00:00We had a mindset when we entered that game, what that song was gonna mean for us.

00:07And what our reaction was gonna be to it, kind of like Pavlov's dog, right?

00:11When you hear that song, it means it's time to go.

00:13Didn't know what it would look like in that moment, but

00:15that was what we were looking for from our team.

00:18Right, right.

00:19Do you feel like that moment gave you the extra energy you needed,

00:22driving the track by the game?

00:23I think there was a lot of moments stacked up in this game that were

00:26the difference, right?

00:27It's always about the next play.

00:28For us, it came down to every single play that mattered tonight.

00:31So I don't know if it was that moment, but

00:33I know I love that team that's in that locker room right there.

00:35I know they fought their ass off tonight for a tough game against a constant team

00:39that came ready to play.

00:40They played some great D tonight, and they stifled us.

00:44They held us back there.

00:47But for us to do just enough to win, I'm really pleased with the guys in that room.

00:51From right here, speaking of lockdown defense, was some of the confidence to go

00:55for the fake field goal just because of the way your defense had been playing?

00:57That and knowing it'd be a long field for them.

01:00We felt like the look was there.

01:01I mean, they had three to the side.

01:02I think he got tripped up, and we're about a half yard short.

01:05You could certainly take the points there, but then a touchdown still costs you,

01:08and you'd still lose.

01:10Now, obviously, a field goal ties it.

01:12But we've been aggressive before.

01:14We were gonna be aggressive in that moment.

01:16Right in the middle, James.

01:17And to get the interception after that from Mateo, and again,

01:20we don't have Jordan with us.

01:22What has he meant all season, but particularly in these games,

01:25that Jordan has been here for, honestly, for tonight and what Mateo's meant?

01:28I think everybody's taken notice of what kind of player Mateo is, and

01:31really just the entire front put on, did a great job tonight.

01:36And Mateo certainly has shown the ability to be a great player for us, and

01:40he gets better and better every single week.

01:41And he'd be the guy to tell you that it's about the people around him.

01:44It's about the coverage that existed on that play to create that.

01:46It's about the batted ball that was in the air that he took advantage of.

01:50So we didn't have any takeaways in this game until that play, and

01:53that one certainly was a big one.

01:55And I think that's what we're trying to do tonight.

01:57We're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

01:59And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:02And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:04And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:06And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:08And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:10And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:12And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:14And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:16And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.

02:18And we're trying to make sure that we get the coverage that we need.
