<v Speaker 1>make that play and make that decision. What's going through

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>your mind if you can go to the line of

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>scrimmat chair, you snap and you roll out there. Um,

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>really just reading body language, it's really you know, there's

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>two routes, Um, Golden's primary, So it's really just you know,

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>let him win and you know that's that's that's really

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>a simple play. And he did a great job of

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>really selling his route, hesitation and getting out and he's

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>got great hands as you can see, and he made

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of big plays for tonight. Was it the

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>same play from the from the mac with touchdown? Uh?

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>Similar but different. It's not the same one, but it's

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>some similar concept with just a you know, a route

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>working on verse man and getting out of the break

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to the team in the huddle on that prior to

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that final drive. I mean, it's like we always talk about,

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, just staying in the moment. That's been the

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I've been focusing on. That's what we've

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>been focusing on. Um, you know, not you know, it

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>was a crazy game. Um, that's a tremendous team. Um.

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>You know playing here, this is a crazy place to play.

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you know, our defensive an amazing job and

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I really keeping us in it. You know, the first

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>half was you know, we struggled on offense. I struggled

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>through a couple of picks. Um. But you know, the

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>last drive was really just stay in the moments, play

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the play, Let's just keep going, let's march. Um. We

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to do anything too crazy. We just need

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to play. And we were able to settle down the

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>second half and make some plays, and you know, as

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>a huge team win for us. You stay yourself at

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>any point and you're in this high pressure situation that

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>I've been there before. I did this last year on

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the biggest stage. You know, this is not not not

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>really that. More so, just what I learned on those

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>stages is just how to calm myself in a chaotic

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>momentum when there's you know, from the outside world, it's

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>a ton of pressure and just really simplifying in my head,

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>get and then the huddle, looking at the guys that

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I trust, Um know that it's all on the line

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>for us and we're just gonna get the job done. Um.

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just belief in one another. So UM, that's just

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>from you know, being around these guys, having the relationship. Um,

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's what wins games in the fourth quarter is

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>if we talk about brotherhood, I'm going to work every

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>single day. Uh. You know, the game wasn't going great

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>in the first half offensively, but our defense was keeping

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>us in and they just kept coming to silence. We

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>got you, we got you, We're gonna get you. The

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>ball back and there was never and I always talk

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>about like they never turned, They never you know, get upset.

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 1>They just had our back and it was ultimately a

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>great team. Wind you have any flashbacks to your first

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>playoff team when you left the field with the lead

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>and then the big return and the game when he

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>feels yeah, I mean there's definitely some similarities there. Um,

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that definitely came in my mind a little bit. But um,

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, we were fortunate. Um. Parky's an amazing kicker.

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>He's one of the best in the league. And I

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 1>said it earlier. You know, he makes that ninety nine

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>out of one hundred times. We were just fortunate that

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that was the one he missed. When you're in the huddle,

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>in that situation, that the other guys in the huddles

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>see you call them and see you kind of composed

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and not showed any signs of it. Yeah, I mean

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>it's always important. It's always important to be genuinely that way.

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Um So, um, they can see through it if you're

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>faking it. So but I drawed my string from you know,

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>those guys in the huddle, just looking in their eyes,

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the belief they have, um, not only me, but in

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>one another, and no knowing that. You know, this was

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a a crazy game. There's a lot of adversity. I mean,

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the most hostile environments I've played in.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, their their fans came out and you know

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>we still had a lot of support here too. But um,

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it was a you know, I'll sleep well to night

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Excuse. Nick dug said earlier that on first

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and second down, this handoffs the sprolls, there was the kill,

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>sprint out was the was the play there? Why did

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you stay with the the runs. Um, the look that

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>they gave us was the look that we wanted for

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the run. Um, it wasn't the kill look. What was

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the h that we had? The fully special look? But

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we just had the direct snap Yeah it was just

0:03:55.200 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>h Um, Well it didn't work. So, I mean, I

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know if they want me saying it, m but

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna keep that one to myself. What's going on?

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>What's flipping with this team now? Over over this past

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>few weeks? You know, it's it's just been the course

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>of the year. Um, you know, just funding the DNA

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>of the team going through. We've gone through a lot

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>as a team, and we've we've continued to stick together.

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>Everyone at the Overcare up facility just keeps believing in

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>one another and it just takes time. And I think

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the big thing is it's about relationships. It's about believing

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>one another. Um in the hard times. It's easy to

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>pet each other on back when things are going well,

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 1>it's hey, when things aren't going well, or you know,

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>I throw a couple of picks, you know what's going

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to happen. And you know what happened today was I

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>threw a couple of picks made a couple of mistakes,

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 1>but the other guys were there to be there for me,

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>lift me up. Defense said, they got me and that's

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>what this team is about. And a chart seem to

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>have a really good connection to do most of the time.

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Obviously he played here before. Did he says that this

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>game meant anything different obviously beyond you know, a playoff

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>game and anything for him? Oh? Absolutely. I mean anytime

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>you play against your former team, Um, you know, you

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously go out there and you focus and you want

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>to play, but yeah, there's always something. There's always added

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>something and I knew that going in here, coming back

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to Chicago where you know he was an elite receiver

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>when he was here. You know that's emotional, but you

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 1>know he always comes ready to play and he's a

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>big time player. Was a play on the third nine

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that you can play it to him down to the

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>two and was you know, was he the first read there? Yeah,

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean you're sort of reading through an area, but um,

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.599
<v Speaker 1>you know you're reading defenders on that one just the

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>way they coverage, but you you really want to get

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>to him, so the way they're the defenders reacted to

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the concept. It opened up nicely for him that you know,

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>every game, like especially like going into uh not really

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>in the last series. Um, it's more so when I

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>sit in the locker room, Um, you know after a game,

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I always try to take a moment and

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>just sit there and just reflect, um because you know,

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you're enjoying it with your teammates, but it's also you're

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>given everything you have. And I realized then that I'm

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 1>blessed to be able to wear this jersey at least

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>one more week. And that's something that you know, I

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>get to play with these guys one week. I get

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to be with the coaches one more week, and that's

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>something that's really you know, I look forward to and

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm blessed to be a part of it. You didn't

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>play in the game, but what did you notice from

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>your teammates after they had the New Orleans lost the

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>first time, and what are your thoughts about the opportunity

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to have a rematch. Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 1>the first time New Orleans came out and you know,

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>they did a really good job versus Um. You know

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>they you know, it wasn't a good game for us,

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, the thing that impressed me

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>about my team is even in those moments where you

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>know it wasn't a good game for us, we still

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>stuck together. Um. So it's gonna be a tall task

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>this week. You know New Orleans is you know they

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>had a bye week. Their tremendous team, they had an

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 1>amazing season. But you know, I love these guys that

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I get to go play with. I know we're ready

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>for this week. Um, you know, just one day at

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 1>a time. You know. Now we get to go back home,

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>get a little sleep, get our bodies ready, and get

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>ready to roll again. Very much because you came in

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>late in the season. But how long how many times

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you think you practiced that play with him? That one? Um?

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>You know once or twice. So I just you know,

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I read body language, um, and it comes down to

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>trusting your guy to get open. And you know he

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>came out big tonight and he's a playmaker. He made

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>some great catches and he's really helped us a lot.

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>He's coming along. Think you've had a few games role

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in your career where you had those interceptions early and

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the result wasn't what it was tonight. What was different

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>for you? Are are you a different quarterback now in

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>those situations. Yeah, I think that, Um, those games are

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>tough when you make mistakes early that hurt your team,

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know it can affect you because you want

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>to go out there and you want to help. Um.

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I think sometimes you can start forcing it. Um, you

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>can be a little gun shy um as a younger player.

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 1>But you know what I've learned is it's I'll talk

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>about staying in the moment, good or bad. You know,

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 1>when I'm if I throw a couple of touchdowns early,

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>still it's zero zero, just keep playing, Just keep playing.

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>This unfortunately made a couple of mistakes, but still the

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>same thing. Hey, just get back it's zero zero, Just play.

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Trust your teammates play. So um yeah, absolutely one things

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>that I've learned, Um, I'm always learning. I learned a

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>lot about you know, myself tonight, I learned a lot

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>about my teammates. And you know, that's where we continue

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>to grow as a team. And that's that y'all keep

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 1>asking me every week like what's jelling. It's it's this

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>continual growth through these games that we go through, UM,

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that really helps our team mesh and um, you know,

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>we continue to grow tonight Jackson didn't play, says the

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>middle of the field there was a little more room

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>than there might normally be. You know, they did a

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>great job. You know, he's a he's a great player.

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I think they did a you know, that defensive thing

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that impressed me on film was obviously their front, but

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 1>the way they can move their coverages and disguise their coverages,

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I thought they do it amongst the

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>best I've ever played against. Um, you know, they did

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 1>a really good job tonight, even without him out there.

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:43.959
<v Speaker 1>You feel physically I had to come out with the

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>ribs might feel good. I feel good. Um, you know,

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>we gave it everything we had to night. So like

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, we'll sleep good. All right, thank you, all right,

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.160
