Okay, all right, 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:35.560 So what question do you. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.920 Have play off first with What do you think that 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:41.880 that means for the team or is it kind of 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.240 focused on one bigger goals? 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.880 Oh, it's huge, it's huge. You never did. We rejoice. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.040 I rejoice in the fact that we made the playoffs 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.200 because it's tough to do. It's really hard to do. 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:51.600 Look around the league how hard it is to do. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.040 I'm so proud of these guys. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:53.760 And we have goals. 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.480 The first goals to win the next game. We say, 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.480 so everything we do all yours to win the next game. 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.880 The second goal is to uh, to make the playoffs. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.400 The third goal is to win the division. The AFC North. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.920 Then the final goal is to win the championship, you know, 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.520 the super Bowl World Championship. So that's that's we won. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:10.960 We won. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:11.920 We got two of them tonight. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:12.120 We won. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.920 We won the next game, and we made the playoffs. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.240 John, we know how crazy ring contilers can be with 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.600 the swings, big plays after Lamarthur is the interception there 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.240 for Marlon Upper to get the pick six there. 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:24.400 I mean, just how massive was that? 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.320 It was massive, you know, just the things that we 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.840 had talked about, the things that the guys were talking about, 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.320 the idea that you know, it's just good. It's good 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.679 something something happens, a good circumstance, good, a tough circumstance. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.840 Good gives us an opportunity to come back and make 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.799 the next play and take the next opportunity to turn 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.080 things around. And for Marylin to do that, you know, 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.240 we got pressure on that. All those kinds of things. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.440 It just means so much. And Marlon also had a 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.040 baby this week, so we got the game ball. He 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.000 didn't get the game ball. His son got the game ball. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.880 John, I'm not saying play goes David a job out 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.920 of that moment about after all the ups and notes. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:02:59.799 That he's so good. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.320 He had a couple of big pressures and a couple 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.920 of big plays there. You know, David's been he's been 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.520 practicing really well, and they see him get his opportunity 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:08.280 and step up like that. 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.480 Really, the whole game was great to see. Proud of him. 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.079 How physical this matchup can be. What does it mean 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.160 to see you guys rush for too much from twenty. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.400 Yards on the ground of big big starts right there 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.880 with number twenty two. That's what it starts with. But 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.680 it also it also starts with the offensive line. So 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.160 our offensive line played really great tonight. I thought our 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.200 coaches did a great job scheming up the run game. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.480 Lamar had a lot of checks involved with that. So 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.799 it's just really well executed run game and a hard runner, 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.800 the best in the business right there, John. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.600 I don't know that this is a Steelers defense that 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.680 was really really good against under center runs. You guys 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.840 didn't seem to, you know, go away too much from 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.480 that because we keep the confidence that you guys. 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:44.680 Could do that. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.480 Yeah, I think we had a good plan. You know, 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.160 we've got it. We've got we've got a great runner. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.160 So it starts with that and the ability to come 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.920 downhill was important to us in this game, and our ability. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.760 We had a couple of scheme things that took some 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.240 of their pursuit out of it. So I thought that 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.880 was really clever of our coaches. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.720 I hope took you guys had any defensive holies today. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.320 I'm really happy about that. I'm really pleased with that. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.600 It was really good. You know, we covered better. They 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.520 had a couple of downfield throws that we defended without grabbing, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.119 you know, so I thought we did a good job. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.240 John to that point. Kyle Hamilton, I think during the 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.960 week said, you know, the message for you that you 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.880 guys have to sort of learn to not lose before 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.000 you could win. What what did you can you expelld 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.000 on what you meant there in how much of an 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.119 example that was tonight? 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.200 Yeah, I mean it's it's something we talk about a lot. 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.080 The guys don't understand. It wasn't telling them anything they 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.719 don't know's it's always a topic. But sometimes you want 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.240 to win so bad and you want to do well 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.760 so bad that you try to win. Suddenly you try 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.240 to win in one play. All right, the game is 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.800 not going to be one in one play. It's going 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.159 to be one, one play at a time. If you 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.800 take that mindset and try to a good play one 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.479 at a time, and if you have a tough play, 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.040 you come back and try to have the next good play. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.920 And suddenly a big run is broken off, you know, 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.360 or or there's a pick six, or there's a sack. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.200 All of a sudden, you look up and the scores 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.599 thirty four to seven, and when just a few minutes 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.120 before that it was tight. So that kind of patience 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.640 is really what it means, is be patient doing the 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.440 ordinary things well over and over again. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.080 Lamar's plays, but there's some clutch throws, especially not the 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:13.600 last crime. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.240 Clutch throws, especially against man tight coverage, guys running guys, him, 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.520 him dotting people on the run in man covers. I thought, 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.200 Lamar is fantastic, and that's no a little bit of pressure. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:26.799 I mean, our guys did a good job up front, 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.240 but Lamar was. He's under pressure against this, this group 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.440 of Russians. The passer always are going to give you pressure. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.359 He stood in there and made some throws. Man, he 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:34.440 always does to. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:36.240 You. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.479 I don't know how much you pay attention to or not, 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.400 but a lot of talk going in the week. I'm 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.640 sure you're sick of it by now losing eight to nine, 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:43.400 and a. 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.599 Lot of the conversation was what's going to go wrong? 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.560 How dosn't mean a lot to see you guys play 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.359 as well you did, especially in the second half. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.120 Yeah, I'm really happy with the win. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:51.800 It's a great win. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.760 No, Darius Washington is a guy you made that switch 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.599 a number of weeks ago. What what did I guess 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.280 gave you that confidence send him to do that? And 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:04.960 how well is he could play it? 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:05.800 Well? 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.640 If you look at our Darius, he's always played well. 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.360 You know, he had the injuries a couple of years, 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.440 but he's always played when he's gotten his chances. He 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:15.120 practiced as well. Again, I don't think anybody is surprised 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.120 by it. You know, I'm happy to see it happen though. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:18.160 He's playing great football. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.000 Mitch Jordan and on telling the kick os, Jordan's got 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:22.640 a massive leg. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.760 You may have noticed that, and uh uh, you know, 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.760 mixing it up a little bit good, but also kicking 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.800 into that win down there to that end, he gave 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.760 us the best chance to bomb one out of the 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.600 back of the end zone because he's so strong. He's 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.320 young and uh, but then he got unto the other one. 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:37.960 You know, like like a lot of young guys, there's 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.040 some inconsistency there. But that was the idea, is justice. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:41.640 I know he's a. 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.320 Concussion proculvid see Okay, overall you've seen some good. 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.760 Sign Well, I don't know that's a that's a concussion 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.840 with a game four days from now, so I love 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:49.840 to see how that goes. 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:53.840 Next. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.080 Up his quarterback Lamar Jackson, who threw three touchdowns in 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:57.560 the win. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.240 Steelers deficial Uh, it means a lot, you know. I 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.360 feel like we've been busting out behind all season long. Uh, 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.880 pat ups and downs throughout this whole season. But the 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.040 clincher playoff against a great team like that, that's that's great. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.520 I mean we move in the right direction. 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.080 So much has been said about your own personal struggles 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:19.280 against Pittsburgh. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.880 How gratifying is it for you to play this way. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:23.480 Against this team? 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.280 I feel like I could have played better, but interception 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.000 it really got mad still though, you know that's we 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.080 don't We don't turn the ball over almost any game. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:34.880 We win the game. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.720 You know that one turnover could have been the difference, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.720 you know, but shout out tomorrow in the defense, cause. 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.440 Those guys played their lights out all game. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.960 Definitely better as a team against them this time in 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.000 your sit again, what did you do better as a 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.800 team against them this time? 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:51.320 In your mind? 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.080 I believe we just well stay with what we've been 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:54.720 preaching all week. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.760 You know, it's just one player at a time, no 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.320 matter what can what happened in the game, just you know, 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:00.560 just move on to the next play. 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:02.600 And things happened throughout the game. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.360 Where it was like we could start like having that 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.040 little like shat back, but we didn't let anything bother 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.120 us penalties, the look turn over here and there, and 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.800 if we got stopped, you know, we kept our mind 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.560 focused on when we get another opportunity. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.880 Interception, miscommunication, Yeah, yeah, that's all that was. 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.520 Yeah, what was kind of your reaction? 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.440 Do you remember your reaction when Marlon you know, when 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.200 you saw Marlon make that pick and return for a touchdown. 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.520 Yeah, I was still mad about the intercession. I thought 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.679 of putting them back out there, you know that, That's 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.200 what I was mad about, just putting them in that 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.040 type of situation where momentum can swing and let that 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.440 team get their advantage. I was just mad. I was 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.880 mad into the game was over. I'm still mad. I'm lying, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.839 I'm still mad.

You know 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.920 that when we played the Stillers. They have this certain 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.360 type of defense they play against us, you know, and 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.080 we really didn't know what those guys were gonna do. 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:38.719 It was it man's on what type of. 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.760 Game it'll be, and our off salone just did a 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.480 great job at keeping those guys off of and letting 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.280 him just you know, go get out of the backfield on 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:47.440 touched and he just did the rest. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.800 What does it mean to you to get sas for 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.000 a thousand yards man? 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.440 That's that's that means a lot, you know, just to 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.160 have a thousand yard receiver.

Uh, emphasis all, we would 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.640 just finish. We know that if we didn't turn the 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.320 ball over, have any self inflicted wounds, and you know, 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.960 give ourselves, give ourselves a chance to win the game, 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:11.960 you know, and I think we did that a lot 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:16.520 last game. And like gods are locked in focusing on 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.160 emphasis on from this week to be able to go 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:20.920 out there and finish and play the way we did. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.079 And then this is your this is your second Gradelers game. 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.560 What what have you learned about this rivalry and what 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:27.520 it takes to win this game? 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.120 You gotta bring it every. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.640 Time, you know, you you you play these guys, you know, 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.160 but you know, we don't try to make it so 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.800 much about like the Ribberry. Try to focus on us 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.840 and what we need to do. We know we play 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.480 the way we know how Then you know, we give 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.800 ourselves a chance against against anybody. I know, they're they're 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.200 a great team, got a great, great defense, great offense. 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.600 But you know, we just had to focus on what 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.280 we need to do give ourselves the best chance to win. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.320 Did just feel like a breakthrough win in a way? 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.680 I mean not not because of the rivalry part of it, 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.600 but just because, I mean, you guys face some real 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.280 tough moments in the second half and you bounce back 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.719 each time with huge players. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.400 I think it's just it feels good to you know, 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:12.280 get away and knowing that, you know, we had emphasis 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.600 on things that we need to do to win the game, 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.560 and we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot, you know, 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.640 at any point in the game to you know, let 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.880 the momentum go up the other way. You know, we 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.120 just stayed focused no matter what happened to East Drive. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.160 You know they stayed and encourage and just focused on 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.000 finishing the fact we did that well today. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.040 What did you see from the resolve of the team 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:33.959 after the interception. It looks like you're about to put 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.000 the game away there, but to make. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.120 That, you know, to turn them all over there, but 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:39.520 just to bounce back so quickly. 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:40.320 What did that kind of. 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.640 Show you Yeah, that was a big momentous wing when 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.080 they got that turnover. But it's complementary football, you know, 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.880 defense how that back in that Wan did a great job, 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.160 made a huge play that we definitely needed. And you know, 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.280 just hats off to those guys, man. They work hard 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.640 throughout the week to be able to make big plays 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:58.240 like that in the game. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.720 And there's a lot of important reasons to win this week. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.120 But given that Pittsburgh might be a team that you 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.319 see again in the playoffs, I mean, did that add 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.120 more importance that you guys can show up and earn 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.520 a w against this team. 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.120 I mean, we don't go in the game feel like 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.720 we can't win any game. You know, we know some 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.920 games gonna be tougher than others, but we know we 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.960 got to make it about us and the way we 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.600 execute and by the way we work. And you know, 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.160 everybody's going out there taking taking the one player at 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.280 a time. You're not gonna win each game by by 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.160 one play is one player at a time. And you know, 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.800 it's great to get this win in a big rivalry. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.280 Like you said, we might see those guys again, and 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.880 but just happy to get this win on our belt 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.400 and focus on this one and get ready for the 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:40.800 next one. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:41.720 You do more there. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.720 I think you had close to fifty yards in that 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.000 first quarter. Did you know that you would be a 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:46.959 focused early on. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:47.520 In this game plan? 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.719 No, I just focus on whenever the opportunity to get 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.640 the ball, you know, make an impact and be efficient 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.480 and be consistent in my. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:58.760 Play old line. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.719 Everybody did a great job blocking to day, so they 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.280 made my job easy anytime have a game like this, 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:04.480 I mean they did a. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.319 Great job blocking, so they did about a credit. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.760 Uh you know, John just said Justice, they're still trying 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:15.199 to figure out what how he's doing.
