1 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: Alrighty from Dublin in Ireland. The Minnesota Vikings first regular 2 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: season game in this country, likewise for Pittsburgh, likewise for 3 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, goes the way of the Pittsburgh Steelers twenty 4 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: four to twenty one in the final. Got interesting late, 5 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: but nevertheless the Vikings take their second loss. And speaking 6 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: of losses, they had some injuries today too. Sentater Ryan 7 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: Kelly did not return in the second half. Brian O'Neill 8 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: right tackle was lost in the second quarter. No end 9 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: Ruvan Ginkel into the game, valiant effort. Too many mistakes, Yeah, 10 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: too many mistakes. 11 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, by the end of this game, you're missing 12 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: sixty of your offensive line. You know. Blake Brandell played 13 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: some guard last year. He felt good about that. But 14 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: losing Ryan Kelly and having Jurgens have to come in 15 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: and then losing Brian O'Neal on a field goal attempt, 16 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: that that really changed things. And it wasn't until the 17 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 2: fourth quarter that the Vikings scored a touchdown, right, and 18 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: the third quarter was the rough one fifteen yards of offense. 19 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: You had one turnover, two interceptions on the day for 20 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz. But you get again, they hung in there. 21 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: And needed a big play, you got one from Jordan Aison, 22 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: you get the two point conversion. I mean, it's been 23 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: it's been one of those. It was just one of 24 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 2: those games, Paul, where we just felt we just didn't 25 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: feel like we were in it, and then all of 26 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: a sudden, the fight and these guys they hung in there, 27 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: they kept battling and they they made it come down 28 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: to the last play of the game. 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: The postgame Report with a Pete Bursage and yours truly, 30 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: Paul Allen, is provided by Loomen, and we thanked them 31 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: greatly for the weekly sponsorship of the postgame Report where 32 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in his twenty first year from cal the 33 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: forty one year old went eighteen of twenty two two 34 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: hundred yards and a touchdown, and it was an eighty 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: yard touchdown to DK Metcalf in the second quarter. You know, 36 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: that was one of the mistake laden plays where DK's 37 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: good and a Rodge obviously had some hof joined, but 38 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: you had a mistackle, you had a bad angle, m'ight, 39 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: had some guys out of position a little bit. You 40 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: know that that really never should have happened. And what 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: do you think of a Rodge? 42 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: He did exactly what we thought he was going to 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 2: do going into this, and let's get rid of the 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: football quickly and then nowhere to go with that? Go 45 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: with it and the DK Metcalf slant. I mean that 46 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: was he had that football in his hand for a 47 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: fraction of a second. As soon as he got that snap, 48 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: he was throwing that slant before the linebackers could adjust 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: their drops and get over there. And then you have 50 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: that that creature, a six foot four, six foot five 51 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: DK Metcalf. Yeah, catching the ball in stride, a lot 52 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: of bad angles, and next thing you know, it's an 53 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: eighty yard touchdown. So for the Steelers, that's a huge play. 54 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: But overall, one. 55 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: Hundred and thirty one yards of rushing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 56 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: They did they guys with the off tackle. You know, 57 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: Van Ginkel would have probably have helped in that regard 58 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: because it's the way our outside linebackers play. It's so unique. 59 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 2: But at the same time, too much on the ground, 60 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: too much giving up on the ground for the Vikings defense. 61 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison combined for two hundred and 62 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: forty yards on a combined to fourteen receptions This was 63 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: by far the most active Jefferson has been in the 64 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: passing game this year. He was targeted eleven times Addison, 65 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: after missing the first three targeted eight times, he brought 66 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: in four, including one for a career long eighty one 67 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: yards nearing the end of the game that put the 68 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: Vikings in business and Xavier Scott, second year from Maine, 69 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: Xavier Scott scored his first National Football League touchdown. It 70 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: was a catching touchdown. Six catches and forty three yards 71 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: for Zay Scott. But all of that was not enough. 72 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: People, No, it wasn't it, you know, for Xavier Scott. 73 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: I think the Vikings coaching staff knew that if they 74 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: could get the right kind of coverage. They have some 75 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: mismatches with the running backs on the linebackers of the 76 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. We spread that defense out right. We made 77 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: him tip their hat as far as if it's man 78 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: or its zone and we wanted to get some of 79 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: those bigger guys in space and if not for a 80 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: couple of tipped passes. Both those interceptions are on tip passes. 81 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: That's the part that's that's so tough. But Carth Carson 82 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: Wentz for the most part, did a really nice job 83 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 2: of handling everything and handling the quick throws, reading the defenses. 84 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: I didn't he didn't make any blatant major mistakes. Made 85 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: some plays with his legs as well. So you know 86 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: the way Carson months is handling his quick this quick 87 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: style quick throw offenses. I think it looked looked good. 88 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: It just again, we couldn't. We just did not put 89 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 2: anything together, shooting ourselves in a foot with penalties getting 90 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: us into third and long. Some mistakes along the way, 91 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: I mean those you forget about those at the end 92 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: of a game like that, but they built, they can 93 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: come back to haunt you. 94 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: We will hear from a Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz coming 95 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: up shortly but first here as head coach Kevin O'Connell 96 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: following a three point loss in Dublin to Pittsburgh. 97 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 3: Buff the guy's battle to the very end of the 98 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: football game, clearly losing the turnover battle, and and and 99 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: can penalties continue to be you know, a critical factor 100 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 3: something I've got to get fixed, you know, specifically the 101 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 3: pre and post snap penalties that you know when we've 102 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: we we we give away yards or we get you know, 103 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: things stacked against us, creating third and longers for our 104 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: offense or you know, earn first downs that aren't necessarily 105 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: happening between the whistle against our defense. I thought our 106 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: defense kept us in it, battling a couple of big stops, 107 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: and then we were able to put together some two 108 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: minute drives despite being down a few guys up front, 109 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 3: which is, you know, never an excuse. Expect everybody to 110 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: be ready to rock and roll and step in next 111 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: man up, and had a chance to still win the 112 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: football game in the end, because our guys compete to 113 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: the very end regardless of circumstances and just just didn't 114 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: find a way to get it done. Credit to credit 115 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 3: to them for you know, playing a good football game, 116 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: winning the turnover battle, and their formula to win is 117 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 3: is that, and they were able to do that. Injury wise, 118 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: Brian O'Neil will have an MRI tonight. And then Ryan 119 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: Kelly did get put in the or he was out 120 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: with a concussion. And then Carson did get poked in 121 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 3: the eye and was able to continue playing. Kevin was good. 122 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 4: Brian O'Neill concerned. 123 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: I guess what are you guys his league? 124 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 3: You know, I was out there when they evaluated him. 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: Don't want to get too far ahead from a standpoint 126 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: of what it might be, but it sounded like they 127 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: were talking about his m c L So that's one 128 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 3: they'll have to evaluate. I know he was trying to 129 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: do everything in his power to tape it up and 130 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: see if he could go. And uh, you know, one 131 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: of the toughest guys on our team, so I know 132 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 3: he would have absolutely tried to get back out there 133 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: if he could. And we'll evaluate him and and uh 134 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: see where he's at. 135 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: How did you know what Carson, what he is under 136 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: that much question? 137 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was it was, uh, you know, 138 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: you're trying to you go into a play into the game, 139 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: you know, trying to make sure if you do everything 140 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: in your power for you know, to based upon what 141 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: you view as the challenges going into the game. From 142 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: a standpoint, I thought, we tried to do everything every 143 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: which way we could try to limit t J. Watts effectiveness. 144 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 3: He's a really, really unique special player, and throughout the game, 145 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: we we had some breakdowns, you know, at some other 146 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: areas and just kind of took us out of the 147 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 3: flow of of being able to run the football. It 148 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: took us out of the flow being able to use 149 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: our play action pass game. I thought we did do 150 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: a pretty good job early moving the football via you know, 151 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: the ball coming out pretty quick, and trying to find 152 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: ways to get some catch and run opportunities. But as 153 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 3: you stack some of those negative plays, you just end 154 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 3: up and down and distances that are very conducive for them, 155 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: and then eventually the score is very conducive for them. 156 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: And you're trying to make sure you piece together what 157 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 3: was the original plan and making sure you never want 158 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: to leave ninety, you know, to an open edge, and 159 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: I think the one of the few times we did, 160 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: he got off the ball so fast they called him 161 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: for a false off side in the neutral zone. But 162 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: then as you lose your center and then obviously bo it, 163 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: it has some effect on the execution, but I don't 164 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: look at it as anything more than the next man up. 165 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: And we've got to consistently do some more simple things 166 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 3: early on in the game, just from a standpoint of 167 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: doing our job, and that's the execution when it's all eleven, 168 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: when it's all there and you're going to have sometimes 169 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 3: both interceptions were off of tip balls. What we've got 170 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 3: to look at is, you know, was the ball going 171 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: to the right spot, what was the protection? Like who 172 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: tipped it? Could we have gotten hands down? And then 173 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: on the third and long we're just trying to put 174 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: the ball in play right there. We we got today 175 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 3: a little quick on that one. Don't necessarily Carson's processing 176 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: and seeing kind of the intent of the play which 177 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: you know had a had a provision in it to 178 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: get the ball today, just maybe not as quick as 179 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: he did. And it ball ends up being thrown on 180 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 3: you know, the the west side of the center, which 181 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: was was not the intent, and the ball gets tipped. 182 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: And and and that one is an incredible play by TJ. 183 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 3: Watt off of the tip. I think I think Hayward 184 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: might have got the original the first tip. But those 185 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 3: are two tip balls. There are still interceptions. We got 186 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 3: the ball out one time on defense and it looked 187 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 3: like it bounced, you know, JG got it off the 188 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 3: quarterback one time and it looked like it bounced right 189 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: to one of their guys. You've got to overcome that. 190 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 3: That's you know, funny shape football. And and you know 191 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: the tip balls were intercepted. And the one time we 192 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 3: got the ball out, it was just the next down 193 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: for their offense, and when that's happening, then you got 194 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 3: to create some things. I thought the blocked field goal 195 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 3: was big, and then obviously the defense at the end 196 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: finding a way to get the stop, and then we 197 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: flipped that into a touchdown and had a chance because 198 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: of that. That's where you're just never going to see 199 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: this team quit. They're going to play to the very 200 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: end against a good team. We just didn't do enough 201 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: things to overcome either you know, our own execution or 202 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: the injuries or whatever. I don't really look at anything 203 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 3: other than we've got to improve and and continue to 204 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: grow as a team. 205 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: At the end of the first half, when Carson gets 206 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: a poke in the eye, how did that affect his 207 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: ability to kind of read things through coverage wise? 208 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 3: At the end of the sequence, it looked like we 209 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 3: had TJ you know, on the on the maybe the 210 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: down either right after, maybe two downs after, and it 211 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 3: was his left eye, uh, you know, and he you know, 212 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: he's made that throw, you know, many many times, made it, 213 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: you know, to the right against the Bengals kind of 214 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: in a similar area of the field and and just 215 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 3: left it a little inside, tough catch and ended up 216 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: kind of all but ending our opportunity maybe get seven there, 217 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: and what that looks like if we can do a 218 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: little bit better job coming out in the third quarter, 219 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: What what does the game look like? So it's all 220 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 3: it all connects that, it's all works together throughout the game, 221 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 3: Ben And and you know, like I said, we complimented 222 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 3: at the end within a will to try to win 223 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: the football game, overcoming all the things that in many cases, 224 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 3: you know, we put ourselves in that situation. 225 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: Ryan Kelly, are there any larger conversations that need to 226 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: happen with the two concussions this year? 227 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 3: Clearly, you know, the health of the health of our 228 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: players is always the first, you know, the beginning of 229 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 3: the end, in the middle of that conversation, beginning, middle end. 230 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 3: So we'll totally defer to the doctors, and we'll defer 231 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 3: to the protocol, and then ultimately we're gonna want to 232 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 3: make sure Ryan's in a good place. That's not anything 233 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: you know, I particularly ever want to mess around with. 234 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: So we'll be smart and at the same time, you know, 235 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: i'd much more definitely not my lane to kind of 236 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 3: weigh in on those things until the medical staff or 237 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: you know, we get to that place, but appreciate the question. 238 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 4: It on the last drive, it looked like you wanted 239 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 4: a clock recent before the delay. 240 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 3: Mean or well, we were dealing with the play clock. 241 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 3: You know. It was the unique thing about you know, 242 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: coming to play here and then you find out about 243 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: three minutes before the kickoff that that end zones game 244 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 3: clock and play clock would be turned off for the day. 245 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 3: Trying to go as fast as we can, the coach's 246 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 3: quarterback kind of system kind of went out there at 247 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: fifteen seconds and we just you know, normally that clock 248 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,239 Speaker 3: right in front of the quarterback is kind of registering. 249 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: I got to get going, and it was you know, 250 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 3: it was just precious time lost in a sequence where 251 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: with the clock, we're trying to get as detailed of 252 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: a play off as we possibly can, to account for 253 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 3: a lot of the things we're moving the ball with 254 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: from a standpoint of help on the edges, making sure 255 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 3: we get things up front to give us a chance 256 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 3: on the plate to let our let our guys get downfield. 257 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 3: And uh, you know that was a critical, critical penalty. 258 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 3: And then I think we might have got beat on 259 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 3: a te on the intentional grounding, had an opportunity maybe 260 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 3: on that one to get a pretty significant chunk which 261 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: you're looking for at least one or two times there 262 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 3: to try to see for sure get in field goal range. 263 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: And then uh, you know, we're still thinking about trying 264 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: to get and field goal range and then have opportunities 265 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: either make it a shorter field goal or try to score. 266 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 3: So that was kind of the momentum of the game. Thought, 267 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 3: you know, thought the best thing to do would be 268 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 3: on side kick it, see if we could capture it 269 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: right there, continue to have it and then no and 270 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 3: flow and the guys could get a stop and then 271 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 3: and then it was going to be, you know, a 272 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: race to try to get three points and get this 273 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 3: thing into overtime. Kevin Million, You will use the offensive 274 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 3: line or talk as an excuse, but how tough does 275 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: it make it for you? 276 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 4: Just as you're approaching things. 277 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 3: Knowing who they have on other side, with whereas. 278 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 4: As much shuffle as there as there's been a year. 279 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you know, you're asking you're asking guys to 280 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 3: step in there. You're asking guys to uh, you know, 281 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: play against some premiere players for sure, and and try 282 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: to use the game plan as much as we can 283 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 3: at least as a starting point and then from there, 284 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 3: you know, and we were you know, trying to uh 285 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: piece it together a little bit to move the ball 286 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 3: and account for some things in the second half, which 287 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 3: I thought Carson did a really good job kind of handling. 288 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: We get the explosive t JA we you know, we 289 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: you don't get in the end zone on that play 290 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: and you're trying to get a playoff, and there's just 291 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: sequences in parts of our offense that that you know, 292 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: maybe there's an answer, but it's it's down the line 293 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 3: into into things, especially when you get down in there 294 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: and then just the you know, you would have loved 295 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: to save every second you possibly could, but the same time, 296 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 3: you've got to account for all those things that we 297 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 3: that we talked about in your accounting for certain certain 298 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 3: things where you're diving, diving deep into the end of 299 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 3: the playbook a little bit too, combined protection with the 300 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: ability for your playmakers to make a play and try 301 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: to see if we can get some more or two 302 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 3: hitch throws out for cars. 303 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 4: Well, do you think of the atmosphere today and do 304 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 4: you think the noise played a role in the NST right? 305 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: You know, I think the atmosphere was a great atmosphere 306 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: for football. You know, both our fans that made the trip, 307 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: the fans that were wearing purple, and I thought they had, 308 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 3: you know, a great showing as well. It was the 309 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: energy in the building was fantastic. You know, I think 310 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 3: probably a combination of uh, you know, the energy there 311 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: on the last drive and then you know, just you 312 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: one of those negatives being you know, quarterback facing a 313 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 3: clock that's off. That's not an excuse, we knew about it, 314 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: but that is a unique challenge when it comes to most, 315 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 3: if not all, you know, NFL games, you're normally staring 316 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: right down right through the defense at that at that 317 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: play clock. To be able to speed things up and 318 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: get the ball snapped got us in a big moment, 319 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: and we've got to be ready to handle you know, 320 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: the circumstances a little bit better. The field down efficiency 321 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: was very low today. How you do you plan to 322 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: work on it in order to achieve consistency in the 323 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: offer efficiency? Yeah, I think you know, a big story 324 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: and theme you've heard me say the term, you know, 325 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: the early down execution and then some of the you know, 326 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: some of the penalties. I think we had you know, 327 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 3: a false start on a third and medium, which would 328 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 3: be in that six to nine range, and that kicks 329 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: you back ten plus. You know, I think back to 330 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 3: some of the you know, early parts of our season 331 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: here where we're when we can stay efficient and when 332 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 3: we can you know, get that early down execution and 333 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: then lead into a third and manageable. I thought Adam 334 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 3: Thieln had some nice third down conversions today, you know, 335 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: on some of those d and ds. But then you 336 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 3: start wholly, you know, you got to get people further 337 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: down the field when you're talking about twelve thirteen, fourteen fifteen, 338 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 3: and that's when you know, we ended up having a 339 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: turnover today trying to put the ball in play, seeing 340 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 3: if we can get a play started and activate z 341 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 3: A a little bit in the past game which showed 342 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 3: up again. But yeah, it's it's absolutely something we've got 343 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 3: to continue to work through. Those downs tend to be 344 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 3: the weighty downs, tend to be the hard ones and 345 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 3: the most magnified when you when you're down some guys 346 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 3: because it requires some individual one on one you know, 347 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 3: blocks at times, and you're trying to do everything you 348 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 3: can to eliminate or at least contain some of the 349 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 3: you know, the very familiar names on the other side 350 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 3: that you know can affect the passer. So all well, 351 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 3: knowing there's a plan of justin coverage wise, there's you know, 352 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: there's absolutely a way to a path moving forward for 353 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: us to do exactly what you said, which was improved, 354 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 3: which is to improve on those third downs. But to me, 355 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: it's as much those plays as it is the plays 356 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 3: that precede them, and making making sure we're efficient and 357 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 3: staying on schedule to allow ourselves to get the ball 358 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 3: out of our hand and put the ball and play 359 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 3: to our playmakers. 360 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: Penalties, you know, it's been a common thread with the 361 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: Vikings this season, and it has some a topic to 362 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: it today because into the game the Vikings had twenty 363 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: nine penalties, fourth most in the NFL. The Steelers only 364 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: had fourteen into the game, fewest in the NFL. And 365 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: the Steelers won the penalty battle today. 366 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: And again it's self inflicted. It's the you know, Byron 367 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: Murphy Junior getting fifteen after a whistle, Dallas Turner kind 368 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 2: of doing this, you know, doing the same thing. 369 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: We gave them fifty yards and penalties, yeah. 370 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 2: Fifty yards in some key spots too, And I mean 371 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: as I look through my notes, I think about that 372 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: when it's fourteen to six and JJ slips on what 373 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: should have been could have been easily a touchdown reception, 374 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So a couple of things 375 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: just don't go your way. Isaiah Rodgers again coming up 376 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 2: big with a block field goal that could have really 377 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 2: put Pittsburgh over the edge even earlier in this game. 378 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: But he hung in there and he may again making 379 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: another big play a week after. You know, two forced 380 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: fumbels and two touchdowns. So, yeah, the self inflicted stuff's 381 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: got to end. It's got to end quickly because when 382 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 2: you're going out minus by the end of this game, 383 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: we were down five starters. Yeah, right, And when you're 384 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: doing that, you can't be you can't. You just can't 385 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: be making those, you know, those kinds of mistakes. And 386 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: credit to the Steelers, maybe not so much credit for 387 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 2: the play calling and some of the decisions that allowed 388 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 2: the Vikings to get back into it, but they're an 389 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 2: aggressive bunch and Vikings almost took a full advantage of 390 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: everything that happened. 391 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz threw for three hundred and fifty yards a 392 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns, couple of interceptions. He also was sacked 393 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,239 Speaker 1: six times, so the Vikings are permitted eighteen sacks this 394 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: year through four games. Let's hear from the quarterbacks. 395 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: Is there a problem with your left eye there part, Yeah, for. 396 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 4: A moment there, it's tough to see gut goalage in 397 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 4: the eye, but. 398 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: We're fine overall. Was it like dealing with bad amount 399 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 2: of pressure in the team. 400 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're a good team, you know, I think, 401 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 4: and we got down early, so we ended up throwing 402 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 4: throwing the ball quite a bit. So that's always tough 403 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 4: on on the line and everything. And there's definitely times 404 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 4: I could have got rid of the ball quicker and 405 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 4: gone through my progressions faster. But yeah, shout out to 406 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 4: that team. They play hard, they play physical, They made 407 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 4: a tough Hofes. How different was it not having a 408 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 4: play clock in that direction? 409 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's weird. 410 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. It was weird looking behind me, 411 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 4: looking over my shoulder on the side. I thought we 412 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 4: handled it okay. Obviously got us at a very bad 413 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: time of the game, unfortunately, but yeah, that was a 414 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 4: little different. 415 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: You guys hoping for a reset of the play clock 416 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: there after the spike. Man, it looks like you cut 417 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 2: point of the end zone. 418 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: Ko. 419 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's all me. I gotta be quicker in 420 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 4: and out, you know. I think just kind of lost 421 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 4: sight of it obviously physically and kind of was back 422 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: in my mind. So I gotta be better. 423 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: Picture. 424 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 3: How would you evaluate your game in a hole? 425 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 4: And you gotta watch them back. I gotta watch it back. 426 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 4: At the end of the day, we lost. That's all 427 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 4: I care about. That's all I'm concerned about. Got a 428 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 4: bad taste in my mouth that the defense stepped up 429 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 4: when we needed them at the end, got us the 430 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 4: wall back. In those situations, you know, it pains me 431 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 4: to be left there out on the field as a 432 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 4: chance and come up short. So I'm not here to 433 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 4: evaluate the rest of the play. You know, we had 434 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 4: some chances, you know, a couple of tip picks or 435 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 4: those suck. Not gonna lie. Those are tough. They kind 436 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 4: of derailed what I thought we had some decent momentum 437 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 4: going on a couple of drives, and so yeah, that 438 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 4: was tough. But at the end of the day, we lost, 439 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 4: and that's all that matters. 440 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: What's going through your head when you guys see Brian 441 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: Ornel down on the field, me coming out to attend 442 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 2: to him. 443 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, immediately just start praying for for guys. Obviously, 444 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 4: it's all you can do. I know, injuries are unfortunately 445 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 4: part of this game. We've both been there, and so 446 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 4: some of those things you just kind of right for 447 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 4: these guys, And obviously as the leader of our team, 448 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 4: you know that means that means something to everybody. So 449 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 4: I thought Justin did a great job stepping up justin 450 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 4: school there when Bo went out, and so that's obviously 451 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 4: always tough with the leader of your team in that situation, 452 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 4: but it's always the next man up mentality, you know, 453 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 4: injuries are part of this game, and praying he'll be 454 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 4: back soon. 455 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: Carson, how do you feel about about that pressure. 456 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 4: From the DNI. Yeah, I mean it's like I said earlier, 457 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 4: it's tough. I mean, when you get down, you dig 458 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 4: yourself a hole like that. The D line kind of 459 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 4: just pins their ears back and rushes and we're throwing, 460 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 4: you know, time and time again. So it's a good team. 461 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 4: It's a good team. It's a good D line. Hats 462 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 4: off to them. They play hard, and so we had 463 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: our chances I can be better, get the ball out 464 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 4: quicker too, so but yeah, it always makes it tough. 465 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 4: And they did a good job today if. 466 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: You feel the pressure from the public. 467 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 3: And the nie. 468 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 4: The crowd is honestly, if that's what you're asking about 469 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 4: the crowd atmosphere, it was fun. Honestly, it's fun. It's 470 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 4: my second time playing overseas, and so it was. I 471 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 4: thought it was a good experience, good, good turnout. Sucks 472 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 4: to lose, not gonna lie, but I thought it was 473 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 4: a cool atmosphere and a tough one to lose out there. 474 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: Okay, another AFC North team next week, and this one 475 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: will be in London. The Vikings are the first team 476 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL to play back to 477 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: back games outside of the United States of America. Hopefully 478 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: we have better news next week. 479 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's gonna be another physical defense, right, So 480 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 2: it's not gonna this this this truck here is not 481 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 2: gonna get any any easier, uh, for our offense, They're 482 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 2: gonna face another good defense. Don't know, I have we 483 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: haven't seen much on Cleveland. Don't know if their offense 484 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: is going to be as effective, so to speak, as Pittsburgh. 485 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 2: But you're gonna be out here for a whole entire week. 486 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 2: You gotta get healthy and then you got to get 487 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: ready for yet another really physical AFC North style of game. 488 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: Uh on the quick turnaround and hopefully get that win 489 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: before you go into the by.

But the Vikings 495 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: fall to two and two after a twenty four to 496 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: twenty one loss to Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. 497 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: The postgame report is provided by Lumen and for Pete versage, 498 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 1: I'm Paul Allen.
