Speaker 1

Sam, you have to be insanely proud of this team, as resilient as they've been coming off those three losses. Yeah, I think you can say enough about the guys in that locker room. Um, you know, obviously, I think the last three weeks were tough on us. All. Yeah, I'm not sure anyone outside that locker room gave us a chance to come in here and win tonight. But you know,

we believed in ourselves. We knew we had a chance, and we had a great week of preparation and then to come in here, you know, and get the contributions from all three phases tonight. You know, I think this is the definition of a team win. Is it crazy that you guys are still alive? And if Dallas wins tomorrow night, you guys Hyperson Yeah, you know, obviously this division, you know, it's been crazy thus far. You know, after twelve weeks, you know, we're still in the hunt to

make the playoffs. And you know, regardless of what your record is, obviously we'd like it to be much better. But you know, if you're still in the hunt at this point in the season, then you know you've got a shote year. You know, when you're work at rams, I mean seven and nine. Yeah, yeah, and then I think you know, Seattle beat New Orleans, you know in the first round, you know, after going seven and nine. But you know, it's a very similar situation to my

rookie year. Two touchdowns if you feel the need opposite, we've got seven in sea situations. Yeah, you know obviously, Um, you know, we knew anytime we had an opportunity to get points tonight that you know, we needed to convert touchdowns, you know, especially going against um, you know, that offense and that team. You know, we knew eventually at some point that it would catch up to us if we had to settle for fuel goals. So getting those two

scores was big. When you lose, guys, some guys have talked about, you know, you lose those three straight can shake confidence. Some guys have talked about tonight at least that you know, Chip reminded everyone last night that you know, we are a good football team, forget those three losses. I mean, did that feel like the case, like the hip reassured you guys last night at all? Yeah? Um, you know, I hope it didn't take Chip to reassure anyone in that room. You know, I still had the belief.

I know there are a lot of other guys who still believed in themselves and believed in this team. Um, you know, I think tonight, you know, hopefully gives us even more of that belief, you know, to know that we can come on the road and beat a really good football team. That's sorry. Uh, I think it was third and eleven to late see the first option. Just

talk about progressions play? Uh yeah, you know, it's really one of those things we're just kind of working it inside out off a squeeze, and you know, we had Jordan in the middle. Um, you know, I think they took him away, and then Coop did a great job running that route, you know, pushing it to get us depth and then making a big catch for a first down. Yeah. Yeah. What would your message to the team before the game. A lot of guys have talked about kind of gave

a pregame. What made you decide to do that? Bully? Was your message? Um? I don't know, you know, I think it was just one of those things that you know, I kind of felt like the time was right to say something, and it was, you know, just have that belief have that confidence, know that you know, we can go out there and if we do play well, we will win, you know, and go out there and we knew it was going to be a fourth quarter game

regardless of how it started. It was going to come down to the end, you know, and just to continue to fight whatever its Sprowls and barn or do for the the pace and the and the way you ran your office. Yeah, you know, those guys ran hard today. Um, you know, I think you know, we didn't have a lot of opportunities, Um, you know in the third quarter, but then you know, when we had the chance in the fourth quarter, I think we went on like a thirteen play eight r drive and the guys up front

really started getting a great movement. And then those guys you know, we're finding holes. They were running hard. Um, you know, picking up some extra arts. Obviously, that's good. It's good. It feels good in your part where you concerned it all about not being able to pick up where you left off because you felt confident about the

way you played before the injury. Um, you know, I think anytime you missed a couple games with an injury, obviously you're not actually sure how you're going to come back. But you know, I felt that I was playing really well before I got hurt. You know, I didn't know, um, exactly what it was going to be like tonight, you know, with the shoulder, But you know, I felt like, you know, I made the plays when they had to be made time. How different was the offense running? This offense? DeMarco Murray

seemed to be extremely limited? Was all Darren Sprowls early to half? Only one yard for you know, only five cars for one yard for DeMarco? How did that kind of change things up for you guys? Um? You know, to be honest, sometimes we get out there and we get going so fast that I just have a hard time really knowing who's in the game out there. But you know, I think Sprowles did a great job tonight. You know, like I said, he found some holes that

you know, might not have been there. I'm not sure if anyone else but him could have squeezed through some of those. And I thought he ran hard, um, you know, and he picked up some extra yards for us tonight. Nine offensive touchdowns? What's up? There's three nine offensive touchdowns? Oh, it's it's huge, you know, I think not just for the offense, but for the defense. I think everyone feeds off that. You know, when our special teams contributes like that.

You know, obviously, um, you can't ask them to score three touchdowns every night, but when they're able to go out and do what they did tonight, I think it just gives us, you know, a lot of energy and a lot of momentum. On our sideline was definitely would have fourteen nothing in that drive when you put them down.

How they drive? Was that confident? Yeah? That was huge. Um, you know, I think especially after you know, the past couple of weeks and when it's happened, Um, you know, I think to go down there and score, you know, and to keep it close, and then obviously to get

the punt return right before halftime or the pump block. Um, you know, that was huge Chip, you know, being come up here, for you guys to come up here, uh and and put up away and given some of the things that outside the locker room have been being said about, uh, you know Chip and the team lately, you know, does it is it even a little bit more special for you guys to start us come up to his home base and and and take one up here. Um, you know, I didn't really even think about that, but uh, you

know I think too. I'm in here, and to beat that football team, you know, is really what's special about it. You know, football team. Um, you know, it's tough to come in here and beat them. So to come up here, you know, and do what we did tonight, and I think that's what makes it special. Thanks. Thanks,
