1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: But you can make with you. He's been making jokes 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: the whole time that he's already been the four, but 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: this year he gets his own tickets and he gets 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: a seat on the plane. So, um, this is a 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: special year, you know, no matter what happens, it's been 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: an unbelievable year. And to know that we're still writing 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: our own story and we got a chance to go 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 1: make it a really really special year in two weeks. Um, 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: you know it's been. It's been a great ride. You know, 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: very grateful for the guys in this locker room, how 11 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: much work we put in, how much we care about 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: playing for each other. And I think that shows up, 13 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, when you're an overtime game. And I'm sure 14 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: they feel the same way about their team because this game, 15 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, went right down to the end, two really 16 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: good teams going back and forth, trading, you know, heavyweight shots. Devin, 17 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: you guys all years say you pride yourself on your conditioning. 18 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: I'll watch of a factors and these big games that 19 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, and going over time, those over a hundred 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: places all well, condition it's a factor. But I think 21 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: at this point in time, you got two teams playing 22 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: for championship. You know, I didn't feel like they died 23 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: and any at any point in the game. They kept 24 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: coming back. Um, And I think both teams knew, like 25 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: we just got to keep going and see how this 26 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: thing ends. Um. You know, like we came out, played 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: lights out in the first half. Still fourteen fourteens that 28 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they went in at halftime like fourteen points. 29 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: We do that easily. So um, just to play in 30 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: a game like that, that's just a true battle going 31 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: back and forth or really two teams Wills, I wasn't 32 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: Friday you have because you look at the statue, you know, 33 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: all one. I mean, we did a good job. But 34 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure y'all watch the game. It wasn't 35 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: it wasn't a one man effort with that guy. Um. 36 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: He asked us a couple of times while we were 37 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: leaving one on one. I told him he should like 38 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: the game playing so um, just to me, it was 39 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: competitive and against that guy, you had to compete. You 40 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: had to try to make it hard on him each play. Um. 41 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: And still with Mahomes, like we always say, you know, 42 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: having one great receiver school, but when you have a 43 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: great quarterback, that's able to still make plays and buy time. Um. 44 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: Their offices are really tough. They drew up some good 45 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: plays against some of the things we were doing. UM, 46 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: but I thought we did a good job of just 47 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: moving on to the next play and continue the battle. 48 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: When you guys went out there and one to toss, 49 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: how confident were you in the offense to take the 50 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: ball in this one of the first round? You saw me, 51 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: I ran off as soon as I saw it was tails, 52 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: I mean his head, as soon as I saw it 53 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: was heads. I saw this before. I know what happens 54 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: at the end of this one. Do you remind you 55 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: super Bowl always? I mean anytime we got over time, 56 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: when we get the ball, I'm not really worried about anything. 57 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to get comfort. A lot of different examples 58 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: of players showing mental toughness, and John Jones is a 59 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: guy who's played a lot early in the year and 60 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: then miss staff Cow had of your tail, you know, 61 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: the end of the season to fight often while the 62 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Remolt defenders. He was opposite till with a young guy 63 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: like that, man impactis question Teams tenal defense. His whole 64 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: of the season of the night from beginning in Jay 65 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: Jones I mean sixty men, it's except for you know, 66 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: he shoulder looks like it's done. I seen him run 67 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: off the field. He comes right back in like two plays, 68 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: and I'm sure he wanted to end it with that 69 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: interception at the end. But you talk about getting hurt 70 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: last year, I believe that was even in the game 71 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: and missing the rest of that run to the Super Bowl. 72 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: But coming back with no excuses, no anything to start 73 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: the season off his injury was already tough. And then 74 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: to come out here after you know, playing a lot, 75 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: not playing, still playing a little bit. And I thought 76 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: from the beginning just us continue to talk to each 77 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: other and me telling him that he's doing an awesome 78 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: job of just matching Tyrek Hill and making everything tough 79 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: for him. But I think when you look at Jay Jones, 80 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: that's what this team is. It's a bunch of Jay 81 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: Jones is in that locker room, of guys that just 82 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: want to compete and went for each other. And you know, 83 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: we're not worried about stats, We're not worried about Pro Bowls, 84 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: all pros. When we come back here in April each year, 85 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: it's all about getting to this game. You know, out 86 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: of what it takes. And um, this year was it 87 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: was a tough one. You know, we battle some things. 88 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: We've been questioning doubt about a lot of people. But 89 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: I think the great thing is to trust and that 90 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: what we believe in, our faith never never wavered inside 91 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: the locker room. That's the time that some mentionship you 92 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: guys started playing your best football maybe Buffalo Jets and 93 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: then into the playoffs. How unusual has that been for 94 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: you just to sort of see it, you guys have 95 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: to hang in that deep into December before that maybe happened. Yeah, 96 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: I mean we would like for the whole December, you know, 97 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: really after things given to get going. And I thought 98 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: we had flashes, And I thought that was one thing 99 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: with us as a team. We kept showing flashes, playing 100 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: really good whether it was Minnesota or Green Bay, and 101 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: then we go and not play our best football in 102 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: Miami or Pittsburgh. Um, and you know, I thought, like 103 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: you just said, Buffalo was like all right, guys, like 104 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: this is what it takes. Like we're running out of time, 105 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: you know, and going to playing at home against Buffalo 106 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: winning a divisional a division championship was like, guys, this 107 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: is championship level football, like this is what we need 108 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: to do and you know, essentially going next week and 109 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: playing another playoff game against the Jets. But though we 110 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: just continue to roll with that kind of mentality that 111 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: would check in that coaching staff every game, playing together 112 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: our most side of football. Our coaches don't care about sleep, 113 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: they don't care about anything. Um. When we came in 114 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: there Tuesday to go over to scouting report, um, I 115 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: felt like the game plan was already in. You know, 116 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: it was just tweaking some things because you know, as 117 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: soon as we won that game Sunday, they got to work. 118 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: And as a player, there's nothing more you could ask 119 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: for for your coaches to really give everything they got 120 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: and prepare you from when we go out there on 121 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: kickoff that everything else is behind us. We just get 122 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: to go play free because Bill's gonna make sure we 123 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: practice it over and over again. We're watching in the meetings. UM. 124 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: So I think our players always have a ton of respect. 125 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: That very thankful for our staff. Thank you all.
