Get the wall back six plus minutes left. Knowing you guys wore down. Uh what was going through your mind? Yuh? Just one play at a time. And I think I like our team cause I think we're built for those moments. I mean, we didn't play well at all and still had a chance at the end, and to go out there and and execute at the end, it's a sign of a high character team. We just got to correct our mistakes for this next week. Win for you guys. I mean, as you said, there's a lot of adversity

in this game. What do you think you guys can take out of this game into the next round? Oh? I think just the ability to persevere when you're not playing well, for one. You know, I think that game just felt off, you know, pretty much the whole game until the end there. And so to be able to persevere through the adversity and to have mature guys on the team who can you know, strap up and go out there and find a way to get a win at the end, it's a sign of a good team.

Even when you're playing. Do you do you feel like it was the layoff had a heart made you have a hard time getting started? I don't know what the reasons were. I think it's in playoff football stuff, you know. I think sometimes when you have a little time off, you it's hard to replicate football. You can call it that. But we'll never know for sure, And you know, I don't I don't like making huge broad statements after games

until I've seen the tape. But you know, it's just little things here and there that I know we can get corrected. How would you describe the emotion of the in the locker room after the game? I mean really happy. You know, any time you win a playoff game, it's exciting. No matter how you do it, the win is the most important thing. And I love those guys in that locker room and just proud to go to work with them.

The team is built for these moments. You haven't maybe these moments that year at all, or you have to really cut too much. We have to come from behind and win a game. What what did you see from the team during that day, at that last drive, and what made you believe it? I just think no one hesitated, you know. I think we know that we have a lot of talent. We know that if we execute, we can move the ball down the field. And I think it's important when when you're you know, might be in

a lull, to not make one mistake too. And I think our team did a good job, and Brock did a hell of a job on that drive. Juan made an amazing catch, George made a couple of great plays, Brock made a great play with his with his legs, and the O line just continued to to grind and it was a great finishing drive, your long touchdown run that you told them that you're gonna score on that play. What what was it about that play that you liked so much? What did you red you see? I don't know.

I just I was hoping I was right, like and it worked out. So now I like that play. You know, anytime we can get juice in the dot and run downhill, I'm always a fan of that. I don't know if it's gonna work or not. I just I like I like to play, and I don't know, sometimes you can speak things into existence. I guess was there hardly and make that one cut up field on that surface and I seemed like people were slipping. It was a little slippery.

I think they did a good job, you know, doing doing a lot to try to stop our run too, especially early. But those games, I think, as a runner, when they have a lot of guys on the line, you never know which play is gonna be the long one, uh when when you know? And they were mixing a lot of things up and giving different looks. So they did a good job. That was a good defense. And but as far as the the surface, it was definitely slippery at times. But you know, no excuses, no, not

at all. No, that's a that's a hell of a football team. And you know we're we're in the playoffs in the NFL, you know, so there's no surprises. Uh this stage in the game. Your position, Where do you make of Drake Green Laws And he's I mean, he's got an unbelievable amount of broken tackles on his picks this year. Does a great job. I was hoping he'd get down a little earlier, but he did run off

seven seconds. So yeah, it's amazing. How many guys he makes miss ball securities, I don't know, but I'm just glad he's on our team. Balls in your hands, man, you go make a play. You see what he sees. Thanks, guys, appreciate it.
