You guys to see your receiver do that, man, you know it's huge. Um, you can't say enough about Jordan. You know, the way he worked this week in practice, I don't know if I've ever seen anyone work as hard as he did, and it paid off tonight. He played great. I mean that last play man. I mean, you just can't say enough about the route and then the finish afterwards. I mean I couldn't be happier for him.

Did you really tell him in the huddle after that when they were doing the plenty of the year where he go his way? Yeah, I told him. You know, I got the call from Chip and I came to the huddle and I said, hey, I'm coming to you win right here. And sure enough, he ran a great route and then obviously the run after the catch was huge. Every now and then yeah, you see when he looked down and field that you threw it before Jones fell down? Right? Uh? Yeah,

you know, I thought Jordan did a great job. You know, it's obviously a route where he's trying to sell like an over and then come back out of it. You know, Jordan was patient sold it. You know, I thought he had Jones turned a little bit and then did a great job coming out of it. Feel like you're back in college out there throwing it up to De Marcos. Uh sometimes yeah, um yeah, I think I'm a little

bit over that now. But you know, when we first got to Philly, you know, training camp, uh OTAs, you know, it did feel you know a little bit like college. I think totaled your first half just in that that I was drive in the third quarter, We'll clicked for you for the office second. Um, so we hit the that was the big play to De Marco and then which one that was the past down aside? Yeah, um yeah, I think it was just you know, guys went in, you know, finally got an opportunity to push the ball

down the field. Um, you know, created some explosive plays, and you know, I thought, you know, for the first time, you know, in a few weeks, we really utilized our tempo the way we wanted to tonight. Um, you know, we did it in the first half and then in that drive. You know, I felt like our guys did a great job. You know, we played fast, we played you know, the way we want to play, and I think it made a difference tonight. What did you tell you guys, you get fifty li the carn class get

the ball, you know, to swipt that back to game. Yeah, you guys, we started to Yeah, I mean I said, let's go in it right here, and I think everyone said the same thing. And you know, we knew that that's what we wanted to do. We had the opportunity to do it, and you know, fortunately we were able to overtime touchdown fast. Um. No, I think that. I think that would be the first one. Yeah, is there anything different play game situations compared to First of all

we're saying, um, not really. I mean, you still try to keep everything the same. Um. You know, we put a lot of emphasis, you know on our clutch situations, you know, whether they be at the end of the game, you know. And I think because we work on it so often, you know, it feels normal when we're out there doing it. And I think that's the way you want it about sort of unsettled nature. Guys guys out, I mean, cool, I don't know what you're gonna get, but he got a pretty good job. Man, those guys.

You can't say enough about those guys. The way they played tonight. Um, you know, the way they protected me the way they blocked in the run game. Um, I mean, in every facet of the game, they played well tonight. And you know, I know there were a lot of questions about that group coming into tonight's game. Obviously Dallas has a good defense, they have a good front seven, you know, and I think those guys won the battle tonight,

you know, and it all goes to them. You know, without them, we wouldn't been able to do what we did tonight. Did you have a question not? You know, I told you guys earlier in the week, I thought we had a great week of practice. I thought, you know, it was one of our better weeks at preparation and it was nice to finally see it translate onto the field tonight. Do you guys have an extra push with DeMarco coming back to Dallas? Um, I mean, I'm sure he had a little bit more you know, uh fire

in his belly tonight. But you know, we knew this was a big for us coming off the bye week, obviously, a divisional game on the road. You know, we needed this one and hopefully this, you know, gives us some momentum going into the second half of the year. Are you pretty happy to be on the field for that fourth down instead of you guys hunting what Yeah, obviously, you know, especially you know, I think that just shows the confidence that coach had and the guys up front.

You know, he had the confidence that they were going to win those matchups and get the push, you know. And then a great job by Ryan, you know obviously, you know, finding a hole, pushing it up in there and getting the yard we needed the Carolina getting the cup on yourself? What is this team for you? Um? I mean, you know, it's a great win for our team, you know, most importantly. But you know, I'll look at the film. You know, it's obviously nice to come out

and play the way I did tonight. But you know, in this league, you can't get too high. You can't get too low. You know, we got a big one next week, so you know, I'll watch the tape, see what I need to, you know, correct what I did well tonight, and just get ready for the next one. Knowing that you can't wrest on it. I mean, do you feel, like sense greatly relief that clicked in and started? Yeah? Yeah, you know, it was nice. You know, hopefully this is

something that we can build off of. Hopefully it's something that you know we can carry into next week. Um. But you know, I think it's like coach talks about it, to get the twenty four hour role, whether you win or lose, you know, you had twenty four hours to be really happy. You got twenty four hours to be really really down, and then after that you got to move on to the next one. Jordan, you said, no one's worked harder than the light work this week. What

does that need work? Just need build? Oh man, So I think it was. I think it was Thursday. Um. In practice, you know, he had a drop in the red zone, and then after that drop, I think he took every rep on the offensive side of the ball, and then he took every rep on scout team going against the defense. And I don't know if I've ever seen the starting wide receiver do that. And it was just you could see it in his eyes, his hunger to get out there and to fix it and to improve.

And you know, I think everyone on our team saw the way that he worked, and like I said, I couldn't be happier for that guy the way he played tonight. Thank you
