We kind of glossed over the fact, 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: whoa wait, a second division champs again and it shouldn't 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: go without mention an incredible job by you guys tonight 10 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: and again for the season to take another division.

You know, everybody fought, 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: you know, to the end of the game and he 13 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: paid off. Adam, What was what was going through your 14 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: mind there at the end? You guys were put on 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 1: the spot, you had to make a last stop, kind 16 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: of putting it all on the line. Is uh? You know, 17 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: how much confidence do you guys have after the season 18 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: you've put together in that kind of situation. I mean, 19 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: I definitely have a lot of confidence in my teammates, 20 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: you know, and the stop stops like that, you know, 21 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: that feels a lot of trust, um, and you know 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: it's it's important, you know that we trust each other 23 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: and we have faith in each other. It's gonna this 24 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: is gonna come up again. This is not the last 25 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: time we're gonna see a game like this. It's games 26 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: like this that you know, we got more ahead of 27 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: absolutely the last two plays. I wanted to ask you 28 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: about the second down play. You know, Alan looked like 29 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: he had knocks overthrew him a little bit. And then 30 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: the third and fourth downd. You guys just dialed up 31 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: some immense pressure and made sure that that Josh Allen's 32 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: gonna get rid of the ball. Was that? I mean, 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: what is the first of all? Was that the design 34 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: of those plays, you know, just to just let's let's 35 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: see if we can get at him and make sure 36 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: he has to get rid of the ball before he 37 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: wants to. Was that the idea there? I mean, yeah, 38 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: pretty much. I mean our third down union was in there. 39 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: Uh and you know my role is primarily gone third 40 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: down and uh, you know, I didn't really pay attention 41 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: to anybody else. I just focused that play, you know, 42 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: and my job is to be disruptive, So I got 43 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: off the ball as quick as I could, you know, 44 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: and got in there so doing my best to do 45 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: my job, and he came right to me and I 46 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: got him down. It seemed like you guys rattled the 47 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: quarterback a couple of times earlier on. Were you surprised 48 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: when Alan showed a little bit of poise there in 49 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: the in the second half and was able to get 50 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: out of a situation or two? There weren't that many, 51 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: there was a time or two when he was able 52 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: to escape. Were you a little surprised at that? No, 53 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not surprised at that at all. I mean, 54 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: is that that's what he does, you know what I mean, 55 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: he's a you know, a dual threat quarterback. Uh. But 56 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, we figured the best thing to do, you know, 57 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: was just make him throw the ball, you know what 58 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean. We gained playing that, you know, and we 59 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: figured it just that's the best thing to do, you know, 60 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: rather than just let him run, you know, gets yards 61 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: and put them in the best field position possible. But 62 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: it didn't surprise me one dad that he got out 63 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: a couple of times. You know, that's that's gonna happen 64 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: sometimes for quarterback like that. Adam a nice night for 65 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: the run defense. You guys gave up just forty six 66 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: yards to single terry. How much was he part of 67 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: your game plan this week? And you know, just in 68 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: terms of stopping the run? How key was that to 69 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: Buffalo's offense? Man? That was a definitely, definitely a big thing. 70 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's actually always a big thing. We 71 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: take pride in stopping the run, so and putting things 72 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: in long situations because we trust our third down unit. 73 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: But anything, anything's goal is to stop the run. Nobody 74 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: wants to get the ball run on them. So, you know, 75 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: after last week, you know, I just wanted to continue 76 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: with that the run defense. Was there a lot of 77 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: talk among you guys. You know, Joe Mixon had a 78 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, a pretty good day in Cincinnati last week, 79 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: and you guys bounce back. It looked like a totally 80 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: different front that was dealing with with Buffalo. Was that 81 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: a big topic for you guys all week? Is that 82 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: basically what the idea was, Yeah, well, I mean I'm 83 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna lose, we come back in is try to correct 84 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: our mistakes from the week before anyway, so and not 85 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: repeat them. Um So you can say that was a 86 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: big emphasis um this week. All right, Adam, we'll let 87 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: you go and go celebrate a little bit. I know 88 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: you guys have more work to do, but I want 89 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: you to have a merry Christmas and we look forward 90 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: to see you again a week from tomorrow to wrap 91 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: up this regular season. Congratulations again, thank you. I appreciate 92 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: you guys. Happy holidays. Same to add. There he goes, 93 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: Adam Butler there and the Patriots tonight winners over the 94 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills twenty four to seven. You know, Butler was 95 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: involved in so I think he had a half a 96 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: sack and one of those players hit him. And High 97 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: Tower were there,
