two games, and the Bengals have taken a 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.359 thirteen to nothing lead. Linebacker Zyear Franklin is a fullback. 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.840 Zach Boss lined up behind him. He's carried on the 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.920 last six plays. They fake to him, They throw into 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:58.919 the end zone, and it is a touchdown. Moe Ellie 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.960 Cox held on to the football. It looked for a 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.440 second like he might have juggled it, but he held 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.080 on for the td got behind Logan Wilson and the 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.560 playworks for Indianapolis. Second and four. They snap it to Browning, 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:16.080 Jake looking throwing and it is intercepted. It's being run 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.760 back by Ronnie Harrison. He's going to take it to 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.719 the house. A pick six and a touchdown for Indy 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.600 Browning in the gun chase brown to his right. Browning 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.040 has the ball, He's back to throw. The Fires caught 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:34.719 it the five, Tanner Hudson into the end zone. Touchdown Bengals. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:40.640 Tanner Hudson with his first ever NFL touchdown catch and 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.719 the Bengals are back in the lead. On second down 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.080 and nine, Browning with a deep drop. He's gonna float 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.800 it high end, got him t Higgins makes it over 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.440 the shoulder catch on the far sideline, got his feet 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.359 down in bounds and gets tackled at the twenty four 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:02.320 of Indianapolis, a forty six yard bom Darryl Baker was 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:06.159 nearby as t stumbled down after making the catch. Second 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.160 down in goal, inches away. The Bengals already up by 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.120 seven now, Browning moves under center. He has Mixing five 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.760 yards behind him. Browning will try to sneak it in, 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.520 Mixing shuts him in the back into the end zone. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:25.520 Touchdown Bengals and Cincinnati has a two TD lead. Here 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.839 comes the punt by Robbins, very very high, and we've 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.560 got a muff. The Bengals fall on top of it 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:38.080 at the thirteen yard line. Bengals ball as Isaiah McKenzie 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.440 colliding with his own guy as he was trying to 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:46.200 make a fair catch dj Ivy down at the bottom 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.640 of the pile to recover for Cincinnati. Minshew back to throw, 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:54.080 looking left, hit from behind Bob Hendrickson, the ball shops 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:59.600 to the ground. The Bengals heavens, yes, he'll j Hill 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.680 with a football. Here we go, fourth down and fifteen, 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.880 the Colts at their own forty one. Minshew back to 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:12.000 throw here trace got him Hey sacksim and that should 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:16.200 be coffin now. Bam, bam bam. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:17.200 And Trey Henderson. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:23.080 You affected two people, the left tackle Raymond and the 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:27.120 quarterback Minshew. Boy, what a game Trey Henderson had. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.720 Two weeks ago, after a loss dropped their record to 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.480 five and six, many people gave up the Cincinnati Bengals 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.920 for dead. Well, guess what you can hear a noise 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.520 in the background. Thump thump, yeah, thump thump, the heartbeat 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.200 very much still beating. The Bengals improved their playoff chances 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:49.480 as they climb above five hundred with a thirty four 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:54.440 to fourteen win over the Indianapolis Colts. Here are the 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.920 final stats for Jake Browning. He completed eighteen out of 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.480 twenty four passes, that's seventy five five percent for two 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.600 hundred and seventy five yards with two touchdowns and one 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.640 interception for a passer rating of one twenty two point seven. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.800 He added a one yard touchdown run and those numbers 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.880 probably would have been even better if not for a 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.840 bizarro situation early in the fourth quarter where Jake had 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.400 to leave the game and jog to the locker room 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.920 because of cramping in his right hand. AJ McCarron had 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.800 to take his place for five offensive snaps. Here's the 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.520 explanation from Browning thumb. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.120 Four armed, just saw started. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.960 Cramport's thumb was just locking up on that could throw 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.680 and then Kane got an IV AND's fine, but yeah, 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.240 it's pretty dumb. But just needed to drink more water 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.840 and collect rots, I guess, and I think sometimes when 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.880 it's cold, you just hunted thirsty. So yeah, I guess 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.280 that's probably the main takeaway from the games. Hydrate better. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:00.400 I asked t Higgins about it after the game. Jake 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.400 came back in after being in the locker room. It 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.840 looked like he was maybe joking around about what happened. 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:05.679 What did he say? 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:06.520 This is cramping? 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.600 He said, you need to drink water. That's why you 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.040 drink water. Eh, you you right, you better drink some water. 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.880 Cramping and your thumb is I'm not sure. 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.280 I'm not sure I'd ever heard of thumb cramping before. 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:17.920 It is what it is. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.360 Man, I'm just glad it was a series, and I'm 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:20.000 glad he's all right. 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.840 I know you had faith in him, but did you 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.800 honestly think he could play at this level in back 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:27.560 to back games? 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:27.920 Sure? 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.120 I mean the confidence I mean because he came in 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:35.760 training camp playing like a start in QB. Man, I mean, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.280 this is the tip of iceberg for him. You know 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.000 what I'm saying. He ain't doing nothing but showing the 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.040 world that what he's capable of. And you're also happy 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.640 for him to come in and leave this offense the 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.400 way he's been doing and you hope he would keep 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:47.240 going for the rest of the season. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.440 For the second straight game, Browning got a lot of 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.120 help from the Bengals running attack. At Cincinnati, ran for 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.760 one hundred and eleven yards and had gains of fifty four, 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.880 forty five and twenty five yard guards on screen passes. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.840 Joe Mixon had one hundred and twenty five combined rushing 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.319 and receiving yards, and Chase brown added one oh five. 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.360 Here's mixing two weeks ago. A lot of people at 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.840 giving the Bengals up for dead. How do you feel 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.440 about where things stand right now? Considering how you've played 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:19.480 the last couple of weeks. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:20.720 I feel really good. 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.920 I think that everybody been doing the hell of a job, 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.320 you know, playing together and everybody just you know, making 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.240 plays and being in the right place is when they 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.280 need to be. So we just got to keep building 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.160 on that and uh, you know, getting better. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.560 It seemed clear that you guys had confidence and faith 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.839 in Jake Browning, but considering how well he's played, has 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.840 that been elevated the last couple of weeks. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.480 Yeah, I mean Jake's been very silent, and that's what 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.520 we need him to be in order to win these games, 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.760 and I think that you know, by him doing that 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.080 playing solid football, I think everything else. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:55.760 As long as our defense. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.480 Playing the ass off like they are, we're gonna be 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.320 in great shame. So we just got to you know, 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.440 Keith feen of each other playing complimentary football and everything else. 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:03.360 Don't take care of himself. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:05.360 See the screen game. 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.240 Yeah, well, basically we knew that. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.560 You know, they like the panic drop a lot, and uh, 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.520 the linebackers was going playing the run downhill real hard 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.000 like they did, and uh, you know they they was. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.240 I guess Chase had a big run last week, and 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.600 we basically complimented that run. You know, Ohio looks and 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.240 they played the run and then the past is wide 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.240 open and he made a hell of a running catch. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:32.840 How about on your screen? 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.240 Uh, I can't say it was the same concept, but 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.600 you know, coach doubted up at the right time, and uh, 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.400 you know, lineman making blocks downfield, and you know, we're 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.520 just trying to do whatever we could have to make. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:47.600 Plays and get yardists. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.840 You've had back to back games now with more than 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.760 one hundred yards of combined rushing and receiving yards, and 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.559 you look fresh. I mean it looks like week three 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.000 as opposed to approaching mid December. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.360 Yeah, I felt like I'm only getting strong. Has the 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.000 season been going. I mean, I think, you know, by 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.000 Chase coming in and whoever it is, you know, coming 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.480 in and making plays, I think it's also a great 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.480 thing because when you know, they come in, they can't 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.160 just play the pass. So it's been a great thing 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.679 for them to actually come in and do real good 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.320 in the run game. So we just gotta keep it going. 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:25.000 And uh, obviously by us playing U by us running 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.680 play actions and things like that, it's. 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:27.240 Been a great thing. 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.080 So we just gotta keep going, keep building and doing 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.480 whatever we need to do to get the win. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.800 You said, Monday's win reinforce the idea in the locker 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.600 room that we're the Bengals. We're the team that's been 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.800 to the AFC Championship Game each of the last two years. 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:43.360 Was that taking up a notch today? 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:44.720 Oh yeah, definitely. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.079 It's gonna keep It's gonna keep taking ticking up notches, man. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.440 So you know, we just gotta keep living on what 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.959 you know, we believe in and who we are as 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.120 a team, and everything else is gonna take care of itself. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.720 Ingrats on the win. Defensively, the Bengals shut down the 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:05.319 NFL number eight scoring offense. Indy managed one offensive touchdown, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.079 averaged two point six yards on running plays. It had 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.920 a passer rating in the low eighties. Chittabey A Wouje, 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.200 its move back into the starting lightup due to Cam 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:21.880 Taylor BRIT's ankle injury, had five tackles and two pass deflections. Chito, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.920 that was an awesome defensive performance. Those guys has scored 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.439 at least twenty in every game but one. He held 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.319 them to one offensive touchdown today. What did you think 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:30.960 the key was? 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:32.480 We came out here hungry. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.320 You know, it was always about us, you know, And 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.840 I think we're kind of finding the formula right now, 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:41.840 just with the energy manage like all the you know, formasons, alignments, assignments, 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:42.320 all that stuff. 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:43.280 It's really by energy. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.520 And I think we're just really rolling around each other 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.920 and really enjoying playing for one another. And you know, 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.520 when we're when the defense is at our best, that's 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.040 what we're doing. So I just really feel like we're 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.000 starting to hit a stride with our chemistry and it's 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.000 starting to show on the field. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.400 Think you've been excellent for the last couple of weeks, 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.600 do you feel like you're playing as well as ever? 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.680 I feel good, you know, I feel really good. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:02.480 You know. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.079 Obviously opportunity came and you know I had to step up, 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.000 and you know, I always felt like myself. But you know, 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.200 sometimes when you get an assignment during the game, before 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.480 a game, you just it push on a different mindset, 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:14.560 you know what I'm saying. So I've been in that 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.920 mindset the past couple of weeks. Just this is who 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.839 I am, this is what I do. Anyway, So yeah, 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:19.400 I feel good. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.360 Definitely a lot of young guys in this secondary and 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.080 now dj Ivy is getting some opportunities as well. It 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.720 seems to me to bode really well for the future, 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.640 not only how many young guys are playing, but how 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:31.240 well they're playing. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.680 Yeah, I don't think there's any drop off. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.360 I think like we have one of the best I 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.400 don't want to jinx us, but truly like talent wise 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.160 and just loving the game and you know, being on 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.960 top of assignments and stuff. I really think we have 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.480 one of the best corner rooms and our coach too, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.280 you know, have a great corners coach and Chuck Burke. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.200 So I think everybody's seen it, Like whoever's been in 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.080 they've been up to the task, you know. So and 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.360 we have guys who aren't playing around, even Sidney Jones, 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.560 you know, who's been a starter in this league, you know, 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.240 just we have a very good corner bedroom. So I'm 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:01.920 really excited for the young guys in the future of 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:02.920 this team, see what they do. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.520 How would you describe Jake Browning's played the last couple 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:05.920 of weeks. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.920 It's the Jake so not the Lake Show. So I 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.160 described it the Jake Show. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.800 It's been extraordinary. I know everybody in here had faith 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.840 that he could rise to the occasion and play well, 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.480 but that well, yeah. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:21.720 No, I've always believed it. 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.760 I mean it's probably Taper somewhere we're in practice run 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:26.880 when he's making players. I'm just like, that's Jake. You know, 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.480 I've played against him in Washington. He was a Heisman 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:30.800 candidate coming. 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:31.000 In the league. 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.920 He's such a knowledgeable guy. You know, he's sits there 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:33.960 with us in the. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.400 dB meetings, you know on Tuesdays, and really you know, 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.400 was talking football with us and stuff like that. Like 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.080 he has the mind for he has the heart for it. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.240 And now he just has the platform to show for it. 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.480 And you know, again we have Joe Burrow, we have 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.400 Jake Browning. I don't know if too many teens and 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.680 agent even stepped in and almost to a touchdown. Sot like, 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.120 we're just blessed, really just top top to bottom in 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:52.040 a lot of position groups. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.640 Did your heart syncavet when he started running toward the 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.720 locker room to have his thumb checked out. 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:57.720 A little bit? 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.440 A little bit, Not gonna lie, but I think even 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.960 just as a brother, you know, but if that's the 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.760 football's football, you know, anything can happen. And in that second, 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.080 it was like, okay, defense, what we know we got 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:08.240 to do? 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:08.640 You know? 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.760 So is this you know, balancing all the highs and 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:12.520 the lows of the game. 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:13.760 I'm very happy that he's healthy. 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.760 Four games left. You guys have put yourselves right back 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:17.200 in the hunt. 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.240 You gotta take a one game at a time, you know, 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.880 keep on one and oh win every day and when 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.880 a game happens again, just have the energy. I think 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.960 we we kind of find the formula. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.800 Find to watch you doing your thing out there. Congrat 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:29.480 on the WAMPP. 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:29.960 Thank you brother. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.320 Wow. Let's hear from head coach Zach Taylor, who spent 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.040 four and a half minutes with Lap after the game. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.680 Twenty point victory over a team that was five and 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.960 one on the road. Every situational, las back, third down, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.400 red zone, you name it. You guys want it and 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:48.080 want to handle it. 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:49.880 Yeah, I mean we challenge our team not to give 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.920 them anything easy. They've capitalized on That's what good football 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.520 teams do. That's why he needs a good team. They've 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.000 capitalized on every opportunity and that's part of this league. 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.520 And our guys today did a great job in the 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.240 second half recapturing their momentum, doing a great job control 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.120 the things we can control and putting these guys away. 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:06.920 And I thought it was a really good performance, particularly 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:07.480 in the second half. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.080 Our team in the two game winning streak. In both games, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.160 the opponent scores fourteen points in two minutes and twenty 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.440 seconds in Jacksonville, in twenty five seconds in this football game, 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.960 you guys just adversity. What's I don't know what that 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.880 definition is. You guys just so resilient they are. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.920 I mean, that's what team has proven time and time again. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.840 If we just keep adding guys that fit that description 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.920 in the locker room and they jump right in the line. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.080 And so you saw a lot of guys step up 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.680 today and make key plays in this game. And that's 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.320 what this locker room is all about. And I was 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:36.960 proud to see all those guys step up. 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.439 Forty two sacks. They came into the game with forty 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:44.480 two sacks, none zero shutout. How good the offensive line played, 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:45.359 to your naked. 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:45.639 Eye, awesome. 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.399 That's a really good defensive line. And our guys responded 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.880 to the challenge the right way. And to keep Jake 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.000 clean like that was impressive. To keep the run game 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.240 going like they did. The screen game was all really 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.639 helpful and so really proud of the job those offensive 0:17:58.640 --> 0:17:59.080 linemen did. 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.080 Game is unbelievable. I mean, your first two screens you 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.159 got over one hundred yards are your first two screens 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.480 in a touchdown? What what is it about the screen game? 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.400 I think we got a lot of variety. The guys 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.240 are understand what to do at all all positions. Jake's 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:14.680 done a good job with the timing of it all 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.280 and and sometimes it's it's it's it's a great job, 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.560 great execution. Sometimes you're catching them in the right look 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:22.199 and that has a lot to do with it too, 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.240 But I thought there was I can picture all the 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.520 screens we hit and guys making key blocks and key timing, 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:29.679 and it was good to see. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.080 Have you ever had your quarterback struggle with the cramp 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:33.600 and his thumb. 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:38.000 No, no, but it is what it is. Man Aj 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:39.600 was ready to step up on a third downs. Not 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.119 fun when it's raining or snowing whatever. It was not 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.399 an ideal situation. But Aj went in there and managed 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.199 it well and was able to get us move in 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.560 a little bit for that field goal and we were 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:50.240 in good shape. 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.600 Yeah, that was unbelieved to go in there stone cold, 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.879 not even throw one warm up. I mean, that's that's 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:55.600 pretty incredible. 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:57.520 Not a fun situation to be in, you know for 0:18:57.720 --> 0:18:59.520 Frey j And so we called a fade route. He 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.640 threw a great row to T for a touchdown. Touch 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:05.040 should have been touchdown, and that's not the way. Great job, Brian, 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.560 So that's just that's just the way it goes sometimes. 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.760 Red zone. Your defense now has held the opponent without 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.480 a point on ten possessions, eight of them coming in. Uh, 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.600
