1 00:00:12,620 --> 00:00:15,120 It's nice just to come out here and be by myself for a little bit. 2 00:00:15,940 --> 00:00:20,680 I try to come out here on off days or days when I have some time and nice 3 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:26,440 disconnect from football and the world and just get out here by myself and 4 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,480 work through some thoughts or just kind of think about nothing that has to do 5 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,920 with football or anything else and just be myself and really just enjoy 6 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,420 something that has nothing to do with my job. 7 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,200 Whose guy is that? 8 00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:42,710 I'm always gaming on Monday nights. 9 00:00:43,290 --> 00:00:44,290 Nice, Josh. 10 00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:46,850 Always friends from Athens. 11 00:00:47,710 --> 00:00:52,930 Sitting a couple hours on a Monday night to talk with your friends and game and 12 00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:55,870 talk shit and all the good things that come with that. 13 00:00:56,170 --> 00:01:01,730 I want a nice break from life and the season, but two, a great way to stay in 14 00:01:01,730 --> 00:01:02,730 touch with friends. 15 00:01:02,890 --> 00:01:08,690 I feel like this life, you have very little privacy, so I try to keep as much 16 00:01:08,690 --> 00:01:09,690 I can, I would say. 17 00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:17,170 So we start here at the start of the drive, and then this power outlet is the 18 00:01:17,170 --> 00:01:20,810 new set of downs. My boys started wanting to play football more this year 19 00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:25,110 the house, and so I would come home from work and be ready to kind of call it a 20 00:01:25,110 --> 00:01:28,170 day. And they're at that age now where they're jumping off the couch and 21 00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:29,910 saying, hey, Dad, you want to go play football in the basement? 22 00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:33,650 I'm like, not really, but here we go. 23 00:01:34,270 --> 00:01:38,090 I know that this is a short window that I'll look back someday and wish I could 24 00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:39,590 get back, and so I want to. 25 00:01:40,190 --> 00:01:42,730 prioritize the time with them, maximize the time with them. 26 00:01:43,790 --> 00:01:47,430 It's a good way for us to kind of spend time together and get away from the 27 00:01:47,430 --> 00:01:48,430 daily grind of football. 28 00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:54,010 He was inaccurate in this game. His arm looks weak in this game. If they don't 29 00:01:54,010 --> 00:01:58,910 win the Super Bowl, it's going to be a tough regular season to get through next 30 00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:05,890 year. Joe Burrow, if you're 1 -7 in one possession game, you try not to 31 00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:07,310 let the... 32 00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:14,450 The media narratives infiltrate your little bubble, but it's impossible not 33 00:02:14,450 --> 00:02:18,450 to. You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get 34 00:02:18,450 --> 00:02:19,349 up in either one. 35 00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:22,810 Kirk Cousins cannot play that bad, especially when it's a guy like Michael 36 00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:26,410 who took in the top ten in the wings. I think a lot of it you do end up seeing. 37 00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:29,470 You try to avoid it. You know, I don't use social media much during the season. 38 00:02:29,810 --> 00:02:34,210 Some quarterbacks are just blessed with being in great situations. 39 00:02:34,970 --> 00:02:36,030 The media does. 40 00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:41,940 A great job of building narratives about our game and about the players. 41 00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:44,340 Not all positive. 42 00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:46,480 I think that's good for the game. 43 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:50,700 It's not great for the mental health of the players often. 44 00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:52,820 This team is 4 -8. 45 00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:57,500 Jared Goff was an MVP candidate right up until he played that game against the 46 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,320 Houston Texans. It does not matter how good you played two weeks ago. We cannot 47 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,200 give Joe Burrow a pass. This team is losing right now. 48 00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:05,540 A lot. 49 00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:09,620 I work really hard to maintain my discipline and my routine. 50 00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:16,780 Part of that is handling all the things that come with being an NFL quarterback. 51 00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:17,460 For 52 00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:27,340 me, 53 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,740 I use it as motivation if it's anything negative and try to build a chip on your 54 00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:36,260 shoulder with it. Ignore the noise. 55 00:03:36,540 --> 00:03:41,220 Because once you get into the game, you know, you're just so hyper -focused. 56 00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:44,660 And at the end of the day, you just got to go and perform on Sundays. That's 57 00:03:44,660 --> 00:03:45,660 what matters. 58 00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:04,580 Some breaking news out of last night's game. Somebody was trying to break into 59 00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:05,580 Joe Burrow's house. 60 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,640 This sprawling Ohio home, a crime scene. 61 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,360 Thieves tore through the property while the quarterback took the field for 62 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,920 Monday Night Football nearly 1 ,000 miles away. 63 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,880 The latest in a string of high -profile burglaries appearing to target 64 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,940 professional athletes as they're competing on the road. 65 00:04:25,450 --> 00:04:30,170 The NFL warning criminals use public records to find players' addresses and 66 00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:31,550 conduct extensive surveillance. 67 00:04:31,850 --> 00:04:35,790 Then, by tracking team schedules and the social media accounts of players and 68 00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:39,690 their families, they wait until homes are empty, often during game. 69 00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:44,750 Some fucking course has happened to me right now. 70 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:50,970 When you're on cloud nine, something's going to bring you right back down. 71 00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:54,630 I just felt like that kind of year that it was. 72 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,400 Hamilton County Sheriff's deputies responded to several calls involving a 73 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,560 -in at Burroughs on Monday night while he was in Dallas for Monday Night 74 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,480 Football. The calls for the break -in came in sometime after 8 p .m. 75 00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:14,040 The incident report shows someone broke a first -floor window on the back of the 76 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,240 home and ransacked at least one room. 77 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,000 The FBI is working with local authorities to find their suspects. 78 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,360 I just get uncomfortable when, you know, my life is very public. 79 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,620 And, you know, that comes with the job, but, you know, there's certain parts of 80 00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:36,020 your life that are, like, yours. 81 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,380 Your house is one of those. 82 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000 When that gets violated, people find out where you live, all these 83 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000 different things. 84 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,000 Not everybody's failures at their job are in front of the whole world. It's a 85 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,980 very vulnerable position to be in. I put myself in that position because I love 86 00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:56,980 it. 87 00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:03,140 I don't like the other part of it. 88 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,380 And truly, that was the impetus to cancel the Batmobile? 89 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,920 Yeah. 90 00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:16,880 Yeah, that was, you know, I didn't end up getting the Batmobile because, 91 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,460 you know, I just had other things I wanted to deal with 92 00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:24,820 at that point. 93 00:06:27,050 --> 00:06:29,710 I'll start out by saying something before any questions today. 94 00:06:31,550 --> 00:06:37,970 So obviously, everybody has heard what has happened. I feel like my 95 00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:40,530 privacy has been violated in more ways than one. 96 00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:46,350 And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to 97 00:06:46,350 --> 00:06:47,810 share. So that's all I got to say about that. 98 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,800 They got all my jewelry. 99 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:03,860 But they could have stolen way worse things than that. I'm not going crazy 100 00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:04,920 some jewelry. 101 00:07:05,180 --> 00:07:07,680 It was expensive, but it was all insured. 102 00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:13,320 I fucking always come in the morning, I look at the New York Post. That's what I 103 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,320 do. 104 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,460 You've got to be fucking kidding me. I know, right? 105 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,080 Dude, it sucks. 106 00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:21,120 Stop. It sucks. 107 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,740 You've got to deal with all. That's probably the worst. 108 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,620 Yeah. That's the only part I'm upset about. All my business is out there. 109 00:07:29,620 --> 00:07:30,620 your fucking shit. 110 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,540 I got news vans camped out by the house. 111 00:07:35,260 --> 00:07:36,260 Yeah, it sucks. 112 00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:43,320 So, we'll see if I end up moving or not. I don't know. 113 00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:44,379 That bad? 114 00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:49,160 Yeah. I mean, I just... Nah, everybody knows. The whole world knows where I 115 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,200 now. It's like... 116 00:07:51,010 --> 00:07:54,170 But that hasn't been very fun to deal with. And I didn't know you knew right 117 00:07:54,170 --> 00:07:57,010 away. I didn't know what was going on in the locker room. Yeah, freaking pumped 118 00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:58,070 up after a big win. 119 00:07:58,590 --> 00:08:01,150 Walk in, first thing I hear. Is that not our year? 120 00:08:01,610 --> 00:08:05,570 Right. Hey, good job. Oh, by the way, you got nothing left in your house. 121 00:08:06,410 --> 00:08:09,850 We catch a freaking break, and then I come back to that. 122 00:08:10,610 --> 00:08:11,610 Brutal. 123 00:08:13,610 --> 00:08:18,890 I know that the more success that you have, the more people are going to. 124 00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:24,380 Care about the thing that you do, but doesn't make it easier 125 00:08:24,380 --> 00:08:32,980 Yeah, 126 00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:40,140 I'm good. I'm good. I was a bit of a clerical error Because we had walked 127 00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:43,380 through and so when you walk through they don't really know what you could 128 00:08:43,380 --> 00:08:46,080 done or couldn't have done if We had had a full speed practice I wouldn't I 129 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,820 would not have been on the on the report because I would have done everything If 130 00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:52,520 I'm going to be on the injured list any time I don't feel 100%, then I would 131 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,640 have been on the injured list every week of practice for my entire football 132 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,760 career, including college. 133 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,880 So the way I've viewed it is if I take every single rep in practice and I'm a 134 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,640 full participant, then I'm a full participant. 135 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,080 And I'm not basing it on the pain I feel because I feel pain every week. 136 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,920 When the Falcons visit the Vikings on Sunday, it will be the third time during 137 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,580 Kirk Hudson's career when he faces one of his former teams. 138 00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:20,850 Cousins spent six seasons with the Vikings, earning the nickname Kirko 139 00:09:20,850 --> 00:09:21,890 while he was there. 140 00:09:22,130 --> 00:09:25,410 He's top three in Vikings history in many quarterback categories. 141 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:29,310 This is unbelievably massive. 142 00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:31,670 My fault, DJ. 143 00:09:31,870 --> 00:09:35,930 And a huge referendum on him as the player and as the leader and as an 144 00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:36,990 as a human being. 145 00:09:38,650 --> 00:09:39,910 Do I need to throw the other one? 146 00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:45,070 He not only has the whole, oh my God, I'm going back to Minnesota thing. 147 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:49,060 He has that I'm coming off with probably the worst game of my career last week. 148 00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:53,340 If he doesn't play well in this game, I think they are going to sit him down. I 149 00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:56,500 think if he plays poorly, I think he's going to get sat down. Like, this could 150 00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:58,480 be it. I don't even know where we go from this. 151 00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:12,100 I feel like going over the 152 00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:13,100 game plan in this manner. 153 00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:17,840 Getting ready for the Vikings defense and Coach Flores, it's really important 154 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,780 because he does present so many problems, and if you don't have deep 155 00:10:22,780 --> 00:10:25,540 answers, you could be left holding the ball and getting stuck, and I think 156 00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:30,800 that's what he's done to a lot of people this year. So of all weeks, you know, 157 00:10:30,820 --> 00:10:34,100 there's some weeks where it's probably less important, but this week it's 158 00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:35,100 crucial. 159 00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:40,900 I had never until two weeks ago had two straight games without a touchdown pass, 160 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,080 ever. 161 00:10:42,419 --> 00:10:44,220 And then I have three straight now. 162 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,540 And, yeah, I mean, to throw zero touchdowns and six picks in three games. 163 00:10:53,260 --> 00:10:58,560 I think sometimes the picks do snowball because you get behind, and so you say, 164 00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:02,160 look, I've got to force this ball in here on fourth down because we're not 165 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,660 really getting anywhere if I don't. 166 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:10,980 I felt like in the Chargers game, several of them were not even that. 167 00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:11,980 still in the game. 168 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,040 And so it was, yeah, I would say it was probably my worst game ever. 169 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,820 Do you hear all the noise that people push within? 170 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,620 It's hard not to. I think you also know that you've heard so much noise before 171 00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:30,780 throughout your career, and the noise becomes reality if it keeps up. But that 172 00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:36,540 was always the case. I always had been playing under a belief that I have to 173 00:11:36,540 --> 00:11:37,540 play well today. 174 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,220 my role may be in jeopardy. And that's kind of the way it's always been. I've 175 00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:43,300 never not felt that. 176 00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:51,180 You certainly understand that, like, you can't play poorly or have a lack of 177 00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:55,180 production three weeks in a row, expect it to be four or five, six weeks in a 178 00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:58,520 row, and then expect to be in a great place. Like, it has to at some point 179 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,160 Okay, I went with the Falcons t -shirt. 180 00:12:02,540 --> 00:12:03,940 I hate to wear it under the sweater. 181 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000 We're fine. 182 00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:10,900 Making sure everybody's okay down there. Yeah, no doubt. 183 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:11,979 No doubt. 184 00:12:11,980 --> 00:12:12,980 You feeling all right? 185 00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:14,980 Yes. 186 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,340 That didn't sound like a compliment. 187 00:12:17,580 --> 00:12:19,080 Yes. Let's see. 188 00:12:19,540 --> 00:12:21,800 I think I'll put the boy stuff in this suitcase. 189 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,940 Do you get the sense the boys are looking forward to going back to 190 00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:27,660 they even know what's going on? Two things. 191 00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:30,320 Cooper's up for whatever. Turner said. 192 00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:32,880 Why are we hanging out with Vikings? 193 00:12:33,660 --> 00:12:35,840 Why are we hanging out with them if they're on the Vikings? 194 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,420 So he gets it. When I told him that we were... He gets it. I didn't think he 195 00:12:40,420 --> 00:12:45,460 would get it. And then he said... Because when we moved here, he said, 196 00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:49,660 our Minnesota neighbors coming by? I'm like, buddy, they're not coming by. And 197 00:12:49,660 --> 00:12:52,280 then he said something like, when are we getting our house back? 198 00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:58,140 Yeah, that's not happening. And I said, we're not. And he was like... Okay. 199 00:12:58,620 --> 00:13:00,540 Yep. So that's where we're at with that. 200 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,700 That was a very emotional 24 hours. 201 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,360 We knew it would be. 202 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,420 To have to go back and play your team not even a year later, it's pretty 203 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,240 I am so excited to go back. I feel like we left in January and we never went 204 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,300 back to move. I'm trying to think. Yeah, we didn't, did we? We just packed our 205 00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:24,700 house and said, we'll see what happens. 206 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,100 That's a good point. We were in such a hurry and we just said. 207 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,180 We don't need to go back. We'll be too sad. 208 00:13:30,980 --> 00:13:34,740 I wonder how the fan base, during the game, they'll be like any other game, 209 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:35,859 which they should be. 210 00:13:35,860 --> 00:13:40,100 But you also wonder, like, during warm -ups, during pregame, postgame, are they 211 00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:45,580 going to be snarky or are they going to be, you know, warm? And you don't know. 212 00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:47,060 If they boo you. 213 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,620 I think we'll get booed. I think we'll get booed when you take the field for 214 00:13:51,620 --> 00:13:54,720 first play. Okay. I think you get booed. I think that's part of playing pro 215 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,720 football. 216 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,880 If you get booed additionally, you know, then it's like, okay. Yeah, we'll see. 217 00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:02,700 We'll see. 218 00:14:03,060 --> 00:14:07,060 I thought somebody tweeted, like, to the Vikings fans, like, what are we doing? 219 00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:09,260 Are we going to boo them? Are we going to cheer for them? 220 00:14:09,780 --> 00:14:10,820 And it was like a take. 221 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:13,960 That's a good question. And then we think, like, okay, other people are 222 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,760 wondering, too, because we'll see. 223 00:14:24,820 --> 00:14:25,820 What's going on? 224 00:14:26,270 --> 00:14:27,270 How we doing, man? 225 00:14:27,390 --> 00:14:28,390 How's the family? 226 00:14:28,830 --> 00:14:31,410 Everybody's good, man. Everybody's good? How are you? How's Tochia doing? 227 00:14:31,770 --> 00:14:32,770 Great, bro. 228 00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:34,150 We're doing a good job, man. 229 00:14:34,510 --> 00:14:36,230 How are you? How's the fam? We're good, man. 230 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:37,470 It's been a lot of change. 231 00:14:37,530 --> 00:14:41,930 Yeah. A lot of change, but it's very weird to be back here. A lot of 232 00:14:42,190 --> 00:14:43,250 I can only imagine, man. 233 00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:47,130 You know, we pull in our hotels, our Mall of America. 234 00:14:47,850 --> 00:14:50,910 My window looked out at the hotel they put us up in when I first moved here as 235 00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:53,750 free agent. So the memories just come flooding back. 236 00:14:54,050 --> 00:14:55,690 You know, Cooper was only like seven months old. 237 00:14:56,410 --> 00:14:59,270 And it's amazing to think of all that's happened. Exactly. 238 00:15:00,030 --> 00:15:04,810 It hit me when we were landing in Minnesota, you know, when I opened my 239 00:15:04,810 --> 00:15:07,910 on the Delta flight and look out the window and see going over the practice 240 00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:11,570 facility and going over our old house and going over places that I had done so 241 00:15:11,570 --> 00:15:12,830 much life at for six years. 242 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:24,980 I had never been to Minnesota before we went there, and so just remembering that 243 00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:29,160 and seeing what we did in six years, the friends we made and the memories we 244 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:35,280 made, it's processing a lot. So that was a crazy day. 245 00:15:38,540 --> 00:15:39,540 Thank you. 246 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,040 Great job, guys. Thank you. 247 00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:43,660 It was an emotional experience in warm -ups. 248 00:15:45,790 --> 00:15:49,950 I don't know quite why. I was a little bit surprised by how much it hit me and 249 00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:53,430 just seeing how much my boys had grown, you know, knowing that Turner wasn't 250 00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:54,470 even born when we moved to Minnesota. 251 00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:56,130 Cooper was only nine months old. 252 00:15:56,490 --> 00:15:59,910 And just seeing them now as a seven - and a five -year -old, you know, that 253 00:15:59,910 --> 00:16:03,430 emotional for me. But, you know, you have a job to do. 254 00:16:03,710 --> 00:16:07,610 And many times you feel like, you know, I can channel this emotion to play even 255 00:16:07,610 --> 00:16:12,260 better. Kirk Cousins, who makes his return to Minneapolis, coming off 256 00:16:12,260 --> 00:16:16,680 the worst three -game stretch of his career, trying to get back on track 257 00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:19,380 Welcome home, Kirk. Let's do it, baby. Let's go, baby. Let's go, Jesse. 258 00:16:21,660 --> 00:16:22,100 That 259 00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:31,140 first 260 00:16:31,140 --> 00:16:32,880 drive was... 261 00:16:33,390 --> 00:16:37,370 as loud as I've played in in a really long time. I mean, it was deafeningly 262 00:16:37,370 --> 00:16:40,030 loud. They brought the juice, no surprise. 263 00:16:41,270 --> 00:16:43,810 They're great fans, and they did their job that day. 264 00:16:44,630 --> 00:16:47,250 Cousins said at some point they're going to tell me you're finished. 265 00:16:47,570 --> 00:16:52,510 But until that time comes, I'm going to keep on trying to pick myself up off of 266 00:16:52,510 --> 00:16:54,730 the mat and keep that being the story of his career. 267 00:16:57,170 --> 00:16:59,850 On third down, Cousins, there's Mooney! 268 00:17:02,570 --> 00:17:04,190 Cousins hits one. London. 269 00:17:04,829 --> 00:17:08,150 Drake London stays on his feet and gets the first down. 270 00:17:08,369 --> 00:17:11,630 Cousins, his first two throws downfield are sharp. 271 00:17:12,430 --> 00:17:14,349 First and goal at the Minnesota stick. 272 00:17:15,150 --> 00:17:19,390 Warner in motion to the left. Snap it. Hand to Algier. Running right. 273 00:17:20,329 --> 00:17:21,329 Touchdown Atlanta. 274 00:17:21,609 --> 00:17:25,230 Whoa. And an emphatic spike with a right hand. 275 00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:37,460 That was a great way to start the game. You know, when you have that, you know, 276 00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:42,660 hostile crowd to be able to get on the board right away with a touchdown, it 277 00:17:42,660 --> 00:17:43,820 a great way to start the game. 278 00:17:44,260 --> 00:17:45,540 Kirk, what's better than this, man? 279 00:17:45,860 --> 00:17:46,479 What's that? 280 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,680 What's better than this? Nothing, man. 281 00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:50,820 We got to get this thing done, man. One play at a time. 282 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,440 Third down and eight, crowd roaring at Tustin. 283 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:56,700 That's a card. Mikey swinging pressure again. 284 00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,780 Going to send it down the field for Mooney, and it's caught. 285 00:18:00,140 --> 00:18:02,120 Darnell Mooney inside the 10. 286 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,780 Cousins with a beauty of a throw for 52 yards. 287 00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:11,300 I like what I've seen from Kirk Cousins. 288 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,260 Second down, sixth, comes in, rips it to the sideline, Drake London. 289 00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:28,020 Screen here, Ray -Ray McLeod having a huge day. 290 00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:29,400 McLeod slips inside. 291 00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,220 First down, Ray -Ray. 292 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,880 We've called a few Falcons games this year. 293 00:18:34,260 --> 00:18:36,920 To me, this is their best game plan. 294 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,720 Now it's Kemba shipping into the end zone, but John Robinson touched down 295 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,720 Atlanta. 296 00:18:43,460 --> 00:18:44,660 Good job, V. Good job, V. 297 00:18:49,390 --> 00:18:52,010 That was a great block on the touchdown run. 298 00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:53,630 Great job, man. Great job. 299 00:18:54,530 --> 00:18:56,230 I felt pretty good about the way we played. 300 00:18:56,730 --> 00:18:58,210 You know, felt like we were moving the football. 301 00:18:59,450 --> 00:19:00,490 Felt like we had a good plan. 302 00:19:00,810 --> 00:19:03,990 And thought it was going to be anybody's game in the second half. Third down and 303 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:04,990 six at the 12. 304 00:19:05,090 --> 00:19:06,830 Darnold's shoot for Addison. The catch. 305 00:19:07,150 --> 00:19:08,150 Touchdown. 306 00:19:09,250 --> 00:19:10,250 He's the real deal. 307 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,280 Three consecutive losses for the Falcons. They've gone from looking like 308 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,200 were going to cruise through a division title to just trying to hang on. 309 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:22,780 Opportunity to return right here. 310 00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:27,400 Ray Ray McLeod has had a big day in the return during the receiving game. 311 00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:28,640 Fumbles it right here. 312 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,520 Who's got it? 313 00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:33,140 Minnesota football. 314 00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:38,020 The game was a little bit tough. 315 00:19:38,540 --> 00:19:44,040 I wouldn't say it was the most fun to be on the other team. 12 .53 to go in the 316 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,500 ballgame and a kickoff return fumble by McLeod. 317 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,500 Let's just go make some plays here down the fourth quarter, man. 318 00:19:52,820 --> 00:19:53,940 Let's just go be playmakers. 319 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,380 We go down 35 -21, and I felt that if we can score a touchdown there, you know, 320 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,760 35 -28, we can get a stop. 321 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,880 Now it's a one -position game. We have the football. 322 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,180 Atlanta's going to be in the two -minute. 323 00:20:07,050 --> 00:20:09,170 for the remaining six and a half of this game. 324 00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:11,590 Three timeouts left for Atlanta. 325 00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:12,830 Down two scores. 326 00:20:14,650 --> 00:20:16,770 First and ten from the Minnesota 25. 327 00:20:18,250 --> 00:20:22,810 Cousins got rid of it right before he was hit. Byron Murphy with a one -handed 328 00:20:22,810 --> 00:20:23,810 pick. 329 00:20:29,370 --> 00:20:31,710 Third turnover today by Atlanta. 330 00:20:31,930 --> 00:20:34,430 Two of them from Cousins, one on special teams. 331 00:20:35,130 --> 00:20:39,090 And it's close to spelling doom, close to spelling a fourth consecutive defeat. 332 00:20:39,470 --> 00:20:42,110 Things spiraling away from the Falcons this year. 333 00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:44,810 I felt like that was when the game got away from us. 334 00:20:45,170 --> 00:20:47,750 Now, a lot of the same questions are going to persist. 335 00:20:48,130 --> 00:20:51,610 The Cousins did some good things today, but two interceptions and what looks 336 00:20:51,610 --> 00:20:53,530 like it's headed for a fourth consecutive defeat. 337 00:20:54,110 --> 00:20:57,230 You're going to continue to hear questions about, is this time to give 338 00:20:57,230 --> 00:20:58,350 Penix Jr. a shot? 339 00:20:58,590 --> 00:21:02,770 It makes sense. I get it. If you ask Kirk Cousins, I'm sure he understands 340 00:21:02,790 --> 00:21:04,430 He's a big boy. He's been around this business. 341 00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:09,790 for a long time, but I don't think the Falcons are going to abandon Kirk 342 00:21:09,790 --> 00:21:13,910 less than one season into a four -year free agent contract. 343 00:21:16,290 --> 00:21:20,230 But all that being said, that conversation is definitely not going to 344 00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:21,230 down, that's for sure. 345 00:21:23,690 --> 00:21:27,110 I don't even know that a long -form Netflix show can capture all that was 346 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:32,130 through my head, knowing how the game was right there. 347 00:21:32,650 --> 00:21:37,890 and that we can make that play and didn't, you know, that was a tough throw 348 00:21:37,890 --> 00:21:38,890 well. 349 00:21:39,690 --> 00:21:42,950 Great job, man. Happy for you. Great job. You're playing awesome. Keep it 350 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:46,790 rolling, man. The people here fucking love you, dude. I appreciate it. Thanks. 351 00:21:47,590 --> 00:21:49,470 Great job. Keep it rolling. Yep. 352 00:21:51,090 --> 00:21:52,090 Go. Go. 353 00:21:52,510 --> 00:21:53,690 Great job, man. Doing awesome. 354 00:21:54,090 --> 00:21:55,490 Hey, I just want to tell you something. 355 00:21:55,790 --> 00:21:59,290 Every day I appreciate the days I got a chance to live. No, thanks for saying 356 00:21:59,290 --> 00:21:59,949 that. Likewise. 357 00:21:59,950 --> 00:22:01,090 Likewise. Thank you. Great job. 358 00:22:01,350 --> 00:22:02,350 Great job, man. Thank you. 359 00:22:02,670 --> 00:22:06,890 You know, it was a pretty sour feeling, you know, to lose the way we did. It 360 00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:11,590 hurt.

Thank you. 396 00:23:38,540 --> 00:23:41,760 You know, everything is always discussed when you go watch the tape and do all 397 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,880 those type of things. But, like, Kirk Cousins is our quarterback. 398 00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:47,180 You know, Kirk played significantly better than he did the week before. 399 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,860 We got a chance to go out there and focus on us, and we'll do whatever is 400 00:23:50,860 --> 00:23:54,000 to go win football games. And we got to find ways to do that better. 401 00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:04,280 High school football, dude. I loved high school football, bro. 402 00:24:05,150 --> 00:24:07,410 I started high school at 145. 403 00:24:07,930 --> 00:24:09,730 6 '2", 145. 404 00:24:10,070 --> 00:24:13,910 How were you in high school? As a freshman, what were you doing? 405 00:24:14,450 --> 00:24:17,410 I was a basketball player as a freshman. 406 00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:19,730 I played football. 407 00:24:20,330 --> 00:24:21,330 I was quarterback. 408 00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:25,590 I was backup JV quarterback. 409 00:24:25,810 --> 00:24:27,830 I was quarterback for the freshman team. 410 00:24:28,370 --> 00:24:32,110 I got called up for varsity corner a couple times. 411 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,420 I was focused on basketball. 412 00:24:36,460 --> 00:24:37,980 I had a good year my sophomore year. 413 00:24:38,380 --> 00:24:45,140 I threw for, like, 3 ,800 yards or something, a bunch of touchdowns. But, 414 00:24:45,140 --> 00:24:49,160 I still didn't think, like, I was that good at football yet. I saw this clip on 415 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,060 YouTube. It just popped up. It was, like, you throwing at, like, a high 416 00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:54,980 camp or something your senior year. 417 00:24:55,380 --> 00:24:57,460 Yeah. I was like, he's coming along. Yeah. 418 00:24:58,180 --> 00:24:59,920 I couldn't really throw. I mean, I could. 419 00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:03,720 Like, in the game, I would, like, I could ball, but, like, when I would go 420 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,300 camps with other guys and the coaches would watch me throw, like, I never 421 00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:11,840 thought that, like, I felt like there were, like, 15 to 20 guys that could 422 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,100 always throw better than me at all those camps. I was like, fuck, there's no way 423 00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:16,100 I'm playing D1. 424 00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:17,120 Really? Yeah. 425 00:25:17,260 --> 00:25:19,620 Has your throwing motion changed since you were 15? 426 00:25:20,260 --> 00:25:21,260 Yeah. 427 00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:23,580 Definitely. In what way? 428 00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:25,120 In every way possible. 429 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,820 In every possible way. 430 00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:29,620 Durable set. 431 00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:35,780 Joe has been excellent for the bulk of this season. 432 00:25:36,540 --> 00:25:39,600 But overall, he's got to start racking up wins. 433 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,500 Very unlikely for the playoffs, but it could happen. 434 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,360 It's going to take a long shot at Hail Mary, but quite an end to the season it 435 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:50,000 would be if the Bengals came ripping down the end here. 436 00:25:53,860 --> 00:25:56,900 You look around the National Football League, there's few quarterbacks playing 437 00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,440 the position better than Joe Burr. 438 00:25:59,470 --> 00:26:03,410 The hottest quarterback in the National Football League, Joe Burrow. 439 00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:08,130 Burrow looking. 440 00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:11,990 Dancing around. 441 00:26:12,370 --> 00:26:16,450 Another man he skips around. Throws to the touchdown. 442 00:26:18,810 --> 00:26:20,010 No, fuck no. 443 00:26:22,570 --> 00:26:24,870 Burrow bakes the handoff, throws a pass. 444 00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:51,640 up the touchdown signal. 445 00:26:54,220 --> 00:27:00,620 A brilliant play by Joe Burrow for a new 446 00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:02,040 franchise record. 447 00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:06,020 36 touchdown passes this year, the most ever. 448 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,420 By a Bengals quarterback in a single season breaking his own record. 449 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,260 Throws across his body for first down and more. 450 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,800 And that's a delay of game. 451 00:27:29,540 --> 00:27:30,540 Delay of game. 452 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,280 Offense. Third and seven. 453 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,240 Here comes Murray up the middle on pressure. 454 00:27:37,580 --> 00:27:39,020 Burrow floats it towards Chase. 455 00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:42,220 And a diving interception by Darryl Worley. 456 00:27:42,820 --> 00:27:47,080 He takes the interception on the underthrown ball from Joe Burrow. And 457 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:54,080 the Bengals flinch, costing him five 458 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,080 yards. 459 00:27:55,260 --> 00:27:56,260 Ball start. 460 00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:59,880 Oh, boy. 461 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,120 That's one thing you don't want to do, is give a five valuable yards in the red 462 00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:11,340 zone. Like, we're winning the game pretty handedly, and we just start to 463 00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:16,800 mental mistakes. Just in my opinion, it means we weren't focused on the task at 464 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,800 hand. 465 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:23,780 And again, there's a pre -snap penalty. 466 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,320 False start. 467 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:47,940 Just that tiny flinch enough to send Cincinnati back into a third and long. 468 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,040 Ready! 469 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,300 Movement again on the left side of the line. 470 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:03,000 When you have simple mistakes that you can control, that is not up to standard. 471 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,350 The penalty train rolls. on. 472 00:29:13,310 --> 00:29:15,250 What the fuck are we doing, man? 473 00:29:15,970 --> 00:29:17,290 Wake the fuck up. 474 00:29:18,070 --> 00:29:20,370 Fucking Maryland State all fucking day. 475 00:29:26,770 --> 00:29:30,410 Way to finish the day. That's a great drive to finish it. I know it's a 476 00:29:30,410 --> 00:29:33,170 frustrating, embarrassing performance by us. Fucking embarrassing. 477 00:29:33,390 --> 00:29:35,610 We'll address it at the same time. 478 00:29:36,450 --> 00:29:37,450 Fuck that. 479 00:29:37,890 --> 00:29:38,890 Fuck that. 480 00:29:39,150 --> 00:29:40,990 We sucked today.

You know, you can get into the weeds on some good conversations with 493 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,320 You know, those guys are usually the best and some of my favorite people in 494 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,680 world. How's Panama? 495 00:30:35,980 --> 00:30:36,980 It was sick. 496 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,240 Really? Yeah. 497 00:30:38,340 --> 00:30:39,340 What'd you do out there? 498 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:40,880 What'd I do? Did you do anything fun? 499 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,460 Yeah, they took me to the canal. 500 00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:46,140 Got to see that. And then, like, around the city. 501 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,319 You loved that? 502 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:53,000 Yeah. I'm kind of... I mean, the canal... Eighth wonder of the world. 503 00:30:53,180 --> 00:30:54,320 Pretty big deal, yeah. 504 00:30:54,540 --> 00:30:56,340 Yeah, I mean... But... 505 00:30:59,419 --> 00:31:05,420 The most notable would be, yeah, the disconnect to Pacific and Atlantic. 506 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,640 It's a big deal. 507 00:31:06,780 --> 00:31:11,800 How big was the land bridge before they opened it up? 508 00:31:12,790 --> 00:31:17,070 Very, I mean, minimal, but still it's a pretty, but I think the bigger problem 509 00:31:17,070 --> 00:31:20,630 is the altitude of the ocean is different, so you have to lock it down 510 00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:21,269 it back up. 511 00:31:21,270 --> 00:31:26,250 Yeah, it takes like almost all day to get through. Get one through all day? 512 00:31:26,370 --> 00:31:27,370 Yeah. 513 00:31:27,450 --> 00:31:28,470 That's not that efficient. 514 00:31:28,810 --> 00:31:33,710 In the morning, I think it's the Pacific side goes through, and then afternoon 515 00:31:33,710 --> 00:31:36,490 they open up the Atlantic side, so it's one at a time. 516 00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:49,980 Well, they wanted guns. 517 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,840 And I was like, I don't know about guns, guys. 518 00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:59,720 And so I was in the weapon mindset, and I was like, what's a cool weapon? 519 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,620 Samurai swords, I think, are pretty dang cool. 520 00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:07,840 I bought them all samurai swords. 521 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:14,660 And they all came with a description of when they were made and, you know, what 522 00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:16,440 samurais used them. 523 00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:18,940 Number one, I think history is cool. 524 00:32:19,700 --> 00:32:24,020 I think having artifacts from history is even cooler. I don't think they would 525 00:32:24,020 --> 00:32:28,200 go and buy one of those swords on their own. And so, you know, in the past I've 526 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:34,940 done watches or travel vouchers, but I think unique things like that, 527 00:32:35,060 --> 00:32:38,520 you put more thought. 528 00:32:38,990 --> 00:32:43,350 I think they appreciated it a little more, and I think they were pretty cool. 529 00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:46,830 Welcome to Cincinnati. 530 00:32:47,030 --> 00:32:48,410 Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. 531 00:32:49,030 --> 00:32:53,510 The Bengals still a little bit of hope. Can they find some late -season magic to 532 00:32:53,510 --> 00:32:55,690 somehow get them into the playoff? 533 00:32:56,310 --> 00:33:01,610 We had a tough start, but now we're starting to string together some wins 534 00:33:01,850 --> 00:33:02,669 Let's go, baby. 535 00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:07,150 I've got great teammates and coaches around me, and when you start to win, 536 00:33:07,230 --> 00:33:09,790 everybody... Gets a little more excited to come into work. 537 00:33:11,610 --> 00:33:12,710 Where'd you find those swords? 538 00:33:13,490 --> 00:33:20,370 So, my assistant, her uncle, Sylvester Stallone, when he was playing 539 00:33:20,370 --> 00:33:24,890 Rambo back in the day, he wanted a sword. So he found this place in L .A. 540 00:33:24,890 --> 00:33:25,890 had some swords. 541 00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:28,990 And she went to this place, found a bunch for me. 542 00:33:31,270 --> 00:33:33,750 Descriptions, what samurais wore them, when they were built. 543 00:33:34,130 --> 00:33:35,130 Yeah, it was really cool. 544 00:33:37,510 --> 00:33:41,650 What a great year spent in a bangle. Through it all, the one constant has 545 00:33:41,650 --> 00:33:44,290 Joe Burrow, who's playing the best season of his career. 546 00:33:50,770 --> 00:33:54,810 Burrow steps up in the pocket, fires a bullet, but he is operating with the 547 00:33:54,810 --> 00:33:56,390 precision of a surgeon. 548 00:33:58,650 --> 00:34:02,070 Burrow to throw, steps up, throws, and it's caught! 549 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:34,580 As he's about to hit the ground, he flings it forward for his 37th touchdown 550 00:34:34,580 --> 00:34:36,120 pass of the year. Amazing. 551 00:34:38,860 --> 00:34:41,380 Wait till you see that throw on film. That shit was crazy. 552 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,060 How many times did you re -watch it on your phone that night? 553 00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:47,730 I don't know, probably can. 554 00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:54,370 There's 555 00:34:54,370 --> 00:35:04,330 a 556 00:35:04,330 --> 00:35:06,590 deep ball for Chase in the end zone. 557 00:35:22,540 --> 00:35:24,300 And the celebration begins. 558 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,260 The Bengals have won three straight. 559 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:34,100 And they have set up a game with gigantic stakes and huge playoff 560 00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:35,100 implications. 561 00:35:35,420 --> 00:35:36,540 Great job as always, bro. 562 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,240 You as well. It's always special, man. Yep. As the Bengals will host the Denver 563 00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:47,260 Broncos next Saturday, the team they are chasing for the final playoff spot in 564 00:35:47,260 --> 00:35:49,780 the AFC. I don't know if it's the bleached blonde hair. 565 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,520 I don't know if it was the donut that Jamar Chase slammed in his face. 566 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,920 it was, keep doing it. Joe Burrow is the MVP. 567 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,780 Really, he should be up for the MVP if not winning it while he's playing. 568 00:36:00,380 --> 00:36:04,960 First player in NFL history with 250 pass yards and three TDs in seven 569 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,540 games. That's pretty remarkable, man, that he is having that good of a season. 570 00:36:22,830 --> 00:36:26,190 The final week of the NFL season. Here we go for week 18. 571 00:36:27,050 --> 00:36:33,650 The game of the year is in Detroit. The 14 -2 Lions take on the 14 -2 Vikings. 572 00:36:33,950 --> 00:36:38,950 There is everything in the world at stake here. Winner gets the north. 573 00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:39,950 gets the one seed. 574 00:36:40,090 --> 00:36:41,090 Winner gets the bye. 575 00:36:41,310 --> 00:36:42,770 Winner gets home field advantage. 576 00:36:43,390 --> 00:36:45,410 Loser winds up a wild card. 577 00:36:46,290 --> 00:36:47,330 Keep going in there. 578 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,560 Going into week 18 now, we're playing Minnesota. 579 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,800 They're a team that, you know, if we want to call ourselves, you know, the 580 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,460 team in the NFC, we got to, you know, you got to beat them. And if you win, 581 00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:58,200 you're the one team, you get a bye week, you get to sit at home. 582 00:36:58,940 --> 00:37:02,020 We lose, we're the five seed, and then you have to go on the road in the wild 583 00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:07,020 card game. Just appreciate how historic this game is. Whoever loses will be the 584 00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:13,480 first ever 14 -win wild card team. We have never seen a regular season game 585 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,480 this many wins. 586 00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:19,220 Two teams that are 14 -2, and it's the division and the one seed on the line. I 587 00:37:19,220 --> 00:37:20,220 mean, this is unbelievable. 588 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,700 And defensively, Minnesota, you get to the quarterback. 589 00:37:24,980 --> 00:37:25,980 Good. Ole. 590 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,340 And Jared Goff. 591 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,220 He ain't a guy that runs all that much. 592 00:37:29,420 --> 00:37:31,620 What would it look like if they called zero on the cowgirl? 593 00:37:32,180 --> 00:37:34,440 We're going to catch him off guard. We're going to catch him off guard. 594 00:37:34,780 --> 00:37:37,060 Should have time to maybe hit Jamo across, right? Or Saint. 595 00:37:37,260 --> 00:37:40,940 Doesn't matter. They are equipped against the Blitz. 180. 596 00:37:41,220 --> 00:37:42,220 We say kill. 597 00:37:42,340 --> 00:37:45,700 Kill. Ringo, your eyes are as critical as anything. 598 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:46,819 Yep. Yep. 599 00:37:46,820 --> 00:37:49,600 I'm drilling it, though. Easy, easy. Here goes Scram.

This is 602 00:37:55,580 --> 00:37:56,419 playoff game. 603 00:37:56,420 --> 00:37:57,420 Yeah, it's nice. 604 00:37:57,630 --> 00:38:00,230 Whether you want to believe it or not, the playoffs have started. What's your 605 00:38:00,230 --> 00:38:00,769 air call? 606 00:38:00,770 --> 00:38:01,770 Today. 607 00:38:02,290 --> 00:38:03,290 Perfect. 608 00:38:04,710 --> 00:38:07,010 We got this game, and then we got the playoffs coming. 609 00:38:07,290 --> 00:38:11,670 Like if there's ever a time to lean on each other and trust the guy that's 610 00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:16,250 to do his job, and you just do yours, that's when you just continue to win. 611 00:38:18,610 --> 00:38:20,790 Are you just the friendliest boy ever, Quince? 612 00:38:26,850 --> 00:38:31,470 Watching Minnesota before we're about to play them for the number one seed. 613 00:38:33,090 --> 00:38:34,850 They're a tough defense, and you've got to be disciplined. 614 00:38:35,050 --> 00:38:37,350 They blitz on almost every snap, so they're trying to affect you with the 615 00:38:37,350 --> 00:38:40,610 pressure, and they run cover zero a lot, which is where they're sending 616 00:38:40,610 --> 00:38:41,589 everyone, essentially. 617 00:38:41,590 --> 00:38:47,350 They're blitzing one more than you have the ability to block with, and it's man 618 00:38:47,350 --> 00:38:49,750 coverage everywhere, and they have no safety in the back end. 619 00:38:50,570 --> 00:38:54,970 And what they do, though, is they get to cover zero right away. 620 00:38:55,420 --> 00:39:00,540 So then you're in a max protection, cover zero play, and they check out of 621 00:39:00,540 --> 00:39:01,459 zero themselves. 622 00:39:01,460 --> 00:39:03,220 And then you're playing that cat and mouse game. 623 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,240 Game one against these guys was tough. 624 00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:10,120 Seven guys up at the line of scrimmage. They're showing cover zero. If the 625 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,000 defense is showing me cover zero, I want to do my best to block it and make a 626 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,080 throw or get it out of my hands in some way or another. 627 00:39:17,740 --> 00:39:21,600 This will be our fourth time playing Coach Flores, and that's kind of where I 628 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:22,680 feel like it's my job to... 629 00:39:23,210 --> 00:39:26,630 not be affected by the pressure and to sit in there and to handle it and throw 630 00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:27,630 the ball to the open space. 631 00:39:27,750 --> 00:39:31,450 And there is open space. When they blitz, there's a ton of open space, and 632 00:39:31,450 --> 00:39:32,450 got to be able to take advantage of it. 633 00:39:35,210 --> 00:39:40,310 The first Sunday of January brings us the last game of the NFL season at Ford 634 00:39:40,310 --> 00:39:43,250 Field, home of the 14 -2 Lions. 635 00:39:44,010 --> 00:39:46,190 We've never had a regular season game like this. 636 00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:48,130 28 combined wins. 637 00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:50,850 Winner gets the one seed, losers the five. 638 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,140 We've saved the best for last. 639 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,880 It is amazing. 640 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:56,500 Everybody's ready to go. 641 00:39:58,660 --> 00:40:04,180 Jared Goff's team trying to repeat as the NFC North champions as the 14 -2 642 00:40:04,180 --> 00:40:06,620 Minnesota Vikings try to take that title. 643 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,000 Love you. Love you. Good luck. Love you so much. You can kill it. Thank you. 644 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,040 Love you.

Look at all the confusion they're showing Goff. 651 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,200 Triple set. 652 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,800 Third and long. Goff in trouble. 653 00:40:36,420 --> 00:40:37,420 Brings him down. 654 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,620 Zero. Hey, 51. 655 00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:43,800 180. What's that? 656 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,720 You're going to see the cover zero blitz back here. So the object is to get rid 657 00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,320 of the ball before they get you. 658 00:40:51,150 --> 00:40:56,690 180. Lions out of the shadow of the goal post. Again, retreating. Oh, it's 659 00:40:56,690 --> 00:40:57,750 intercepted on the deflection. 660 00:40:59,410 --> 00:41:01,790 Golf has taken a lot of pressure early. 661 00:41:02,310 --> 00:41:06,410 I don't know how much longer they can hold up like that. Thought I had them 662 00:41:06,410 --> 00:41:07,410 -footed enough. 663 00:41:08,890 --> 00:41:11,290 God damn it. Fuck me, man. 664 00:41:11,850 --> 00:41:16,010 As an offense, when you get six rushers, these are cover zeros. 665 00:41:16,330 --> 00:41:20,530 You don't have time to throw away down there. Deep shot downfield. There's 666 00:41:20,530 --> 00:41:24,710 coverage down there. It's intercepted. Brian Flores going after him. So far, 667 00:41:24,810 --> 00:41:25,810 it's working. 668 00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:27,870 Hey, 669 00:41:28,510 --> 00:41:30,230 put that on me. Put that on me. 670 00:41:30,730 --> 00:41:32,510 They've got to start hitting the big plays. 671 00:41:32,770 --> 00:41:36,470 Early on, they were just bringing in a little bit of a different type of 672 00:41:36,470 --> 00:41:39,570 pressure than maybe we were ready for. As we had expected, though, that 673 00:41:39,570 --> 00:41:42,770 wasn't... a shock to us that they were doing something different we're a 674 00:41:42,770 --> 00:41:46,090 division team and we were doing things different too so we just had to adjust a 675 00:41:46,090 --> 00:41:51,810 little bit and settle in hey hey back on track now okay wipe that last one right 676 00:41:51,810 --> 00:41:54,310 back where we started okay back to what we do let's go 677 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,480 Jared Goff just very calmly said, okay, I see you coming. I'll take right where 678 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,660 you were. Thank you very much. 679 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,540 44 came, but they brought four to the right. I think they bluffed their 680 00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:23,379 I think. 681 00:42:23,380 --> 00:42:25,640 Set. 180, we set. You like it? 682 00:42:26,420 --> 00:42:27,420 We're good. 683 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,600 We're good. 684 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,320 Three, one, set. 685 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,480 Jared Goff starting to put the pieces together. 686 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,340 A defender hit him right in the chops, but he knew exactly where the open guy 687 00:42:40,340 --> 00:42:41,620 was going to be. Hey, kill! 688 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,860 Kill! Jared changing the play. Four -man front for Minnesota. 689 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,560 They bring a blitz as well. 690 00:42:47,980 --> 00:42:51,200 And once again, he's all over this. 691 00:42:52,340 --> 00:42:55,720 Hey, him! Take him! He's having to anticipate throws. 692 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:56,738 Triple set! 693 00:42:56,740 --> 00:43:00,820 And the Lions go for it. The Vikings bring it. He's a pass! It's a touchdown 694 00:43:00,820 --> 00:43:01,820 Gibbs! 695 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,340 But they bring the pressure right up the middle, and that means we got one -on 696 00:43:08,340 --> 00:43:12,120 -one huge play there by golf. Let's fucking go, baby. 697 00:43:13,820 --> 00:43:17,000 Just throw into the blitz. Let's fucking go. That's the Boyd in the zone. 698 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:18,440 Now we're playing ball. 699 00:43:19,780 --> 00:43:21,860 Little cat mouthed out there, huh? Oh, yeah. 700 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,480 Hey, close it. End it. 701 00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:26,580 End this shit. That was massive. 702 00:43:27,420 --> 00:43:30,360 We're starting to get them down now. You know what I mean? They threw us a 703 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:31,620 little curveball. We're starting to get it now, okay? 704 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,380 So fourth and two. 705 00:43:33,850 --> 00:43:37,610 the Lions will line up to go for. Do you think they even asked Dan? 706 00:43:37,870 --> 00:43:39,230 Hey, I don't know the play. 707 00:43:40,330 --> 00:43:41,910 I'm going to use some cadence here, okay? 708 00:43:44,370 --> 00:43:50,110 Fourth and two from the six of Minnesota. Play clock down to one. 709 00:43:50,930 --> 00:43:54,650 Movement up front. Did Minnesota jump? Is that what they were looking for? 710 00:43:55,430 --> 00:43:57,370 And caught him. 711 00:43:57,750 --> 00:44:02,130 Is it offside on Minnesota in the first down? They went up there with the W snap 712 00:44:02,130 --> 00:44:03,190 count on that one. 713 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,020 Dan Campbell goes for it all the time. Of course they're going to be going for 714 00:44:07,020 --> 00:44:08,940 it on fourth down, except for 180. 715 00:44:09,220 --> 00:44:10,220 They did. 716 00:44:11,780 --> 00:44:14,240 And an inside run for Gibbs. 717 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,340 Still going to the goal line. 718 00:44:18,980 --> 00:44:21,800 Hey, great fucking job, buddy. Great job. 719 00:44:22,740 --> 00:44:24,420 Hey, that's awesome. 720 00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:26,218 Great work. 721 00:44:26,220 --> 00:44:29,200 That's a Dan Campbell effect. Dan Campbell effect. I think we're going. 722 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,480 The Minnesota Vikings. 723 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,800 had more success against the Detroit Lions than any other team rushing the 724 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,420 passer, and yet Jared Goff still picked them apart. 725 00:44:38,740 --> 00:44:42,300 Jared Goff is a winner, and when we need him the most, he's going to show up for 726 00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:47,140 us. Hey, when it's hard to get 31, that's a good thing. The Detroit Lions' 727 00:44:47,140 --> 00:44:50,040 season ever ends with an exclamation point. 728 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,280 He's here for a year. 729 00:44:53,140 --> 00:44:54,980 So much respect, man. Good job. 730 00:45:13,859 --> 00:45:15,260 Give me my hat and t -shirt. 731 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:18,380 You 732 00:45:18,380 --> 00:45:26,100 guys 733 00:45:26,100 --> 00:45:30,060 look like you remember who the fuck you are. 734 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,420 That's a hell of a win, guys. 735 00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:38,140 All I can think about is, man, we've been forged in this stuff now. This has 736 00:45:38,140 --> 00:45:40,420 been three years in the making. Some of it, four. 737 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,940 Like, that just doesn't happen. You've got to work through it, grind through 738 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,320 and go through the downs to get to the ups of where we're at. 739 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,020 That was unbelievable, man. 740 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,560 Division winners, back -to -back seasons, and the number one seed. 741 00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,120 Hey, way to go, fellas. 742 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,020 Hey, be proud of this shit. This is just step one. 743 00:45:58,260 --> 00:46:00,700 This is just step one. We're on to bigger and better now. 744 00:46:00,980 --> 00:46:02,800 Proud of you guys. Love you all. When are they? When are they? 745 00:46:06,780 --> 00:46:09,520 So, wait, who would you be playing next? 746 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,400 Green Bay plays at Philly, and Washington plays at Tampa. 747 00:46:15,940 --> 00:46:17,460 And Minnesota plays at the Rams. 748 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,520 And so the lowest winner of those games. They're all pretty good. They're all 749 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:23,640 tough teams. Everybody's good. 750 00:46:24,220 --> 00:46:27,300 Happy for you guys. Thank you. I know. Can't believe it. We got the bye week. 751 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,460 Get to have a little breather now. What does that even look like? I don't even 752 00:46:30,460 --> 00:46:31,339 get it. 753 00:46:31,340 --> 00:46:34,360 I'm still tired from Monday night in San Francisco. Do you still practice? 754 00:46:34,780 --> 00:46:38,440 I think we practice Thursday. But tomorrow's off, so we're sleeping all 755 00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:40,240 Look at this hat. 756 00:46:46,950 --> 00:46:50,350 I'm just so excited to have that new banner up there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. 757 00:46:50,590 --> 00:46:52,410 Line those up. That's so crazy. 758 00:46:53,130 --> 00:46:55,050 It'll be nice. The defense was amazing tonight. 759 00:46:55,310 --> 00:46:56,229 They were great. 760 00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:57,230 Oh, my gosh. 761 00:46:57,370 --> 00:47:00,590 I bet Jack Fox at the beginning of the year. I said, if you leave the league in 762 00:47:00,590 --> 00:47:02,750 net punting, I'll get you Bud Light for a year. 763 00:47:03,030 --> 00:47:05,890 And right after the game, he said, you owe me Bud Light for a year. No, you 764 00:47:05,890 --> 00:47:06,890 Bud Light for life. 765 00:47:07,190 --> 00:47:08,290 I don't think I said life. 766 00:47:08,510 --> 00:47:11,590 Right after the game, he's like, there it is. You owe me for a year. 767 00:47:11,950 --> 00:47:12,950 Yeah. 768 00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:14,180 Right. I thought it'd be perfect. 769 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,460 Three beer for a year. 770 00:47:24,580 --> 00:47:27,960 There is urgent need for a reversal of fortune. 771 00:47:28,300 --> 00:47:31,860 That's the Atlanta Falcons. They've lost four in a row, fighting for their 772 00:47:31,860 --> 00:47:36,160 playoff life to catch Tampa. What can Cousins do to cut down on the turnovers? 773 00:47:36,620 --> 00:47:40,120 Tonight for Atlanta must win, and all eyes on Kirk Cousins. 774 00:47:40,860 --> 00:47:42,020 Let's go, man. Let's have fun. 775 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,760 Thank you. A win tonight helps them try and keep pace with the Buccaneers, but 776 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,740 also quiets a lot of the noise around their quarterback. 777 00:47:52,020 --> 00:47:53,020 All right. 778 00:47:53,260 --> 00:47:54,260 Here we go. 779 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,140 Cousins in the pistol. 780 00:47:56,540 --> 00:47:59,180 Thought about it. Stop and go. Take the shot. 781 00:47:59,380 --> 00:48:00,700 Caught. London touchdown. 782 00:48:01,220 --> 00:48:02,220 Atlanta. 783 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:03,880 152. 784 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:09,240 Attempt, and that touchdown ends that drought going back to early November 785 00:48:09,240 --> 00:48:10,240 against Dallas. 786 00:48:12,860 --> 00:48:17,220 Snap to Kirk. He wants to throw on first down. 787 00:48:17,420 --> 00:48:19,880 Going to cut it loose, and it's intercepted. No. 788 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:23,360 My fault. 789 00:48:24,460 --> 00:48:28,660 I felt the C's part, but they didn't. You just wonder now. 790 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,700 If it's in Kirk's head a little bit now again. Like, is it starting to kind of 791 00:48:32,700 --> 00:48:34,020 melt on him a little bit? Exactly. 792 00:48:34,900 --> 00:48:35,900 Exactly. 793 00:48:37,060 --> 00:48:39,560 Cuts it loose, McLeod, right through the wick. It's incomplete. 794 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,200 Shit! 795 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,280 Shit! 796 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,780 How much does the play caller, Zach Robinson, trust them in the decision 797 00:49:01,060 --> 00:49:05,620 And honestly, how much does Kirk trust himself right now? My body was really 798 00:49:05,620 --> 00:49:08,860 holding up. It was starting to break down. And I think the coaches sensed 799 00:49:08,940 --> 00:49:13,620 And I think they felt like, you know, physically, we really can't put this on 800 00:49:13,620 --> 00:49:15,240 Kirk. Yeah, just frustrated. 801 00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:16,800 Just frustrated with the game, you know. 802 00:49:17,380 --> 00:49:19,320 Tough day at the office. You guys ran the ball really well. 803 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:21,600 You guys really ran the ball well. 804 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,020 Think about this game right now as we're watching it play out in front of our 805 00:49:25,020 --> 00:49:26,020 eyes. 806 00:49:26,799 --> 00:49:30,700 Look at the weaponry that this team has. Look at the resume of Kirk Cousins, and 807 00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:32,200 they refuse to put it in his hands. 808 00:49:34,460 --> 00:49:36,680 Yeah, they refuse to let him throw. 809 00:49:39,420 --> 00:49:44,120 You know, it was great to win, and you're always relieved to win, but tough 810 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,120 you just feel like you're not yourself. 811 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,140 Just saw Kirk Cousins walking off, and you could almost see the exhale. 812 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,240 Always better to have it. 813 00:49:53,630 --> 00:49:55,210 And then a win. Yeah, no doubt. Always. 814 00:49:55,490 --> 00:49:57,370 Always. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. 815 00:49:57,610 --> 00:50:01,510 Can you assess Kirk's play tonight in terms of him as the starting quarterback 816 00:50:01,510 --> 00:50:02,348 moving forward? 817 00:50:02,350 --> 00:50:04,690 He's got to play better. And, you know, obviously, you've got to go back. You've 818 00:50:04,690 --> 00:50:06,670 got to be able to look at everything. But we've got to play better at the 819 00:50:06,670 --> 00:50:07,670 quarterback position. 820 00:50:10,470 --> 00:50:15,170 The Falcons beat the Raiders, but questions linger about the performance 821 00:50:15,170 --> 00:50:19,890 Cousins. Should Coach Morris turn to rookie Michael Penix Jr., or wouldn't he 822 00:50:19,890 --> 00:50:22,510 wise just to stay patient with his vet? 823 00:50:22,970 --> 00:50:27,230 This is not, to me, a normal slump. The Cousins that we are watching right now 824 00:50:27,230 --> 00:50:29,330 is not the Cousins we saw for years. 825 00:50:29,570 --> 00:50:31,870 Honestly, it looks like the end to me. 826 00:50:35,950 --> 00:50:38,990 Massive news, seismic news for the Atlanta Falcons. 827 00:50:39,930 --> 00:50:43,750 While you were sleeping, enormous quarterback news from Atlanta. 828 00:50:44,090 --> 00:50:45,810 Michael Penix Jr. 829 00:50:46,310 --> 00:50:48,870 He's now the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. 830 00:50:49,090 --> 00:50:51,510 You know, just last night came to the point that she wanted to make the 831 00:50:51,510 --> 00:50:52,510 to make the move. 832 00:50:52,669 --> 00:50:55,390 Michael Pennington is our quarterback, and we're going to back him and give him 833 00:50:55,390 --> 00:50:59,250 the utmost support he needs, you know, as we did Kirk when he was our starter.
