Speaker 1: And it wasn't one of your better games. But then
Speaker 1: that final drive you really locked in and made a
Speaker 1: number of plays. Was it hard to block out kind
Speaker 1: of the the early part of the game and focus
Speaker 1: in that final sequence to that final drive? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's you know, obviously plays that you think about as
Speaker 1: the game goes on, like, man, I could have been
Speaker 1: better here, I could have hit that guy who was open.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta just be better on third down.
Speaker 1: Like all that kind of stuff can run through your mind.
Speaker 1: But man, it's a testament to our team because the
Speaker 1: defense gotta stop at the end field goal kicker miss
Speaker 1: and it's like we had what we wanted right in
Speaker 1: front of us, and so you have to clean the slate.
Speaker 1: You have to have a clean mind and and not
Speaker 1: try to force anything. You know, get take what the
Speaker 1: defense gives you and find a way. Man, we had
Speaker 1: time on the clock, So it's not like you gotta
Speaker 1: be you gotta be a superhero, make a play or
Speaker 1: anything else. Do with the with the what we call
Speaker 1: the quarterback pack tells you and go through the progressions
Speaker 1: and and find a way. Wasn't as precise as it
Speaker 1: normally is. Was the raiding an issue for Yeah, I think,
Speaker 1: I mean early on. You know, obviously I put on it.
Speaker 1: I put on the glove for the first drive it
Speaker 1: was coming down and then it sprinkled, so I took
Speaker 1: it off. So I was still trying to sort of
Speaker 1: figure out what I wanted to do, and I was
Speaker 1: sort of fed up with the glove, so I just
Speaker 1: obviously was thrown like I normally do. And yeah, there was
Speaker 1: some some times where I'm dropping back balls a little
Speaker 1: wet from the grass and uh yeah, sort of affected
Speaker 1: some macracy and stuff. But dude, that's football, So I
Speaker 1: gotta be better in that area. What was clicking on
Speaker 1: that final drive that didn't click throughout most of the
Speaker 1: rest of the game, man, I think, I mean, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I think I was just
Speaker 1: able to go through progressions and and like I said,
Speaker 1: get to the checkdown efficiently and and move the chains
Speaker 1: and stay up rather than get behind. Obviously we got
Speaker 1: to a third down, BA was to clutch on it
Speaker 1: and made a great play, and you need that throughout
Speaker 1: a drive. But you know, I think early on in
Speaker 1: the game, there was just moments where you know, the
Speaker 1: checkdown was there and and I missed and I was
Speaker 1: missing the checkdowns, and so you know when their defense
Speaker 1: did a good job with playing soft, you know, keeping
Speaker 1: everything in front of them, sort of taking away our
Speaker 1: shots and stuff. And as a quarterback man, you got
Speaker 1: to be efficient and hit the checkdowns. And so at
Speaker 1: the end I was able to do that. O line
Speaker 1: did a great job, boys did a great job and
Speaker 1: getting open and we found a way less stressful. You know,
Speaker 1: have big leads and things like that going to the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you know, to get a comeback win like this.
Speaker 1: Was it important for you to get one of those
Speaker 1: under your belt? And how can it be? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean I think it is important. You know, earlier this
Speaker 1: year we had games like Cleveland and Minnesota and Cincinnati
Speaker 1: at one point, like you know, you're down and you
Speaker 1: got to find a way. It's fourth quarter to the NFL,
Speaker 1: and then obviously we're in the postseason now, so we
Speaker 1: were all like, all right, this is it, you know,
Speaker 1: this is our season, and so for us to capitalize
Speaker 1: like that was huge for all of us and then
Speaker 1: obviously for myself as a quarterback, like it's good for
Speaker 1: confidence and all that, but we have too many good
Speaker 1: players man on this team, so many players that are
Speaker 1: difference makers, and we got a great defense, and so
Speaker 1: for us to not find a way it wasn't it's
Speaker 1: not right. So for us to finally have a game
Speaker 1: like this and pull through at the end was huge
Speaker 1: for all of us. So, yeah, go back to the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game and Kylie's check actually got a little
Speaker 1: bit emotional about it in the locker room talking about it.
Speaker 1: So for you, what does it mean to kind of
Speaker 1: get another current at the NFC Championship. Yeah, man, it's
Speaker 1: a It's been a fast year. You know, obviously it
Speaker 1: didn't end how we wanted it to last year, but
Speaker 1: you know, we've figured it one week at a time.
Speaker 1: You know, we were all in this week. Green Bay
Speaker 1: is a great team, and so to be able to
Speaker 1: pull through and finish that for us to get back
Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship. You know, obviously, I think guys
Speaker 1: are healthy for the most part after this game, and
Speaker 1: and you know, we we want it. You know, we've
Speaker 1: been thinking about it. It's been sort of in the
Speaker 1: back of our minds, like last year we had a
Speaker 1: team to do it, and you know, we feel like
Speaker 1: obviously we didn't have a real opportunity at it after
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks got hurt in that game. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we're really excited for it, but we're gonna take
Speaker 1: it one day at a time, find out who we
Speaker 1: play tomorrow, and be ready to roll for it. Earlier,
Speaker 1: I talked to Junior Bryant yesterday. He spoke about the
Speaker 1: identity of his team and being that he talked about
Speaker 1: the weather, said, exmpose a prop for you guys, but
Speaker 1: he thought that you guys had the identity to push
Speaker 1: to any adversity. Is that kind of the sentiments that
Speaker 1: you guys are echoing right now in the locker room.
Speaker 1: That how you guys feel knowing that Junior Bryant or
Speaker 1: Poma Night or says that about you, That what you
Speaker 1: guys see each other one hundred percent. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: like I said, it's the NFL, It's football. You know,
Speaker 1: they have to deal with it too. You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's not just our team's gonna go through it. It's
Speaker 1: everybody who's on the field. So at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, man, I'm so excited and proud that, you know,
Speaker 1: we we got it done and in all aspects, the
Speaker 1: defense did their thing when it mattered most offensive at
Speaker 1: the end. Special teams did a great job. So for us,
Speaker 1: it's like, man, it's foot ball, Weather's gonna happen, and
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way and we did. So that's
Speaker 1: like the character of this team. That's what we stand for.
Speaker 1: And and we all got each other's back. You know
Speaker 1: it's not always pretty, but man, we got each other's back.
Speaker 1: We got some real love in this locker room. And uh,
Speaker 1: everyone wants to play for each other. So yeah, the
Speaker 1: middle of that last drive, where are you trying to
Speaker 1: put that? And what kind of catched he on the
Speaker 1: third down? Yeah, I saw it was man, I saw that.
Speaker 1: You know, the middle of the field is open and that's
Speaker 1: where he was going. He did a great job of
Speaker 1: getting inside leverage and making his break. Obviously it was
Speaker 1: tight coverage, and you know, for me it was like
Speaker 1: I just tried to put it out in front of
Speaker 1: him and and have it just be him be able
Speaker 1: to get it, and he did. He did a great
Speaker 1: job of getting underneath it and not let the ball
Speaker 1: hit the ground. So you know, Ba's baller man. Proud
Speaker 1: of him. Why he's been so good all season honestly,
Speaker 1: just the play like that's the sort of how the
Speaker 1: play calls go. Man, It's not like we're gonna get
Speaker 1: bea so many touches or anything. If it presents itself,
Speaker 1: it presents itself. But you know, I think, like I said,
Speaker 1: green Bay did a good job. It was just you know,
Speaker 1: keep and everything in front of him. Ba is a
Speaker 1: guy that can make explosive plays, and we haven't dialed
Speaker 1: up for those kinds of plays. And like I said,
Speaker 1: green Bay sorter just made me go to the checkdown
Speaker 1: pretty quick and it did a good job with covering Ba.
Speaker 1: But Ba also got opened on some plays that I
Speaker 1: think I could hit him, and then obviously at the
Speaker 1: end we were able to connect. Well. So that's that's
Speaker 1: the game. Thanks guys,
