All right, joining us now the head coach Doug Peterson. And I know you don't pay attention to to Vegas and what the odds are on games, but you were thirteen point underdogs, largest super Bowl underdog the next year in twenty three years, and you came here and you really shocked the world. A lot of people didn't give you a chance. This team believed. How did you get them to believe with all the injuries. I just think it's a credit to that locker room. You know, each
guy really took it upon himself this week. It starts in practice. I talk about practice a lot, but it really does. And we we win in games like this on how we prepare and and I give a lot of credit to the players and the coaches really form really having our guys well prepared. And uh, I can, I can. I can think back when I was into Super Bowl yess, Denver Broncos where we were, we were, We were the heavy uh favorite, and got beat by
the Broncos in the Super Bowl. So you know, I've been there, and these guys just they don't listen to that, you know. And um, I don't know if you could probably ask anyone of those guys, they probably wouldn't even know the spread quite frankly, and and they just played together, played with a lot of passion to night, and it was good to see. Doug. Was it anything that you saw about the build up this week that would lead you to believe that they were going to come out
and play the way they did against the Rams? You know, I just think it's again the way the way they attack each day in practice. Um, you know, I know we had some adversity with the quarterback and making the change and and and you know, a different guy in the huddle, but this guy started our season two, you know, for the first two weeks, So guys were comfortable with
with Nick in there, and and the defense. I mean they they practiced all week against a high octane, high powered, very fast Temple offense, and they really handled a lot of the movement parts extremely well. And it's just a credit on how they prepared it. You had great balance with the running game, stuck with it, and you won the time of possession, so you keep their offense off
the field. How do you think it got? Of course the offensive line comfortable with the running game, but also Nick getting him settled in and then it opens up some other things downfield. Well, I think that's just something I as a play caller, I have to I have to trust the run game. I gotta trust the offensive line. And I felt like for the most part, you know,
I was able to do that. But but then the guys really took it upon themselves to execute and Um, you know, it did a great job and that just kind of settled your quarterback and then you know, a lot of the RPO, a lot of the play action game can come off that, and um had some opportunity down the field. Alshan had a tremendous game, you know, catching the ball down the field, and just you know, I think you just saw just a team effort and guys just just playing together and then having a lot
of fun out there. Speaking to the team, ever, talk about the compliment. You got some turnovers, you got a good special team play, good defensive play. Talk about how the each phase complimented the other phase of the team. You know, it's it's what we've talked about all season long. When when you can generate turnovers, your offense can capitalize and they can score and score points. And we did that tonight. You know, we had a Bante. Mattis had a huge bay. Of course, we had the biggest turnover
all at the end of the game. But and then we had you know, we had the other interception, so the ball was kind of bouncing around and our defense got that ball too. So I mean, that's that's what happens when when when you can create those turnovers. And I thought our defensive line just got after the rams and and and listen, that's that's a good that's a good team. And give them a lot of credit. They're gonna go a long way. And um, again, just a great team effort. A lot of people in the off
season said, hey, maybe trade Nick Foles for something. This is exactly why you kept him here and wanted him here, right, It's exactly right. You know, you get to moments like this and you have a veteran, veteran back up and and really, uh, you know, you can you can just just kind of kind of put last year but you know behind us and just focus on this this year and having a veteran player who can come in and under under adverse situation that he did, and um just
lead this football team. And it's a credit to him obviously, and and I think really too u for the for the rest of the team to really around, rally around him and support him as well. Go and enjoy this win, which we will ask you one question though, Yeah, who's your starting quarterback next week? I'll let you know later in the week. Perfect, stretch it all the way all Saturday, right, exactly right. Thanks,
