And it wasn't one of your better games. But then that final drive you really locked in and made a number of plays. Was it hard to block out kind of the the early part of the game and focus in that final sequence to that final drive? I mean, yeah, there's you know, obviously plays that you think about as the game goes on, like, man, I could have been better here, I could have hit that guy who was open. You know, you gotta just be better on third down.

Like all that kind of stuff can run through your mind. But man, it's a testament to our team because the defense gotta stop at the end field goal kicker miss and it's like we had what we wanted right in front of us, and so you have to clean the slate. You have to have a clean mind and and not try to force anything. You know, get take what the defense gives you and find a way. Man, we had time on the clock, So it's not like you gotta be you gotta be a superhero, make a play or

anything else. Do with the with the what we call the quarterback pack tells you and go through the progressions and and find a way. Wasn't as precise as it normally is. Was the raiding an issue for Yeah, I think, I mean early on. You know, obviously I put on it. I put on the glove for the first drive it was coming down and then it sprinkled, so I took it off. So I was still trying to sort of figure out what I wanted to do, and I was sort of fed up with the glove, so I just

obviously was thrown like I normally do. And yeah, there was some some times where I'm dropping back balls a little wet from the grass and uh yeah, sort of affected some macracy and stuff. But dude, that's football, So I

gotta be better in that area. What was clicking on that final drive that didn't click throughout most of the rest of the game, man, I think, I mean, at the end of the day, I think I was just able to go through progressions and and like I said, get to the checkdown efficiently and and move the chains and stay up rather than get behind. Obviously we got to a third down, BA was to clutch on it and made a great play, and you need that throughout

a drive. But you know, I think early on in the game, there was just moments where you know, the checkdown was there and and I missed and I was missing the checkdowns, and so you know when their defense did a good job with playing soft, you know, keeping everything in front of them, sort of taking away our shots and stuff. And as a quarterback man, you got to be efficient and hit the checkdowns. And so at the end I was able to do that. O line did a great job, boys did a great job and

getting open and we found a way less stressful. You know, have big leads and things like that going to the fourth quarter, you know, to get a comeback win like this. Was it important for you to get one of those under your belt? And how can it be? Yeah? I mean I think it is important. You know, earlier this year we had games like Cleveland and Minnesota and Cincinnati at one point, like you know, you're down and you

got to find a way. It's fourth quarter to the NFL, and then obviously we're in the postseason now, so we were all like, all right, this is it, you know, this is our season, and so for us to capitalize like that was huge for all of us and then obviously for myself as a quarterback, like it's good for confidence and all that, but we have too many good players man on this team, so many players that are difference makers, and we got a great defense, and so for us to not find a way it wasn't it's

not right. So for us to finally have a game like this and pull through at the end was huge for all of us. So, yeah, go back to the NFC Championship game and Kylie's check actually got a little bit emotional about it in the locker room talking about it. So for you, what does it mean to kind of get another current at the NFC Championship. Yeah, man, it's a It's been a fast year. You know, obviously it didn't end how we wanted it to last year, but you know, we've figured it one week at a time.

You know, we were all in this week. Green Bay is a great team, and so to be able to pull through and finish that for us to get back to the NFC Championship. You know, obviously, I think guys are healthy for the most part after this game, and and you know, we we want it. You know, we've been thinking about it. It's been sort of in the back of our minds, like last year we had a team to do it, and you know, we feel like obviously we didn't have a real opportunity at it after

the quarterbacks got hurt in that game. So yeah, I think we're really excited for it, but we're gonna take it one day at a time, find out who we play tomorrow, and be ready to roll for it. Earlier, I talked to Junior Bryant yesterday. He spoke about the identity of his team and being that he talked about the weather, said, exmpose a prop for you guys, but he thought that you guys had the identity to push

to any adversity. Is that kind of the sentiments that you guys are echoing right now in the locker room. That how you guys feel knowing that Junior Bryant or Poma Night or says that about you, That what you guys see each other one hundred percent. Yeah, I mean, like I said, it's the NFL, It's football. You know, they have to deal with it too. You know, it's it's not just our team's gonna go through it. It's

everybody who's on the field. So at the end of the day, man, I'm so excited and proud that, you know, we we got it done and in all aspects, the defense did their thing when it mattered most offensive at the end. Special teams did a great job. So for us, it's like, man, it's foot ball, Weather's gonna happen, and you gotta find a way and we did. So that's like the character of this team. That's what we stand for.

And and we all got each other's back. You know it's not always pretty, but man, we got each other's back. We got some real love in this locker room. And uh, everyone wants to play for each other. So yeah, the middle of that last drive, where are you trying to put that? And what kind of catched he on the third down? Yeah, I saw it was man, I saw that. You know, the middle of the field is open and that's where he was going. He did a great job of

getting inside leverage and making his break. Obviously it was tight coverage, and you know, for me it was like I just tried to put it out in front of him and and have it just be him be able to get it, and he did. He did a great job of getting underneath it and not let the ball hit the ground. So you know, Ba's baller man. Proud of him. Why he's been so good all season honestly, just the play like that's the sort of how the play calls go. Man, It's not like we're gonna get

bea so many touches or anything. If it presents itself, it presents itself. But you know, I think, like I said, green Bay did a good job. It was just you know, keep and everything in front of him. Ba is a guy that can make explosive plays, and we haven't dialed up for those kinds of plays. And like I said, green Bay sorter just made me go to the checkdown pretty quick and it did a good job with covering Ba.

But Ba also got opened on some plays that I think I could hit him, and then obviously at the end we were able to connect. Well. So that's that's the game. Thanks guys,
