Everybody knows I'm a champion or lead. You come away with this, so right, mixed emotions for sure. The number one thing don't ever want to take away from from a win first and foremost, especially you know, winning in the division in what week fifteen, I mean back to back years. That's that's big time and that's the standard now, you know. I remember last year. I remember I got in front of the team and I said, you know, we won the division and these donna come around often.

Let's make sure we cherish this. And I immediately, you know, regretted that regretted saying that, cause I'm like, man, no, like this this is the standard. It's not this come doesn't come around like this is the standard now. And so, uh, you know, on the topic of standard, defensively, we have a standard here and today obviously we didn't live up

to that standard. Uh you know, And so we got to make sure we come back and go to work this week, cause we got a team coming in who loves to run the football and they do it really well. So we gotta be better. But what did you just mistackles? Mis tackles? I look at myself, I look at you know, I'm always gonna point the finger at myself first and foremost, and I I gotta be the standard for everybody else. And and then when if we do miss a tackle, we gotta make sure guys are getting to the football

to get get 'em down. Uh. Too many explosive runs and then yeah, I mean that's that's honestly what what sticks out the most? Touchdown? Oh yeah, that was amazing. We needed that, especially in that moment. Uh, you know, big time played by him, and he's been playing at an all pro Here we go, Nick Bosa, get get

on in there, buddy, looking like a champion. Yeah. I mean he's been playing at an all pro level all season, leading the league and in pbu's But you know, he's been kind of talking about how he needed to get

those interceptions to really you know, lock it down. And so to have two today, one for a touchdown can't speak enough to how amazing he's been playing and needed a big time today for Is that is that where the defense can take another step get down to stretch this season in the most season by you know, putting

points on the board. I regret it. So, I mean, yeah, that that'd be great if we if we can continue to do that, but I think at the end of the day, we gotta we gotta hone in on the fundamentals that all that scoring touchdowns and stuff stuff is great, but if we can't you know, we can't tackle and stop the run, then the touchdowns doesn't matter. We just gotta play fundamentally sound defense. What's all that said, what's your option to be in a NFC West champ Man.

I'm excited. I'm excited. That was the goal coming in and that's the goal every season. That's the standard, uh here with the Niners, and so really proud of the team. The way that we've we played all season long, performed and bounce back from adversity to be able to win the division is huge. That's good. Thanks guys,
