1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Way to go into league right, feels great. And that's 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: what you know. 3 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 2: I was talking to one of the guys in the 4 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: locker room, is like all week leading up to it, it's 5 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 2: like before you're. 6 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: By, you're just just find a way to win. 7 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: And that's the worst going into a bye week, Uh, 8 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: losing and then you got two weeks to think about 9 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: it and sit around and ponder that one and get 10 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: ready for the next one. But you know, it feels 11 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: great where we're at. We also understand that we hadn't 12 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: won anything yet. You know, we're six and two. It's 13 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: a great spot to be in. We've been on a 14 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: great run, but we gotta we gotta keep carring that 15 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 2: momentum when we come back. 16 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: You don't expect to win a lot of games when 17 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: you have three three turn off on offense, well, no doubt. 18 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 2: I mean it's it's a testament to us just making 19 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: plays when we have to. I mean, that's that's never 20 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: the formula. I mean, we talked about a lot going 21 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: to this game. You know, this team that we're playing, Steelers, 22 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 2: they're really good. When you if you have more than 23 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: one turnover, if you give up more than a sack 24 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: or two if you don't score, you know, I think 25 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: it's twenty three points at least, Like their record is 26 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 2: really really good with when those things happened, and we didn't. 27 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: We didn't do anything by that formula today. I mean, 28 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,639 Speaker 2: we scored twenty points, had I don't know how many sacks, 29 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: you know, a few three or four, had three turnovers 30 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 2: in plus positive territory. I mean, but it's just a 31 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: testament to our defense, for one, and then our offense 32 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: being able to make the plays when we need them. 33 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: And we moved the ball consistently all day, which was 34 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: which was great against a really good defense. But we 35 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 2: just gotta find ways to finish those drives. You know, 36 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: I had a bad play down in the red zone 37 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: that that can't happen. That took off you know, seven points, 38 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: but at least three points off the board for us, 39 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: you know, so I think they went down and they 40 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: went down and scored on that drive. So just you 41 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: know that that shouldn't happen. I can't let that happen 42 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: being a quarterback, and I gotta be smarter there. But 43 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: all in all, it's a great win. You're always gonna 44 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: take wins in this league, and it was cool to 45 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: see us fight and battle through the adversity. 46 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: Even touchdown great rate. What did you see on it? 47 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were an empty and uh I don't think 48 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if we've ever thrown that battle the 49 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: running back out there. Uh So, honestly got to give 50 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: a lot of credit to Travis for staying ready, for 51 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: knowing what the look was. They played a cover two 52 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: and the corner jumped our ore out by uh I 53 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 2: think that was Calvin at number two, a receiver there, 54 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 2: So the corner jumped that. Then Travis was just rolling 55 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 2: down the sideline and the safety really instead of getting 56 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: high over the top, he drove as well. I think 57 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 2: he thought I was throwing it to Calvin there too, 58 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: and then you know, got fortunate and I put enough 59 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: air on it because that could have been bad as 60 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: he had he had a jump on if I threw 61 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: it flat. So you know, Travis making a great play 62 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: down the field. That's a tough play for running back 63 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: and him being able to haul it in and then 64 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: go and finish it and go score. I mean, that 65 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: was a huge play for us after we had I 66 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: think we had turned it over right before that defense 67 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: got a big stop and then we went and had 68 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: that play with score. So that was a big, big 69 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: swing for us right there. I'd ever hit him like 70 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: that before, No, never, I don't think that's That's got 71 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: to be the longest we've we've hit for sure last October, 72 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: you guys zero and five, and then since then, you know, 73 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 2: it's been thirteen and four in the regular season. 74 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: Was drafted undefeated up October. 75 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: Can you just talk about that turnaround and how maybe 76 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: did it happen quicker than you thought? 77 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: Or and just how far have you guys come. 78 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: We've come a long way, just really in every area. 79 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't say necessarily happened quicker than you thought. 80 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: I think we just we got So we've just been 81 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: so caught up in our process and every week turning 82 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: the page and just finding a way when when Sunday comes, 83 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: whether we play great, we don't play great, you know, 84 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: we have turnovers, we play clean, whatever it is, just 85 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 2: how can we find a way to win the game. 86 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: And whether that's our defense picking us up when we 87 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: need it after a turnover, where that's us going and 88 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: scoring after. 89 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: The defense gives up a touchdown. 90 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't matter, and I think that mindset 91 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: has given us a lot of confidence because we've seen 92 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: ourselves win these tight games when the games that aren't clean, 93 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: and we've won games where we've been behind. 94 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: You know, we've found a way to win. 95 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: Last week in New Orleans, you know, when they tied 96 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: it up and we had a big touchdown, then we 97 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: got to stop on defense. So all those things just 98 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: you know, pile on top of each other and build 99 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in a team. And we got 100 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: to keep playing with that and clean up some of 101 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: the mistakes like always. 102 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 1: But I love where we're at right now. 103 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: But like the little terrible talk comment was taken out 104 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: of context in Pittsburgh, Median fans kind of ing with it. 105 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so you did what did you make of that? 106 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: And what was it like playing in this environment and 107 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: the hostile environment. You guys come out with the wind. 108 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: It's good. 109 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: I mean cut off the wind. That's the main thing. 110 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: So it was it went, It went went well for us. 111 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I don't I don't really care 112 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: about the taking it out. I mean, I know fans 113 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: do that. It's it's part of what makes this game great. 114 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: Use fuel. 115 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: You want to you want to hate your opponent when 116 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: they come in and make it as hard as possible 117 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: on them. 118 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: And I totally understand that. 119 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: I hope, I hope our fans do that in Jacksonville too, 120 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: So no problem with that. Uh, you know, it was 121 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 2: great that I thought we played pretty clean in the noise, 122 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: minus a couple of things. You know, I thought we 123 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: we communicated really well. Great environment. I mean, the fans 124 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: were loud, they did they did a great job too, 125 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: but just found a way. 126 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: So it was great. As soon as you released the 127 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: redsidone pick, did you sort of just thank. 128 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew. You know, it was just 129 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: a bad play by me. You know, that wasn't the look. 130 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't the coverage, the look that we wanted for 131 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: that play. And you know, when I got to the 132 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: top of my drop and I saw one and two 133 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: weren't open, I should have just thrown it out of 134 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 2: the back of the end zone. 135 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: I think it was. 136 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: I think it was was that first first and five 137 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,119 Speaker 2: from the five or something like that. I just should 138 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: have thrown it away right away, but I kind of 139 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: scrambled and then tried to throw one late to Calvin 140 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: in the back of the. 141 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: End zone and it's just kind of double covered there. 142 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: So that's one that I know better and just in 143 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: that moment, tried to do too much. 144 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: Your team is the besial record in the AFC by 145 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: a team not named the camp What does that say 146 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: about this team? And is in your mind is this 147 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: team was super Bowl contented? Means that we still got 148 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: more to work for. 149 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 2: You know, we're not we're not the best team in 150 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: the league, So that's you know, we still got more 151 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: out there for us. That's all we know. And uh, 152 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. You know, six and two, we played 153 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: eight games, we got nine left. It'd be great if 154 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: this decided playoffs and all that right now, but it isn't. 155 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: So we know we got nine games left. And we 156 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: also know last year we were well were we three 157 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: and you know we were three and seven going into 158 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: the bye and we made the playoffs and won a 159 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: playoff game. So this is it honestly means nothing. It 160 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 2: means that we've had a great start to the season. 161 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: We're in a really good position going forward, but we 162 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: got a lot of we got a lot of big 163 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: games ahead of us after this buy and a lot 164 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: of really good teams too, So we're just getting started, 165 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: and we know that we know what's in front of us, 166 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: so we can't look too far ahead and think we've 167 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: we've done anything. 168 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: This team has kind of figured out how to win 169 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: kind of ugly games. Now, what what goes into that? 170 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: How does that change where you guys figure that out? 171 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure. I don't know the answer 172 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: to that. 173 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's the best thing I'll give 174 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: you is that we've done it. 175 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: We've we've been able to do it so much in 176 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: the past, and I think that we have that confidence 177 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: of you. 178 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 2: Know, whether you talk about the playoff game last year, 179 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: or the Dallas game before that, or even this season 180 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: New Orleans not playing great, they kind of have all 181 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: the moment at the end of the game, we find 182 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: a way to score. Like I just said, trying to 183 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: think of the other games. I mean, Buffalo is a 184 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: little different, but that was a one score game. Find 185 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: a way to win. I had, you know, turnover in 186 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: the red zone, a couple fumbles like stuff like that. 187 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: I think we've just we've just realized also to this league, 188 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: it's not ever gonna be perfect. And I think teams 189 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: that understand there's gonna be adversity and it's not gonna 190 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: go clean. You can't get you can't get thrown off 191 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: when something doesn't go right, because there's I mean, there's 192 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,119 Speaker 2: great players on every team, there's great coaches. There's gonna 193 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: be things that aren't gonna go perfect for You're gonna 194 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: make mistakes and you just got to be able to 195 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: fight through it and battle back and play the next play. 196 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: And I think we've gotten we've gotten good at that, 197 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: and we've got to continue to do that while cleaning 198 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: up the mistakes because you can't always rely on that, 199 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: you know, the ability to overcome them, because you're not 200 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: always gonna be able to do that. Some teams, you know, 201 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: some weeks are gonna play good enough and clean enough 202 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: to beat you if you do that, so you gotta 203 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: you gotta clean it up. But I love the mindset 204 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: that we have. Thank y'all appreciate it.
