And 77 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: you know what, going up against a high powered offense 78 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: like that, that's the that's the key is you just 79 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: got to make sure you're putting up six points more 80 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: more than you're putting up three and uh, but at 81 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: the end of the day, putting points on the board 82 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: so that you know you yourself a chance in the 83 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. The twenty twenty season has been unlike any 84 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: other in the NFL, was one hundred and one year history, 85 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: all two hundred and fifty six regular season games.

We all had to adapt, 90 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: and we had to find innovative solutions to challenges. And 91 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: I couldn't be proud of the NFLPA and the NFL 92 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: work together, and I think on precedent of fashion to 93 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: be able to find those solutions together.
