Speaker 1: Yeah, he picked.

Speaker 3: You out in our pregame show to be the hero

6
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 3: of the game.

7
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Hey, so he did, and I appreciate show. Mike. Mike

8
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: picked you out and said you would deliver to that.

9
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I don't know if I would call myself

10
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: a hero, but I did.

11
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: I did make you know, the the last play, but

12
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: I do appreciate it.

13
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 4: All right now that I'm incredibly embarrassed, Mike, can you

14
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 4: take can you take us to the last play and

15
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 4: just what unfolded?

16
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, I mean we were in two minutes the

17
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: whole way down.

18
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: So I was just kind of on the sideline just watching,

19
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: you know, everybody make plays and it was awesome to

20
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: you know, watch our offense do that. And then, uh,

21
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: once you know, the balls on the one yard line

22
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: and you know, coach O'Brien called that specific personnel to

23
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: get me on the field. I kind of had a

24
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: feeling that he was putting me out there for a

25
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: reason and I was gonna have a chance to make

26
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: a play to ultimately win the game. So when I

27
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: was standing on the sideline that that whole two minute drive,

28
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: I was just telling myself just you know, just stay ready,

29
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: stay ready, stay ready. And ultimately, you know, that was

30
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: that was the play call and had a chance to

31
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: go up and make a play to put us ahead

32
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: with fifteen whatever seconds left.

33
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: And it was a lot of fun.

34
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 4: And we've talked about just your connection with Mac, you know,

35
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: even from when you first agreed to come here. Yeah,

36
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: how significant do you think this just was for him,

37
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: seeing what he's been going through over the course of

38
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 4: the year.

39
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think.

40
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of the talk and stuff that

41
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: happens with him is fair. Honestly, I think he's done

42
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: an unbelievable job kind of blocking all that out, and

43
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: I think he's done unbelievable job internally leading us throughout

44
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: all that adversity. And today, you know, back against the wall,

45
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: and you know, you hear all the talk about us

46
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: with a chance to win the game and we can't

47
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: close and all that kind of stuff, and today, you know,

48
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: we had a chance, and you know, he stood in

49
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: there and you know, delivered play after play after play

50
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: and ultimately, you know, we won the game off of

51
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: a you know, several great plays, but ultimately off of

52
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: you know, a great ball by him, So you know,

53
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 2: really happy for him and you know, just excited for

54
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: this to ultimately, you know, propel us forward.

55
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's too soon right after the game,

56
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 5: but some of the plays in particular from Mac on

57
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 5: that final drive, I'm not sure, like the completion to

58
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: Hunter Henry over the middle. Were you on the sideline

59
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 5: for that?

60
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: Yea, what what?

61
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 5: What would you tell me about what he did well

62
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 5: and how hard a throw that is to make a

63
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 5: play like that, if that's sort of indicative of the

64
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 5: kind of day.

65
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he just he just did a great job in

66
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: crunch time when you know, in the in the biggest

67
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: moments of the game, when when our best was needed,

68
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: he delivered.

69
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: It was that play, it was several plays throughout that drive.

70
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: It was bouncing back from from a turnover you know,

71
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: the series before that, And it's so easy to get

72
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: in that situation, after all the adversity that we've been

73
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: through this season, just be like, oh man, here we

74
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: go again.

75
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: But instead of that, it was like, all right, let's

76
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: go win this thing. So that was that was cool.

77
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: It was cool for me to see it was cool

78
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: for me to be a part of, and it was

79
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: cool you know, for for him this offense to experience

80
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: that because you know, for this season, you know, a

81
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: lot of you know, chatter has been that the offense

82
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: has been the weak link.

83
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: And I mean we had a chance to deliver today.

84
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: We did.

85
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: Hey, So you know, given just how you know the

86
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: offense is struggled recently obviously, how how big was it

87
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 3: for you guys to get off to as fast to

88
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: start as you did?

89
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: Huge? Awesome, it was.

90
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: It was great for you know that first series, you know,

91
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: a couple of explosive plays, you know, just staying ahead

92
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: of the sticks, no negative plays, and ultimately got down there,

93
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: kicked a field goal, came back first play, PEP, got

94
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: an interception, got us back on the field, scored a touchdown,

95
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: turn turn a turnover into points for us. So it

96
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: was awesome, It was it was great, and uh, it

97
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: was you know what we've been talking about doing and

98
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: finally went out there and did.

99
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: It a certain amount of satisfaction just finally kind of

100
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: getting it done after you know, just the struggles.

101
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: I never yeah, absolutely, but you know, this is just

102
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: one game, and you know, one step and that's that's

103
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: a really good football team over there. So to be

104
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: able to you know, come away with a win against Buffalo,

105
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: I've been playing against them for my six year now.

106
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: You know, I played him when I was you know,

107
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: with my former team, and that is a really good

108
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: football team and uh for the last couple of years,

109
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: you know, they've they've really run this division. So that's

110
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: a really good football team. That's a tough game, and uh,

111
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: really happy to be able to come out with a win.

112
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: Your teammate, Pharaoh Brown seems like every time he touches

113
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 3: the ball, something big happens.

114
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: How has it been seeing him come along? Yeah, it's

115
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,119
Speaker 1: been awesome.

116
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: I mean I think he's got like five catches for

117
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: like feels like a thousand yards. Like it feels like

118
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: every time he touches the ball, like you said, you

119
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: know their space and he and he's making plays.

120
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: So happy for him, and I think the thing that.

121
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: That, you know, the reason you know a lot of

122
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: this stuff has happening is because he he goes in

123
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: there and he blocks he blocks his tailoffs. So you know,

124
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: when then when he's in there, maybe not getting the

125
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: attention that you know, some of the other guys are

126
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: in terms of in in the coverage. So you know,

127
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: because of his abilities as a blocker, it's opening up,

128
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of stuff for him in the

129
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: past game.

130
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: He might just I have to ask.

131
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 4: It's National tight Ends Day, So do you have a

132
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: comment about getting the game winning touchdown on the Holiday?

133
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? I got in the huddle and I was like

134
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: Mac's National tight Ends. They thrown the ball and he

135
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: was like, all right, cool, So.

136
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: Now that actually didn't happen, but I do appreciate him

137
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: throwing the ball. But uh yeah, obviously you know this

138
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 2: kind of you know holiday that's been brought up by Kittle,

139
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: and you know everybody kind of loves it and celebrates it.

140
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 2: So it was cool. It was cool to be able

141
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: to go out there and you know, make that play

142
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: and then do the world's fastest and probably most embarrassing gritty.

143
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: Uh So that was that was fun. I can't wait

144
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: to see a replay of that.

145
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: And uh see all the mentions of me on my

146
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: Instagram of me getting just absolutely harassed by fans.

147
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: What's that? Yeah, I kept the ball. I kept the ball.

148
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: Honestly, I've been doing that let alone. I mean game

149
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: winner and all that. I always keep all the balls

150
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: I score and I hang him up my house. So

151
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: uh yeah, so that's another one to the wall.

152
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 1: Our guest
