Speaker 1: Welcome into Ravens Press Pass. After the Ravens forty one
Speaker 1: to thirty eight overtime win in Cincinnati, a thrilling shootout
Speaker 1: for Ravens fans. First up, we're gonna hear from head
Speaker 1: coach John Harball after the win.
Speaker 2: That was exciting. That was a great football game. Everything
Speaker 2: wasn't great about the game performance wise, and there's plenty
Speaker 2: of things to look at and pick apart, things that
Speaker 2: will be working hard to improve on, without question, but
Speaker 2: that's a great win against the team that was playing
Speaker 2: at a high level. I gotta give Joe Burrow and
Speaker 2: their offense, you know, number one, number five, number eighty eight,
Speaker 2: number eighty nine, number thirty, number thirty one, all their
Speaker 2: guys credit because that's a that's a very potent offense
Speaker 2: and they showed it today. And proud of our guys
Speaker 2: forgetting the stops when they did, and we needed to
Speaker 2: find a way to win the game. And I'm proud
Speaker 2: of our guys to keep believing, keep fighting and a
Speaker 2: really winning the game. What question, jab John just.
Speaker 3: You guys have talked all along. You're gonna stand by
Speaker 3: Justin Tucker and you believe in him. You trust he's
Speaker 3: gonna make the next one. See him kind of step
Speaker 3: up in that situation, drill a lot, and that kind
Speaker 3: of verify everything you said the whole time.
Speaker 2: I'm just just so proud of him. I'm just so
Speaker 2: proud of Justin. That's that's not an easy kick by
Speaker 2: any stretch, and he drilled it, you know, he saw later,
Speaker 2: not an easy kick. A lot of wind up there,
Speaker 2: and protection was outstanding. Proud of our guys for getting
Speaker 2: some field goal range, and proud of the defense at
Speaker 2: the end for getting that stop the end of overtime
Speaker 2: to keep them backed up at the edge of field
Speaker 2: goal range, making the kick tougher. That was so that
Speaker 2: was a big deal at that point.
Speaker 4: More like plays and mayst on this see you happy body.
Speaker 2: I mean, it speaks for itself, you know. I I
Speaker 2: I never cease to be amazed, but I'm always amazed,
Speaker 2: you know. And I'm just I just think so much
Speaker 2: of him. I think so much of his work ethic,
Speaker 2: and and then just the way he plays the game.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's unparallel. You know. He made plays,
Speaker 2: got himself out of trouble, got the ball thrown away,
Speaker 2: somebody unsung plays where he saved us lost yarded situations
Speaker 2: and and came through so many plays where he moved
Speaker 2: around and found guys like Zay Flowers. You just stepped
Speaker 2: up here that were working so hard. I mean, I
Speaker 2: tell you, our guys are in shape.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: It was hot, it was it was we were in
Speaker 2: no huddle, and our guys continued to take advantage of
Speaker 2: the opportunity of fatigue, knowing that both sides are fatigued
Speaker 2: and the lock in and executing those situations. I saw
Speaker 2: Jay make plays. I saw Rasht Babman make plays, Mark
Speaker 2: Andrews Isaiah, all those guys are running backs. I mean,
Speaker 2: you just got to hand it to the guys for
Speaker 2: the grit. The grit, I mean, that was a grit
Speaker 2: win I wanted.
Speaker 4: And then Marlon DA's that played and the player just.
Speaker 2: Record pass them back on to it says a lot.
Speaker 2: I said everything you need to know about their character
Speaker 2: and their ability to get the job done. It also
Speaker 2: says that we got a lot of work to do,
Speaker 2: you know, and we got to continue to improve. But
Speaker 2: I also say, it is a National football League, so
Speaker 2: you know, we we know we we chase perfection. You know,
Speaker 2: we expect to do a much better job against the
Speaker 2: pass than we had, and then we did today. They
Speaker 2: made a lot of tight throws. I mean, all those
Speaker 2: stop throws were well covered in the first half. Then
Speaker 2: there were times that guys were a little more open
Speaker 2: than we need them to be. But uh, and that's
Speaker 2: something we got to work on. You know, we're not
Speaker 2: there with our past defense yet. But they got the
Speaker 2: stops when they needed to Brian to get the win.
Speaker 2: And I'm proud of about that because that again goes
Speaker 2: back to that grit part.
Speaker 6: How were those quicks you scored quickly, you know, in
Speaker 6: the second half, and that after they went up those
Speaker 6: two drives to be able to get up you know
Speaker 6: quickly and kind of answered.
Speaker 2: It did turn out to be big because you know,
Speaker 2: they had the long drives. I mean they burned up
Speaker 2: I think about about seven and a half eight minutes
Speaker 2: on the first drive, and then they burned up six
Speaker 2: or so minutes on the second drive. Then their third
Speaker 2: when they hit the pass, you know, they kind of
Speaker 2: split us in there in a fire zone. Made a
Speaker 2: great play with Chase, great player, making a great play.
Speaker 2: That was a quick one. But we went down and
Speaker 2: scored in a couple of minutes. I think on each
Speaker 2: drive it was just a shootout. I mean, it's just
Speaker 2: a flat out shootout in the second half.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you talk all about targeting.
Speaker 3: People would use the word closer for the kind that
Speaker 3: xample I mean, and you guys weren't two minutes like
Speaker 3: a lot of the second half, so we didn't, you know,
Speaker 3: like to get the ball in that spot.
Speaker 2: No doubt. I mean, they came out and they were
Speaker 2: determined to stop the run the first half, and they
Speaker 2: they loaded up the box and we made some plays
Speaker 2: against it, but you know, we still tried to run
Speaker 2: against it, but they had a bunch of guys up there.
Speaker 2: We still did okay. Uh, And then we went to
Speaker 2: the no huddle and that that broke things open just
Speaker 2: a little bit, like you said. And then for him
Speaker 2: to still be there and to finish it the way
Speaker 2: he did, you know, is uh as a statement, I
Speaker 2: think it's probably a term.
Speaker 7: I mean, when you're down ten into the fourth quarter
Speaker 7: and see the war and what was kind of his
Speaker 7: to me and do you can you said anything from him.
Speaker 2: The Laard's I mean it was strictly you know, let's
Speaker 2: get back out there and win the game. Let's get
Speaker 2: back out there and go score a touchdown. That's all
Speaker 2: he thinks about. He is like this. Even when he
Speaker 2: comes off after making a great plays like this, he's
Speaker 2: looking straight ahead back to the spot on the bench,
Speaker 2: look at the plays get you know, know he's got
Speaker 2: to go back. He's gotta make another, He's gotta go
Speaker 2: score again. He is amazing, And I think I would
Speaker 2: say that about all of our guys, and he's definitely
Speaker 2: the leader. Will I mean, you guys, it's all over,
Speaker 2: guys said at mindset, But this guy's this guy's one kind.
Speaker 2: He's one of a kind of competitive.
Speaker 8: No matter what happened, no matter what going did you
Speaker 8: see mindset?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, right was he?
Speaker 3: Did you get close enough to him after that over
Speaker 3: time bumbson mill that he was still optimistic.
Speaker 4: I mean he was looking pretty pretty right there.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I think we all you know,
Speaker 2: you all going to a dark place for a minute,
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about it. But our defense stepping up
Speaker 2: and getting the stop is you know, it wasn't over.
Speaker 2: You know it wasn't over. It didn't say we weren't
Speaker 2: walking off the field yet. You know, so our guys
Speaker 2: just kept fighting. Got to stop. Proud of him for that,
Speaker 2: because you know, sometimes teams will pop runs right there,
Speaker 2: and we did. We popped a run and we stopped
Speaker 2: them from doing that. Probably the difference in the game.
Speaker 4: I expecting that as a run frutrating. I mean, were
Speaker 4: you expecting.
Speaker 2: Him to commit to kicking we We didn't know, but
Speaker 2: I thought what they did was smart. You know, I
Speaker 2: can understand what they were trying.
Speaker 10: To do there.
Speaker 3: It was a little confusing late in the second quarter
Speaker 3: from you guys using time.
Speaker 4: Out third ten, like you know, throwing into the locker room.
Speaker 4: In a half, you guys pretty much.
Speaker 2: Dominated for a good well, we definitely you know, you
Speaker 2: can play two ways. I'll say I got kind of aggressive.
Speaker 2: You know, I was kind of believing in that I
Speaker 2: wanted to go for it. I wanted, I wanted. I thought,
Speaker 2: you know, it's a going to be a high scoring game.
Speaker 2: I feel like, I feel like our offense can get this.
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't necessarily expect to be third and
Speaker 2: ten in all honesty, but at that point in time,
Speaker 2: I just felt like, you know what, let's go forward here,
Speaker 2: lets see if we can get it done. Was it
Speaker 2: a little over aggressive? I think you could probably argue that,
Speaker 2: looking back on it, and I probably would argue it.
Speaker 2: I just felt like I felt like, I felt like
Speaker 2: we needed it, and I felt we get it, so
Speaker 2: we have a chance to get it.
Speaker 4: You said you've never stopped believing. But when they were
Speaker 4: driving before the Marlin at turnover and what they were
Speaker 4: driving to set up for another score, what was kind
Speaker 4: of you? Where are you.
Speaker 11: Thinking at that point?
Speaker 2: You said, again, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: You said you never stopped leaving, but it didn't kind
Speaker 4: of die? Or before the Marlin of the turnover? What
Speaker 4: were you thinking before that Marlin turnover?
Speaker 2: I don't remember. I remember it was he was kind
Speaker 2: of dark. I remember I looked at my sheet. I
Speaker 2: looked at my sheet right here. I looked down there
Speaker 2: and I saw that I saw the most important line
Speaker 2: on my whole shet. It says the victory belongs to
Speaker 2: the Lord. So there you go. Alright, thanks everybody.
Speaker 1: Next, we have the leader or should be leader for
Speaker 1: his third m VP. This is quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 12: Or where is this when the potential rank for you
Speaker 12: and some of the more exciting games you've had in
Speaker 12: the NFL with your team.
Speaker 13: Uh, this is not an exciting win for me at all.
Speaker 13: Uh not how the game ended, Uh, especially with muss
Speaker 13: of overtime dropping a bottle and then a fumble habit.
Speaker 11: So I'm I'm ticked off about that.
Speaker 13: I didn't want to put my defense back out there
Speaker 13: and we were doing the office line with doing a
Speaker 13: great Jobe was doing a great job.
Speaker 11: But we got it done. So it's it's cool. We
Speaker 11: got to win. That's all that matters.
Speaker 14: Twice that in that game and just puts cass doing
Speaker 14: the conversation with your teammates around.
Speaker 13: But oh, I just looked at how much time we
Speaker 13: had left, and I was just we just gotta go score.
Speaker 13: You know, I always believe in our defense. That's a
Speaker 13: I gotta get my hats to the uh Bengals though,
Speaker 13: cause that's a ah, extremely talented offense over there on
Speaker 13: the f all phases and we got a talented defense.
Speaker 13: You know, it was just one of those rival games.
Speaker 13: It's a divisional game, and we know anything can happen
Speaker 13: in those type of games, not necessarily a blow out.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 13: I just told my guys just we just gotta put
Speaker 13: points on the board. We just gotta keep scoring as well.
Speaker 4: Oh what are your play of highlight wheels in your career?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Highlight plays? Where does that touchdown has to I.
Speaker 6: Say of breaking out of the potential sacks?
Speaker 4: You know how how does that one.
Speaker 15: Right for your ro Uh?
Speaker 11: That's cool? M. I don't know, it's cool.
Speaker 12: And know while beus to the tournative seems like it
Speaker 12: it's kind of sitting with you.
Speaker 9: But does it feel good in.
Speaker 4: A sense to see you know, there is a team sport.
Speaker 16: The defense picked you up there, Kenrick came then with
Speaker 16: that big running and you know you.
Speaker 4: Did have a pretty great game despite that. H But
Speaker 4: how much is that sitting with you?
Speaker 3: W you know, as far as how you're feeling about
Speaker 3: the game overall.
Speaker 13: You since right in the front of m my mom
Speaker 13: right that that's how it's shitting with me right now,
Speaker 13: cause I don't like I just don't like putting our
Speaker 13: team in that type of situation when those guys can
Speaker 13: go up and just kick a field goal to win
Speaker 13: the game. That was just God on our side. You know,
Speaker 13: you always on our side, but that was just God
Speaker 13: right there. Our defense making a great stop. You know
Speaker 13: when the count those guys held their own and then
Speaker 13: Derrin harriet Off Solon did a great job and JT
Speaker 13: just finished it.
Speaker 3: Oh where were you at from a mental standpoint as
Speaker 3: you walked off the field that turnover?
Speaker 11: Like I was m almost cursed.
Speaker 13: I was furious, you know, uh like I didn't want
Speaker 13: that to happen. You know, I like I, Like I said,
Speaker 13: we were driving the ball, you know, we were driving
Speaker 13: the ball. I felt like we woulda scored on that drive,
Speaker 13: but the the time was going down and I'm just
Speaker 13: trying to hurry up and get the snap from Tyler.
Speaker 13: And as I'm I'm looking to see if it's a
Speaker 13: delayed I I took my eyes off for a split
Speaker 13: second and I just yeah, and you know it was
Speaker 13: a fumble, but uh we got to win.
Speaker 4: Are you the least excited player here for that?
Speaker 11: Probably? Probably?
Speaker 13: You know, Uh, like I said, I just don't like
Speaker 13: how that that situation happened. Over time, If that probably
Speaker 13: wouldn't happen, I probably would be the happiest person in
Speaker 13: Raymond uniform right now.
Speaker 4: But a while the topsound passed too? Or is that
Speaker 4: a fourth quarter?
Speaker 17: All?
Speaker 4: If you were working you you step on the two
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty five, Uh, BET's linement and you churfed him.
Speaker 4: Were you were aware of what was going on? That
Speaker 4: was look that looked like a Derrek Henrick stip one.
Speaker 11: Uh yeah, I knew what was going on.
Speaker 13: Uh we just had to put points on the board.
Speaker 13: You know that That's what was going through my mind.
Speaker 13: But would I, uh cost to be turned over? You know,
Speaker 13: we were dropping the ball down the field, tryna make
Speaker 13: something happen, cause those guys, I think, like one play
Speaker 13: they just went for like eighty yards. So it's like
Speaker 13: we gotta respond that fast cause time running out and
Speaker 13: Tom was on outside the day cause we was able to,
Speaker 13: you know, make something happen.
Speaker 15: Lamar.
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of discussion in this plus a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: About Watroll justin Tucker, what do you think Ant lines
Speaker 3: up for that fifty six.
Speaker 1: Yard or Uh?
Speaker 11: I I had all the confidence in the world. I
Speaker 11: know who he is.
Speaker 13: You know, I wasn't worried about what happened earlier in
Speaker 13: the season because if you if you pay attention to
Speaker 13: the whole unit, just all all of us, we all
Speaker 13: had mistakes you know, made in the in the first
Speaker 13: two games and stuff like that.
Speaker 11: So it's the NFL.
Speaker 13: Sometimes the goat may miss, you know, but he came
Speaker 13: back and when we needed him, he he conquered.
Speaker 3: It's a pleas Uh have you finished for you go
Speaker 3: for Grandard fifty yards past and says over one hundred
Speaker 3: color Bateman and he's all over fifty Uh.
Speaker 4: Dereck Henery almost one hundred yards. What what does this
Speaker 4: say about just a talent on this Ravens offense?
Speaker 11: Well, I just say we're a balanced offense.
Speaker 13: But still got worked to prove, you know, work, still
Speaker 13: got worked to uh improve on.
Speaker 11: You know, Uh, I don't.
Speaker 13: I don't believe we we restarted selling yet you know,
Speaker 13: it's still room for improvement throughout this whole season.
Speaker 11: It's a long season, all right. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Up next, the man who iced the game for the
Speaker 1: most part with a fifty one yard run in overtime.
Speaker 1: Here's running back Derrick Henry.
Speaker 4: Have you ever been in a game like that one?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I have, Right, it's not how we drew it up,
Speaker 10: but well, ever got to win.
Speaker 17: But you know that's division games, uh, coming down to
Speaker 17: the wire sometimes four quarter battle and we were prepared
Speaker 17: for it.
Speaker 4: You tell what you saw that that.
Speaker 10: Was green grass, green grass.
Speaker 17: And get close to the end zone as possible and
Speaker 17: then get in there. Should probably stiff on him, but
Speaker 17: Tuck the goat, got the field goal to win the
Speaker 17: game and were going home with the Victor's all.
Speaker 1: That matteration you have for what for what Jackson did
Speaker 1: in the second half of those games.
Speaker 10: Really, that was like.
Speaker 17: That was like a third m v P of UH
Speaker 17: level for him.
Speaker 10: That was that was like a yeah, that one of
Speaker 10: the kind of game.
Speaker 17: Just especially the one when he was he was getting sacked,
Speaker 17: got out of the pocket, UH kept running down almost
Speaker 17: out of the bounced it up all back to day.
Speaker 17: That was just you know, that's why Lamars who Lamar is,
Speaker 17: and best player in the league.
Speaker 10: He he he's a goat for a reason.
Speaker 3: Derek was he looking the huddles in the second half.
Speaker 3: I mean, you knew, guys probably knew your dancer of
Speaker 3: returning to score.
Speaker 17: He was ready, no panic, he was ready, no waiver,
Speaker 17: let's go, let's get to it. I'm sure. I mean
Speaker 17: you can see it on the field. Nor no nervous,
Speaker 17: no panic, Let's.
Speaker 10: Get to it. I mean, guys were gassed. But that's
Speaker 10: the fight.
Speaker 17: I mean, that's the work that we put in throughout
Speaker 17: the week to be ready for these moments.
Speaker 4: Where the just the mood swings. I mean, you're going
Speaker 4: in for potential winnings for over time. Then you have
Speaker 4: put back.
Speaker 3: Football snap and then they miss and you get a
Speaker 3: chance to get it right back.
Speaker 17: Just popy little football, right, I mean, just because of
Speaker 17: those of those moments, you know, you know all that
Speaker 17: things happened, but we are leaving Cincinnati with a dove,
Speaker 17: so that's all that matters.
Speaker 11: How big?
Speaker 3: How big is I mean when you have these type
Speaker 3: of emotional comeback with how big is that in the
Speaker 3: in the big picture of the season.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, but this one is big because what
Speaker 17: transpired today and you know, how to put puts thus
Speaker 17: up to uh in the division. So we we definitely
Speaker 17: needed this one and it was just as just as
Speaker 17: important for us as it was for them. And you know,
Speaker 17: just glad we got the victory, you know, with everything
Speaker 17: that happened. You know, that's just to show you the
Speaker 17: resiliency of this grouping of this team and you know,
Speaker 17: we gonna keep on fighting till then.
Speaker 4: How good did you feel for Marlin?
Speaker 3: They were getting kind of picked down, but they were
Speaker 3: they were you know, getting a lot of yours in
Speaker 3: the passing game for.
Speaker 10: Him play like that.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean mar Marlin has been in battles before
Speaker 17: where he got the best of someone, someone got the
Speaker 17: best of him. But you know, you just keep on
Speaker 17: believing in your uh, your technique and your fundamentals.
Speaker 10: And he did it on that play. He made a
Speaker 10: big play for us.
Speaker 11: O bad.
Speaker 4: What do you gonna remember from the team? Huh? What
Speaker 4: do you don remember from the team?
Speaker 10: Living here with a w getting on that plane happy
Speaker 10: and not being mad.
Speaker 17: So yeah, I'm I'm I'm just happy for everybody, and
Speaker 17: you know, put a lot of working out the week
Speaker 17: to be able to get these big Deason Glad we
Speaker 17: able to get.
Speaker 10: Three in a row.
Speaker 1: Up next, here's wide receiver z Flowers who had seven
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and eleven yards.
Speaker 8: Describe the uh uh number heat there but different man
Speaker 8: like but we go we we talk about it every
Speaker 8: game and he just proved every game.
Speaker 15: So I'm just wondering when we gonna start talking it
Speaker 15: like man different?
Speaker 5: He do?
Speaker 15: He do everything?
Speaker 12: Someone said in the offense just felt like you guys
Speaker 12: just pink on its where you score back and forth
Speaker 12: like what was the mindset for your offense.
Speaker 8: That fame in the game, just go We knew we
Speaker 8: could move the ball whenever we wanted to, however we
Speaker 8: wanted to, whether it was running, passing, we knew we
Speaker 8: could move the ball. So we just knew we just
Speaker 8: had to keep scoring. Every time they go score, we
Speaker 8: had to score.
Speaker 4: A shootout had second half.
Speaker 15: Kind of tiring or a lot but.
Speaker 8: You know, you don't want it to be a shootout,
Speaker 8: but if it comes down to it, then that's what
Speaker 8: it is.
Speaker 15: And we got the players to do it.
Speaker 12: So so you've been here long enough to know how
Speaker 12: the narrative goes. You guys were running the game through
Speaker 12: run game, their starck go Okay, they're gonna need to
Speaker 12: pass at some point here or they he's not getting
Speaker 12: the ball.
Speaker 4: Mark's like in the ball.
Speaker 3: You feel like you guys kind of answered and showed
Speaker 3: you you can win games in other ways today too.
Speaker 15: I mean it's time, like it's timing.
Speaker 8: The run game was working, so but you're gonna stop
Speaker 8: running the ball if it's working. But it s it
Speaker 8: was our time to get open and catch passes and
Speaker 8: make big plays, and that's what we did.
Speaker 6: So say what you say about just the way the
Speaker 6: la war was he able to play today at the voice.
Speaker 4: That he shot throughout the game.
Speaker 15: So it's what he do though, like it's what he
Speaker 15: do with that. That's that's how he play.
Speaker 8: No matter what's going on in the game, he gonna
Speaker 8: become and he gonna tell us let's go score like,
Speaker 8: no matter what the score is, just chopping away and
Speaker 8: I gotta give a receive.
Speaker 15: I gotta give the receivers bait.
Speaker 8: I gotta give it tie, I gotta give it Mark,
Speaker 8: I gotta give it a light. Everybody came through and
Speaker 8: made players when they were supposed to make plays, and
Speaker 8: he kept us alive.
Speaker 4: Is there a play that you're supposed to looking forward to.
Speaker 15: Going back and rewatching from the game. Nah, not really.
Speaker 15: I'm just glad we want if we get old?
Speaker 3: Does we move along? Like everyone shows that that spin
Speaker 3: move that Lamar made here for touchdown? You think that
Speaker 3: touchdown the wh like lead is gonna be go to
Speaker 3: the front of the highlight reel when it all sudden down.
Speaker 15: Oh No, that's tough. That's tough.
Speaker 8: That was that spin moved whatever was legendary right there,
Speaker 8: but light coming through on that player right that that
Speaker 8: was big and it was on geno. Yeah, how much
Speaker 8: do you think this a big picture of the big
Speaker 8: you know, the season.
Speaker 4: How much do you think this will help you guys
Speaker 4: go for it?
Speaker 15: It just it just gave us a test.
Speaker 8: That's I feel like you can never go wrong with
Speaker 8: having a test and just moving forward in the season.
Speaker 8: So we know what we can do. If we get tired,
Speaker 8: you know what we can do. If we down eight
Speaker 8: minutes left, we know what we can do. So I
Speaker 8: think that was a good thing that we went through
Speaker 8: and we came out on the right end.
Speaker 4: Say, hey, he.
Speaker 18: Talking about the lift you guys got from walls interception there.
Speaker 8: I mean, it just show you, like, no matter what
Speaker 8: happened during the game, like it just take one play,
Speaker 8: It take one player to reverse the whole game.
Speaker 15: Man.
Speaker 8: I went up to him and said, that's you, like,
Speaker 8: no matter like, cause some people get down in their
Speaker 8: head and just just keep going down. And he stayed
Speaker 8: up and made a big interception. So props, Mark, I'm.
Speaker 4: Sorry, did you drink big play from you overtime? Because
Speaker 4: it seems like theysed a field goal.
Speaker 5: They're just play they call running play, Like what's it
Speaker 5: good in the one that what does.
Speaker 15: It look like?
Speaker 4: Information? Is he in burst off and kind of break
Speaker 4: the defense.
Speaker 8: And basically when the game four it, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 8: Every time he get the ball, I'm thinking he about
Speaker 8: the break. I'm thinking he gonna score. Because we've been
Speaker 8: in the locker room. He called himself a home run hitter.
Speaker 8: He'd be like, I'm a home right hit. I'm a
Speaker 8: home right hitter, and he just keep showing it right good.
Speaker 3: John the coach, Armo said he got in dark place
Speaker 3: a couple of times there.
Speaker 4: Did you ever allow yourself to get there?
Speaker 3: Or you felt like the sideline was pretty uh, you know,
Speaker 3: still pretty positive even after the babble.
Speaker 8: Does now I mean I feel like, yeah, like a
Speaker 8: little bit, but I knew what we could do, Like
Speaker 8: we just kept scoring, and we just kept scoring. So
Speaker 8: we just kept moving the ball. That's all we had
Speaker 8: to do. And on I missed it, but thank you.
Speaker 1: So now let's hear from kicker Justin Tucker, who sent
Speaker 1: this game to overtime with a clutch fifty six yard
Speaker 1: field goal and then won it in the end.
Speaker 5: Frequently, because of just the nature of where we play,
Speaker 5: we play in you know in Baltimore, we play in
Speaker 5: Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and Cleveland, like we're exposed to the
Speaker 5: elements pretty much at all times. It's almost it's almost
Speaker 5: unsettling when you're playing inside you feel like you you know,
Speaker 5: there's something else you need to address, or like another
Speaker 5: piece of data that.
Speaker 9: You could have used in pregame warm us.
Speaker 5: But on that particular kick on the fifty six yarder,
Speaker 5: as we were lining it up, I'm thinking, Okay, well,
Speaker 5: anytime you're kicking from the logo, the footing can be
Speaker 5: just a little bit different than it is in the
Speaker 5: green parts of the field. So I'm considering being light
Speaker 5: on my plant the way I kind of had been
Speaker 5: striking the ball from time to time, maybe like one
Speaker 5: out of every fifteen or so kicks.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 5: Hence the technical issue that you know, Harves and I
Speaker 5: were talking about over the last like week or so,
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks. You know, all of that,
Speaker 5: all of that stuff is is there. You have to
Speaker 5: kind of consider it. And then the wind was whipping
Speaker 5: around left to right. And the one coaching point that
Speaker 5: Randy makes very frequently with us coming back to that
Speaker 5: is when it's a really windy day. Pretty much, no
Speaker 5: matter where you are on the field, don't give the
Speaker 5: uprights away. So what he means by that is, when
Speaker 5: I'm picking a target line within the framework of the uprights,
Speaker 5: even if it's like a hard left to right win,
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna pick a target line that's outside of
Speaker 5: the yellow poles. I still need to keep it inside
Speaker 5: the yellow poles. Well, well, today was like a little
Speaker 5: bit of a different feel out there on the field.
Speaker 5: So I decided along with Jordan that we're just gonna
Speaker 5: smash this ball and let it play back in. And
Speaker 5: if I started outside the left upright like, at least
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give it a chance that it won't leak
Speaker 5: all the way across the face of the uprights. And
Speaker 5: then Nick threw back a perfect snap, Jordan gave us
Speaker 5: a perfect hold. The guys held, you know, held the
Speaker 5: line up front with enough time to let us just
Speaker 5: say on that ball, and you know the rest is history.
Speaker 15: As I say, justin.
Speaker 14: Mllon obviously been made of the fifty yard field goal stuff.
Speaker 14: I know you've talked about just focusing on that technique
Speaker 14: and so forth.
Speaker 4: How difficult was it.
Speaker 14: For you not just to block out the noise, but
Speaker 14: your own expectations of making those, your history of making those,
Speaker 14: and then to be in that spot.
Speaker 5: Again, well, I think anytime you're tested with you know,
Speaker 5: like the situation that we were in this particular game,
Speaker 5: you either have you either have the choice to rise
Speaker 5: to the occasion or to fold up like a cheap suit.
Speaker 9: And I didn't want to do that.
Speaker 5: So, you know, I've I've left a couple out there
Speaker 5: earlier in the season, so to be able to come
Speaker 5: through in a big way like like we did today,
Speaker 5: and I emphasized we, you know, Nick Jordan, the guy's
Speaker 5: blocking up front. Being able to come through like that
Speaker 5: is particularly satisfying, Like given that, you know, I've let
Speaker 5: a couple get a you know, I say, I'm the
Speaker 5: only the only person that's missing them is me. If
Speaker 5: Jordan puts the ball down sideways, it's still my job
Speaker 5: to make the kick now that that's happening. Put to
Speaker 5: be able to come through in like a bigger moment
Speaker 5: like that, you know, that's that's the only the only
Speaker 5: choices you have are to rise the occasion or just
Speaker 5: wither away. And we are a group of men that
Speaker 5: rise to the occasion, not just the field goal unit.
Speaker 5: But you know, you look at the way the way
Speaker 5: the rest of that game played out, Derek's Derek's long,
Speaker 5: long run at the end of the game to put
Speaker 5: us in position to just you know, put the dagger,
Speaker 5: put the nail in the coffin. You know, everybody just
Speaker 5: kind of staying with it, just sticking with it, no
Speaker 5: matter what was happening out there on the field. Uh,
Speaker 5: just you know, like like we've talked about before, being
Speaker 5: process minded, being process oriented is what I think is
Speaker 5: a part of what gave us the.
Speaker 9: Opportunity to win that game.
Speaker 5: And then these guys just fight in their ass off
Speaker 5: for sixty plus minutes. I couldn't be more proud of this,
Speaker 5: this group of guys.
Speaker 4: It's a great group.
Speaker 9: Actor Garrits long run, Uh you got it. You know,
Speaker 9: look at you basically saying to John.
Speaker 11: Like it's just ended right now.
Speaker 15: Anyway we're messing around?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 9: Is that what happened? Pretty much?
Speaker 5: I think there was a brief discussion of whether or
Speaker 5: not we wanted to center the ball with the wind
Speaker 5: going to the other going to the right of our bench.
Speaker 5: It's a pretty hard right to left wind. But we're
Speaker 5: when we're inside the we're inside the ten yard line.
Speaker 5: We should just knock down the kick, you know, let's
Speaker 5: not let's not worry about too much now if it's
Speaker 5: you know, if we were a little bit further back,
Speaker 5: I think I think we might have, you know, opted
Speaker 5: to put the ball in the right hash or something
Speaker 5: like that. But I mean, I don't know the way
Speaker 5: I figured it is. Let's just let's just put this
Speaker 5: thing away. Let's not even remotely give these guys an
Speaker 5: opportunity to you know, take advantage of like, uh, you know,
Speaker 5: something crazy happening. I mean, the game, this game was
Speaker 5: filled with just crazy things happening. Like, let's not give
Speaker 5: them anything. Let's just we all know how to kick
Speaker 5: a twenty four yard field but well, let's just go
Speaker 5: out there and nail it and win the game.
Speaker 1: Next up, here's center Tyler Linderbaum, who paved the way
Speaker 1: for this rushing attacks.
Speaker 10: Experience for the Yeah, I mean, that's gonna happen.
Speaker 16: But you know, we've got some dudes on that defense.
Speaker 16: The guys are fully capable of dominating.
Speaker 4: Just like us.
Speaker 16: I'm sure they have some players that they went back,
Speaker 16: but you know, they came through Marlow came through. That's
Speaker 16: a huge interception, kind of shifting the game and you know,
Speaker 16: giving us a chance to either go win it or
Speaker 16: tie and send it overtime.
Speaker 1: How do you describe him, I'm only closer in this game.
Speaker 9: I don't know if I've been in a game like this.
Speaker 9: That's what you play the game for, you know, stuff
Speaker 9: like this.
Speaker 16: You know, it wasn't it wasn't pretty by any means,
Speaker 16: But if we want to get to where we want
Speaker 16: to be at the end of the season, you got
Speaker 16: to go through stuff like this to get better.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 16: I'm just happy that we.
Speaker 15: Got through it and we won the game.
Speaker 6: To kind of take over and then through fourth quarter
Speaker 6: when he was playing like that, you kind of take
Speaker 6: us inside of the huddle of how he was setting the
Speaker 6: tone in the mindset and how he handled that his names.
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, like you just said, you know, the
Speaker 16: offense runs the way. You know he's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 16: make special plays, you know. And then also just the
Speaker 16: talent that we have in this in that over room,
Speaker 16: you know a lot of weapons and it's just the
Speaker 16: old lightest drib to block as.
Speaker 15: Long as they can.
Speaker 9: But you know, it's a special group.
Speaker 16: You know a lot of things that we can learn
Speaker 16: from and and prove on. But you know, anytime well
Speaker 16: we thirty forty one points, any time you put up
Speaker 16: that many points, you're gonna have a good chance of
Speaker 16: winning football games.
Speaker 9: How could you describe that?
Speaker 5: Definitely history fifth player to have ten thousand yards and
Speaker 5: a hundred your career rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 9: What is it like to be walking.
Speaker 16: For him to be part of that. That's awesome, Glad
Speaker 16: and glad ADC was able to pick him up in
Speaker 16: the off season.
Speaker 10: You know, he's a special player. You know, he helps
Speaker 10: this team win a lot.
Speaker 9: Of football games.
Speaker 4: How would you describe the locker room? We heard it
Speaker 4: from the media, how would you describe that locker room?
Speaker 11: After after wind like this?
Speaker 16: That's a that's the stuff that you know you play
Speaker 16: this game for is experience in the locker room. And
Speaker 16: you see you know, Monk and Trav coming down from
Speaker 16: the stairs, you know, celebrating.
Speaker 10: You know, just uh sure, you put a lot of
Speaker 10: time and a lot of work into, you know, during.
Speaker 16: The week to get experienced this experience. You know, away
Speaker 16: locker room wins, you know, home locker room wins, you know,
Speaker 16: and just just gotta keep stacking. You know, we got
Speaker 16: we love the failing, we love the failing, but you know,
Speaker 16: just got to move on next week.
Speaker 1: Now, next up, here's tight end Mark Andrews, who after
Speaker 1: a two game stint without a catch, came up with
Speaker 1: four grabs for fifty five yards.
Speaker 9: Incredible win.
Speaker 19: Really just you know the word that comes to minds belief.
Speaker 19: And you felt that the whole time. You know, things
Speaker 19: didn't go you know, always our way. But I think
Speaker 19: the guys fought hard, you know, through four quarters, through
Speaker 19: over time.
Speaker 9: And it was really good to see.
Speaker 19: And there's a lot of players making plays and kind
Speaker 19: of show that what we can be and what we're
Speaker 19: starting to be, and it was really cool.
Speaker 2: How do you describe the roller coaster of this game?
Speaker 19: A lot going on, you know, I think, you know,
Speaker 19: a lot of back and forth. They played a really
Speaker 19: good game. They're a good team and but for us,
Speaker 19: just resilient, keep it leaving and you know, things went
Speaker 19: our way, and when you have belief like that they're
Speaker 19: going to you.
Speaker 6: Came in with more At the same time, where does
Speaker 6: this game bring in your mind? Seem like he kind
Speaker 6: of took things over in the second half.
Speaker 9: It's a big game.
Speaker 19: It's a big game for us, you know, being two
Speaker 19: and two and and now three and two, it's you know,
Speaker 19: obviously better than the alternative. And yeah, he fought, you know,
Speaker 19: Lamar fought his butt off, and everybody in this locker
Speaker 19: room did you know.
Speaker 9: It's the O line.
Speaker 19: It's you know, it's tile and making big plays when
Speaker 19: it matter, and it's all the receivers. It's the tight ends.
Speaker 19: We had three in the room that was incredible. So
Speaker 19: it's really just everybody doing their job executing. That's what
Speaker 19: it's all about.
Speaker 6: The past game really well, the passing game really got
Speaker 6: rolling today. You attle allowed the passing game to to
Speaker 6: have the kind of bay you guys had as a.
Speaker 19: Group, you know, just you know, they they packed the
Speaker 19: box so we were able to kind of spread it
Speaker 19: out and you know we went big and and Charlie
Speaker 19: had that big one and uh, just different things, you know,
Speaker 19: guys making plays, stepping up and catch the ball. You know,
Speaker 19: there's so many different instances of you know, guys getting
Speaker 19: the rock in their hand and making somebody bess, you know,
Speaker 19: getting the yards, getting a first down.
Speaker 9: That's awesome to see where.
Speaker 4: It's seen a lot of little more highlights.
Speaker 11: Where do you put that one touchdown to like where
Speaker 11: you were stiff?
Speaker 19: It's incredible, It really was incredible. I went to him
Speaker 19: as I had never seen anybody throw throw anything like
Speaker 19: that in my entire life. You know, it's just the
Speaker 19: type of player he is. You know, it's never dead,
Speaker 19: the play is never dead, and he's so special and
Speaker 19: that was that was really cool.
Speaker 9: Is there a moment?
Speaker 7: I mean, there's so many plays and things, but for you,
Speaker 7: was there a moment in this game that you might
Speaker 7: remember more than others?
Speaker 19: I think just the whole thing. I think, you know,
Speaker 19: I can see it pretty clearly, all the plays that happened.
Speaker 19: It's not just one play. It's offense, defense, especial teams.
Speaker 19: Everybody you know had their hand in this one. And
Speaker 19: that's what you know, it's so gratifying about it.
Speaker 6: Well, was there any adding I guess, bonus that you had,
Speaker 6: you know, a really strong day today, You got hard
Speaker 6: against these guys last year? Was that at all kind
Speaker 6: of an emotional thing or anything added.
Speaker 8: Because of that?
Speaker 9: I don't.
Speaker 19: I don't think so, you know. I think for me,
Speaker 19: it's just coming out here and try to do my job.
Speaker 19: That's what I you know, they've done, you know, since
Speaker 19: I've been in the league, and this game was no different.
Speaker 19: Very happy that we got to swin and gets a
Speaker 19: really good team that fought really hard.
Speaker 1: And here's Charlie Kohler who led all the Ravens tight
Speaker 1: ends with three catches for sixty four yards, including a touchdown.
Speaker 4: What was the most fun, ridiculous whatever part of this game?
Speaker 18: Oh, just the d I mean obviously people disaster play
Speaker 18: were driving the ball. Well, give them the ball. Defense
Speaker 18: was a great job of holding them to like what
Speaker 18: two yards or whatever, tough field goal and you could
Speaker 18: tell about operation. They had a little mishap with a
Speaker 18: snap in the hold and so the ball didn't come
Speaker 18: out great. And then first play, big Dog takes like
Speaker 18: I don't know, one hundred yards. I was trying to
Speaker 18: run after him and he kept getting faster and farther
Speaker 18: away from me, and I was thinking in my head,
Speaker 18: act was like, this is how the Bills felt last week,
Speaker 18: and he's so fast it doesn't really make sense, but
Speaker 18: I was running hard.
Speaker 3: So surely we know how much you've contributed as a
Speaker 3: blocker on specialty and all that, but how did it feel,
Speaker 3: you know, getting a little more bout in the past,
Speaker 3: catching off.
Speaker 10: It's beautiful.
Speaker 18: I mean they get so focused on Mark and Isaiah,
Speaker 18: they forget about the fat white guy running down the scene,
Speaker 18: and uh, I was so open, I know what to
Speaker 18: do and mamar through it. I got yelled at for
Speaker 18: not scoring again, so I gotta fix that. But I
Speaker 18: think it was like a little chain reaction because I
Speaker 18: didn't score so Isaiah could score. But then Mark paid
Speaker 18: me a favor and then got tackled my too so
Speaker 18: I could score. So I think beautiful day. I'm not
Speaker 18: gonna answer anything serious. It's too good of a way.
Speaker 18: We didn't get the thinking of the vibe.
Speaker 4: Did you describe the locker room here?
Speaker 9: We could hear it outside there.
Speaker 4: What was the locker room like this?
Speaker 18: I mean, it's just it's amazing. Monk always says that,
Speaker 18: you know, nothing like a locker room after win. You know,
Speaker 18: you put in so much time and effort, and there's
Speaker 18: so few games in football comp by the basketball and
Speaker 18: baseball and everything, and so you have to just cherish
Speaker 18: these moments and be grateful. Because it's the NFL. There's
Speaker 18: a lot more season, there's no bowl game break and
Speaker 18: so just cherish this moment, be grateful, get everyone healthy,
Speaker 18: and get watch the film, we talk about all the
Speaker 18: bad things we did too, and then get better for
Speaker 18: next week.
Speaker 4: Was it more relief ecstasy?
Speaker 10: I mean what were the emotions?
Speaker 18: Oh?
Speaker 9: Ectiously?
Speaker 18: I mean it was incredible.
Speaker 11: I mean.
Speaker 18: We were down what ten? So right ten? We scored
Speaker 18: to cut it? I mean, no one, I mean everyone's
Speaker 18: very well aware of tuck struggles recently, and then he
Speaker 18: just drills a fifty five yarder over that?
Speaker 15: How far? Was it even better?
Speaker 18: I mean the ball was good from seventy and you
Speaker 18: could hear like the way the ball was struck. It
Speaker 18: was like a it was a good snap, good hold
Speaker 18: and the ball was just nuked. And so it's good
Speaker 18: to have him back. I mean, he's so talented. You know,
Speaker 18: we all knew he's gonna come through. And the fact
Speaker 18: that the whole team contributed and then himself, you know,
Speaker 18: to bounce back in a huge moment and make two
Speaker 18: big kicks is incredible and testament is character.
Speaker 1: Next up, here's line Rope one Smith.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I think it's just you have to win your
Speaker 7: one on one matchups, and I think.
Speaker 9: That's all across the board.
Speaker 7: There's eleven players out there, and when those opportunities come,
Speaker 7: we have to win all matchups. But it's a lot
Speaker 7: easier cleaning up after a dub as opposed to losing.
Speaker 18: Now this week you said we hate them, thank you
Speaker 18: hate us?
Speaker 9: Why raise those fay?
Speaker 7: Those games come down with sim Why it's a highly
Speaker 7: intensity Like the intensity is very hot throughout the game,
Speaker 7: and I think it's like not liking each other and
Speaker 7: then just knowing what's at stake. Division games they count
Speaker 7: as too, even though there is one game, and when
Speaker 7: you think about it from my perspective, a lot is
Speaker 7: riding on that. Your livelihood is riding on it. And
Speaker 7: when when that matters to you, you're gonna go out
Speaker 7: and put everything on the line for that.
Speaker 9: Now, watching your offense between Lamar save Flowers and Derek
Speaker 9: Kenny obviously with the fifty or are you thinking watching
Speaker 9: your offense take over it was big.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 7: It was definitely big for us. They helped us out
Speaker 7: of a lot this game. And can't think those guys
Speaker 7: enough for the work they put in. But you know,
Speaker 7: we just got to continue to get better on the
Speaker 7: defensive side of the ball, and we knowing that the
Speaker 7: offense anytime Lamar get the ball in his hand, in
Speaker 7: the offense in general, we have a chance to win
Speaker 7: in in every game.
Speaker 18: Now, one of the prevailing messages around with this locker
Speaker 18: room is each week, get a win, but get better.
Speaker 5: What do you think of where you guys are now
Speaker 5: that we're heading.
Speaker 14: Into Week six?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we're in an okay spot right now,
Speaker 7: but I think we have to keep advance as far
Speaker 7: as defensively, there's just like like I said earlier, each
Speaker 7: and every person just have to look themselves in the
Speaker 7: mirror and have to win your one eleven. That goes
Speaker 7: from the D line, linebackers as well as in the secondary.
Speaker 7: And I feel like when we do that and challenge ourselves,
Speaker 7: we can do that because when we were on all stuff,
Speaker 7: and granted, there's some really good receivers on that side
Speaker 7: of the ball, and like some of the top receivers
Speaker 7: in this league, so they're definitely gonna make plays at
Speaker 7: the end of the day. But I like our dbs
Speaker 7: any given Sunday, any given day, and twice on Sundays.
Speaker 7: But hey, those guys had a good game, but if
Speaker 7: they lost, it don't really matter.
Speaker 1: So do you need to cancel sharing.
Speaker 7: I don't think it was really anything special at the
Speaker 7: end of the day, I think his guys he was
Speaker 7: putting up, giving these guys a chance and they was
Speaker 7: winning their one on one matchups. There was definitely like
Speaker 7: a call or so that maybe uh, he got us in,
Speaker 7: but like you know, that's.
Speaker 9: Part of it.
Speaker 7: He get paid a lot of money, just like offensive
Speaker 7: coordinator as well as our coaches, so they're gonna make plays.
Speaker 9: It's the NFL at the end of the day.
Speaker 7: But at the end of the day also we have
Speaker 7: to be better at our jobs, and that goes back
Speaker 7: to like each and every person doing their one to eleven.
Speaker 7: I think that start with myself looking myself in the mirror,
Speaker 7: making sure I'll all my stuff every single day, and
Speaker 7: echoing down to the rest of.
Speaker 9: The guys on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: After giving.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, it was huge.
Speaker 7: You know, at the end of the day, you can
Speaker 7: definitely make plays, but when in crucial moments, it's about
Speaker 7: players stepping up and making big plays. And Marlow's obviously
Speaker 7: one of the best players on this team, and he
Speaker 7: stepped up and made crucial play and what mattered it
Speaker 7: mattered throughout the game, and it obviously showed how much
Speaker 7: it mattered, and hey, I'm proud of him and it's
Speaker 7: a lot better to clean up.
Speaker 9: The mistakes out there are dubbed.
Speaker 6: Kiln will not What are you guys get let the
Speaker 6: highest making high I guess incentive thoughts like how do
Speaker 6: you guys fix.
Speaker 7: Up each and every guy looking themselves in the mirror,
Speaker 7: not having an ego thing to it, and just knowing, hey,
Speaker 7: I can do better because guess what, how many ever
Speaker 7: plays was out there, every single person made a mistake.
Speaker 7: We're all human and it's about chasing perfection, knowing that
Speaker 7: perfection is not possible, but chasing it and getting damn
Speaker 7: close to it. And if you do that, we're damn
Speaker 7: good defense.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to Ravens Press Pass. We will be
Speaker 1: back with you on Monday for head coach John Harball's
Speaker 1: Monday press conference. Enjoy this win, Ravens flock
