Yeah, how are you going to try? Would you try to break all those tackles? You know what's funny is I'm I'm right there for the interception, and I see Superman Drake Greenlaw come out of nowhere and snagging him, Like, yes, I don't. I don't even look at him. I turned around. I started looking at the crowd, and then I turn around. I see fifty seven just running around swimming with the football like this. I'm like, oh heavens, but you know what. I went up to him after where I'm like, why
don't you go down? He's like one of the pick six. Like we talked about trade, that's not would a win? What a win? What is the sense in the locker room? Is it? Relief? Is it? I mean, what how do you guys feel after a game like that where you just were pushed to the age by that team? Yeah, we feel exhausted. We feel exhausted. I mean that took everything and took everyone, and we knew it would be a close game. I mean, that's that's a heck of a team and they they give us everything, and this
is the playoffs. We we knew we had to find a way to win, no matter what And I think obviously we wanted to go out there, we wanted to win it, win in a big way where it wasn't that close. But at the same time, I'm looking at it like, man, that's that's how you gotta get it done. You know, we talk about it all the time, grimey wins. That's as grimy as it gets. I think that's gonna help us going forward to knowing that it doesn't matter what what type of game it is, we can win anyway.
So that's that's a big time win right there. By our team their eight which one six and six of their eight trips, I think they got insight in the red zone or they only finished with twenty points. How were you guys able to kind of blow up in and keep them? Yeah, I mean it was unacceptable, you know, the way that we were playing, playing them to start the drives. I mean, we kept giving up explosive plays and I gotta look at it to see exactly what
was going on. But you mentioned this standing up in those red zone opportunities was crucial cause I mean, imagine if we're giving up instead of field goals or you know, we came up big with with that missfield at the end, but you know, and some we gotta clean up. Uh would love to to look at it and watch it off a win rather than the loss at home. You know, it's a tight group of guys for sure. Is it does a win like that, I don't know, bring you guys a little closer together or unite the room a
little bit more? Yeah, of course. I mean anytime, anytime you go through hard things together as a group, that's gonna harden you, that's gonna bring you closer. And if we ever, if for ever in that situation again, then we know that we could look at each other in the eye and know that we can get it done no matter what. Right understanding this game just send. But is there anything even take away from how win or turn the page next week and how you guys get
there get ready? Yeah? I mean we we look at it as an opportunity to correct a lot of different things, even though I mean, yeah, great that we won, but I mean, shoot, we would love to go into the NFC Championship game firing much more effectively, executing at a higher level, you know, doing things the way that we know that we can and that we're capable of doing. I mean, yeah, it's great we won, but shoot, it's so much to correct and get better at going into
this next game. So uh, great opportunity. When did you kind of sense that maybe this was as other teammates are rescribed, which is kind of a day that was not going your guys way? You said win, and I sense that this time of you guys made might have sent that was a free game early in the game, or just maybe things seemed to off not at all. I thought things were great all the way through. You know. I think at half we knew that even though we were up, I think it was seven to six that
we we gave them that six. It shouldn't even been that close. I feel like, and I'm sure the offense would say the same thing. There were some opportunities where they missed some opportunities in that first half. But regardless ofod like, it's it's a playoffs like this, this is how it goes. It's gonna be hard fought game all
the way through. You know. I think when we went down late in the game, it was about how do we find just a way to make a play to to ultimately get us this win and and keep chopping until until we make it happen one more, one more. Ah, what did you scare? Was I scared? Yeah? The games kind of have your hands and the offense has score touchdowns. I mean I saw I you know, I think I
saw a dunk it down to to Christian. I think with four minutes left and the clock's taken down, and then I'm telling a you know, I'm telling the sideline like, hey, this is our final drive. You know, we gotta get a touchdown and and then we're gonna be back up to get a stop to win the game. So that there was no like offense could go three and out or like they they had to score, you know, or else the game's over. So this is what it is. We won. So yeah,
