1 00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:14,950 Big changes in Atlanta. 2 00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:19,990 Some say they saw it coming. It is massive news, seismic news. Kirk Cousins 3 00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:22,470 been benched by the Atlanta Falcons. 4 00:00:24,010 --> 00:00:27,330 They were not going anywhere with that version of Kirk Cousins, so it was worth 5 00:00:27,330 --> 00:00:28,350 taking a swig. 6 00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:35,990 Kirk Cousins' time with Atlanta is likely done. 7 00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:41,870 One of the strangest situations we've seen with a veteran quarterback. 8 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,500 Raheem called Tuesday evening and just said he wanted to connect. So I went in 9 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,840 to see him, and he told me they were going to make a change. 10 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,360 And so that was that. And it didn't need to be a long 11 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,420 conversation. The ball was in my hands. 12 00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:21,040 And I just hadn't played at the standard that I expected of myself, 13 00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,020 that he expected of me. 14 00:01:23,619 --> 00:01:27,220 And in pro football, that's just the way it's going to go. 15 00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:34,920 I think any time you don't deliver, it hurts. 16 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,640 And it hurts you. It hurts when you factor in the other people that it 17 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,140 But you just want to deliver. 18 00:01:45,940 --> 00:01:50,420 And when you don't, it hurts. 19 00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:00,620 So I have to hold on to hope that there's more to the story, 20 00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:07,560 that there's more up ahead, that there's purpose 21 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,560 in it. 22 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:15,600 And you just kind of hold on to that because you don't know what's 23 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,600 coming. 24 00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:21,160 And so it's just going to be interesting to kind of see where it all goes. 25 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,480 But I think that's been my football journey for almost 20 years, where you 26 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,820 never can tell where things are going to go until you're able to look back and 27 00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:34,440 kind of see it with the benefit of hindsight. 28 00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:48,500 No one loves the Christmas puzzle more than me. 29 00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:50,180 I got a two -pack. 30 00:02:50,890 --> 00:02:52,110 And I finished this one. 31 00:02:52,370 --> 00:02:56,930 My kids are old enough now to, like, play amongst themselves, do their own 32 00:02:56,930 --> 00:03:00,530 project, and then I can kind of sit here with everybody while working on it. 33 00:03:01,010 --> 00:03:02,790 Great therapy, I figured out. 34 00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:07,130 It's been quite a week. 35 00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:14,510 I don't, I usually pride myself on not riding the roller coaster of the NFL 36 00:03:14,510 --> 00:03:18,370 season. But I think this week got the best of me. 37 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:23,980 This month got the best of me, really. I think the tough times kind of started 38 00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:29,560 at the beginning of December, in my opinion, from my perspective. 39 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,320 But Tuesday, after the Monday night football game, I was reading 40 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Twitter. 41 00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:42,400 And so I was seeing a lot of the Bench Kirk tweets. 42 00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:46,300 And I just... 43 00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:49,790 I didn't want to tell him, hey, this is all over Twitter. 44 00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:55,330 But I did ask him, like, what do you think? Do you think they might do that 45 00:03:55,330 --> 00:03:57,530 you today or tomorrow? 46 00:03:58,030 --> 00:04:00,230 And he's like, I don't know, we'll see. 47 00:04:00,710 --> 00:04:02,630 And so it just kind of felt like it was looming. 48 00:04:04,690 --> 00:04:10,010 I was wrapping Christmas presents on Tuesday, and I saw his phone. He didn't 49 00:04:10,010 --> 00:04:13,890 have his phone. I saw it lighting up in his office, and it was Raheem. 50 00:04:15,980 --> 00:04:21,380 And it was like 7 .30 at night, and so I said, Raheem called you. 51 00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:23,780 And he knew what that meant, and so did I. 52 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:32,020 He was gone for about an hour, and that was a really sad time. 53 00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:37,020 My kids were playing, and I was crying. And they're like, what's wrong? 54 00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:40,380 And trying to explain it to them. They're like, is he not on the team 55 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,680 Just very somber. 56 00:04:45,330 --> 00:04:50,190 And then he came back and sat in the garage. 57 00:04:50,450 --> 00:04:56,750 When I went out there, he was actually calling Michael, which I thought was 58 00:04:56,750 --> 00:04:57,609 really cool. 59 00:04:57,610 --> 00:04:58,830 I was like, who does that? 60 00:04:59,870 --> 00:05:00,870 Hey, hey. 61 00:05:01,570 --> 00:05:03,030 How we doing? 62 00:05:04,010 --> 00:05:08,510 You just drove home from one of the hardest conversations you've ever had, 63 00:05:08,510 --> 00:05:12,390 you're going to call Michael to say the job is yours. 64 00:05:12,650 --> 00:05:14,530 I mean, that brings tears to my eyes. 65 00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:41,910 That is the kind of man he is. 66 00:05:49,190 --> 00:05:56,190 Maybe we do too good 67 00:05:56,190 --> 00:06:02,010 of a job at trying to keep our house upbeat and optimistic because both of 68 00:06:02,010 --> 00:06:03,910 were not sad for a second. 69 00:06:04,770 --> 00:06:08,290 It's complicated to say that he's not the starting quarterback anymore. 70 00:06:08,690 --> 00:06:11,770 You know, Mr. Michael's going to be the quarterback now. Well, Turner thought, 71 00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:14,190 well, surely he's not on the football team at all anymore. 72 00:06:15,090 --> 00:06:18,930 He said, Dad, it's okay you're kicked off the team because now you can spend 73 00:06:18,930 --> 00:06:20,570 more time with us playing football in the basement. 74 00:06:21,730 --> 00:06:25,910 And I thought, yeah, he doesn't quite understand what we do here. 75 00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:29,410 I'd always said I want to play long enough that my boys would be able to 76 00:06:29,410 --> 00:06:30,990 understand what Daddy does. 77 00:06:31,690 --> 00:06:33,070 And those comments. 78 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,600 reminded me. I may still need to play a little longer for them to truly 79 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,120 understand what that does. 80 00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:59,780 Not really. 81 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,380 I don't like boats like that. 82 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,980 If you go on a boat, 83 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,320 You're committed. You're there for hours. 84 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,060 I like a boat for 45 minutes, but then after 45 minutes, I'm like, okay, I've 85 00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:14,400 seen it all. We're on the water. I get it. 86 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,480 That's just what is fun about football. 87 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,240 You spend so much time together. You can't talk about football for 12 hours 88 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,240 every single day. 89 00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:25,680 Did you go to the little Iguana Island? 90 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,280 Bro, at Turks, they got a whole island that nobody can have built. You can't 91 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,420 build on it. It's just for the iguanas. There's just tons of iguanas on it. 92 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,760 Not like the normal, like the Florida iguanas. They're called rock iguanas. 93 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,840 Not as big as the green ones. 94 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:54,060 No, those are, I believe those are frilled -necked lizards. 95 00:07:55,550 --> 00:07:57,930 Yeah, those ones are venomous. You want to stay away from those. Those are in, 96 00:07:57,950 --> 00:07:59,050 like, Australian shit. 97 00:08:00,430 --> 00:08:02,070 Frilled neck lizards, I believe. 98 00:08:05,390 --> 00:08:08,390 Season's about over, and I feel like I'm just freaking getting started, baby. 99 00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:13,710 Take a look at the Bengals. Did you think at the start of December, when the 100 00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:17,490 Bengals were 4 -8, they'd even be on a list like this? What would it take for 101 00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:21,530 Cincinnati to act? Actually make the playoffs now. This is the Christmas wish 102 00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:24,910 list for Cincinnati Bengals fans coming into this week. And what do they need 103 00:08:24,910 --> 00:08:28,990 now? Bengals got to win that huge game against Denver next week. 104 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:32,789 Every game from 4 -8 on was win or go home. 105 00:08:34,150 --> 00:08:37,890 Fourth quarter upon us. Bengals on the move. Tied at 10. 106 00:08:38,549 --> 00:08:40,230 Denver wins. They're in the playoffs. 107 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:45,210 Bengals have got to win tonight, next week, and they need help. 108 00:08:54,250 --> 00:08:55,250 when people come to the games. 109 00:08:55,610 --> 00:09:01,110 I have pride that I do something that people are proud of, that they want to 110 00:09:01,110 --> 00:09:05,110 come and support me, and that also brings people together. 111 00:09:06,250 --> 00:09:10,210 Basically all my friends and coaches from home at that one. 112 00:09:12,910 --> 00:09:16,850 To the end zone for the lead. 113 00:09:31,690 --> 00:09:33,370 Biggest NFL game he's played in. 114 00:09:35,330 --> 00:09:38,570 Going deep. Oh, he's got him. He's got Mims. 115 00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:40,230 Touchdown. 116 00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:50,310 Bengals are fighting for their life this season. They have to win this game in 117 00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:52,990 order to stay alive in the playoff hunt, give themselves a chance. 118 00:10:25,390 --> 00:10:26,990 I got up after the touchdown. 119 00:10:27,470 --> 00:10:32,410 Nobody was around me, so I couldn't just, like, hug somebody or, like, spike 120 00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:34,890 And then I saw Jamar, and he went like this. 121 00:10:35,210 --> 00:10:36,550 Like, what are you going to do? 122 00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:41,370 And so once I saw him, I was like, all right, I'll give it a shot. 123 00:10:42,890 --> 00:10:45,170 Joe Burrow doing the gritty.

They can't just focus on number one and cue in on him. 139 00:12:03,930 --> 00:12:06,510 Because they've got number five on the other side who's going to make you pay 140 00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:07,790 you don't have a plan for him as well. 141 00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:15,490 They bring the linebackers going deep.

Like, hold on. 190 00:17:18,089 --> 00:17:25,030 I, like, barely heard that, because I was 191 00:17:25,030 --> 00:17:28,369 like, I was like, I'm not worried about our touchdown celebration, dude. 192 00:17:28,690 --> 00:17:30,770 I hand it to Gibbs, and he scores. 193 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:33,850 And I'm, like, walking off the field, and I see them all running there. And 194 00:17:33,850 --> 00:17:35,490 like, I'm not going to be a part of that, I guess. 195 00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:37,690 They're little kids. 196 00:17:38,460 --> 00:17:41,520 You're old man. No, we're so old. We were like horizontal. 197 00:17:41,740 --> 00:17:43,500 Jared fell asleep in the movie theater. What did you guys watch? 198 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,300 Timothy Chalamet, Bob Dylan movie. It was pretty good. 199 00:17:46,540 --> 00:17:48,500 I fell asleep for about 15 probably. 200 00:17:48,940 --> 00:17:49,940 Woke up and said, what happened? 201 00:17:50,060 --> 00:17:52,500 I mean, the seats in that theater are like cozy. 202 00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:54,880 Did you do the blue hair again this year? 203 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,000 Yeah, I did actually. 204 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,039 I've seen a little peek of blue. 205 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,040 You know, part two. 206 00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,660 Can I see it? Yeah, of course. 207 00:18:01,420 --> 00:18:04,180 Oh, yeah. It's a little darker I feel like than last year. Yeah, it's actually 208 00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:05,240 like a really nice color. 209 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,340 I can't believe we just get to like watch. 210 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,220 the games this weekend. 211 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,980 Yeah. I was never done, huh? 212 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,400 So crazy. 213 00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:14,120 How many days do you guys have off? 214 00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:17,160 Three. We have tomorrow off, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. 215 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,780 You have tomorrow off, too? They, like, broke it up. 216 00:18:20,260 --> 00:18:22,420 What are we going to do with my time? No, literally. 217 00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:25,040 I need to, like, keep him busy and entertained. 218 00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:26,700 Good luck. 219 00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:31,520 I know, same. I feel like they go crazy after, like, a day of being home. 220 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,120 I know. I'm running out of stuff to do. 221 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,300 Already, it hasn't been. You don't play video games, do you? I do play video 222 00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:42,720 games. Oh, do you? That gets exhausting, too. I can only play the same game for 223 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,720 so long. 224 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,620 Oh, my gosh. These next few weeks are going to be crazy. 225 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,960 Crazy. It's just crazy because you don't know what's going to happen. It's just 226 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,500 weird to be week to week and not being able to plan anything. 227 00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:57,100 But it's exciting. 228 00:18:57,500 --> 00:18:58,500 All right. Cheers. 229 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,980 Cheers to the one seed. Cheers to a bye week. 230 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,680 A little break. 231 00:19:03,140 --> 00:19:04,140 Finally. 232 00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:12,430 And during the final three weeks, Atlanta is still very much alive. One 233 00:19:12,430 --> 00:19:14,490 back in the NFC South. 234 00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:19,450 So what went into this decision to bench Kirk Cousins? Well, it actually goes 235 00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:22,910 back to the torn Achilles. And coming back from that, they didn't feel like he 236 00:19:22,910 --> 00:19:26,530 was driving the ball quite the same in September. That resolved itself in 237 00:19:26,530 --> 00:19:29,750 October. But then in November, in a game against the Saints. 238 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,920 He banged up his shoulder and elbow, and he really hasn't been the same since. 239 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,400 He's had a turnover issue, lost some confidence, so now they'll turn to 240 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,860 Penix. Once I lost my shoulder and my elbow, should I have sat out? Should I 241 00:19:42,860 --> 00:19:45,320 have done something different in my rehab? You know, you have all those 242 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,320 questions. 243 00:19:46,940 --> 00:19:49,160 With the information I had at the time, I made the best decision. 244 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:55,780 But you also know that if you sit down week 10 and take two or three weeks or 245 00:19:55,780 --> 00:19:56,840 more to let it heal, 246 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,660 you may never get your job back, you know? I remember reading Drew Brees' 247 00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:06,060 back in 2010 when he first wrote it, how, you know, he made the point that he 248 00:20:06,060 --> 00:20:10,460 tried to never let his backup see the field, even if it was, you know, 249 00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:11,460 who was really no threat. 250 00:20:11,660 --> 00:20:14,480 He just felt like you should never do that, that Doug Flutie taught him that. 251 00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:18,640 And so that was something I always was aware of, that, you know, in this 252 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,040 if you give someone else the chance, if you want to be Wally Pipp and there's 253 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,600 Lou Gehrig behind you, you know, that can happen. 254 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,200 At the time, you've got to make the decision with the information you have 255 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,000 Sure. I mean, I'm one play away, so I've got to stay sharp. 256 00:20:33,340 --> 00:20:36,560 Talking to you, you know, if I can notice a couple of weeks, I want to make 257 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,399 you can rep it. 258 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,420 Yeah. If you want to do scouting, you can, whatever you want to do. Yeah, I 259 00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:43,680 got to stay sharp. You let me know what you want to do. Yeah, I'm going. 260 00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:46,080 I'm giving you a week before I tell you what to do. 261 00:20:52,180 --> 00:20:53,180 CV, 262 00:20:54,940 --> 00:20:57,640 I'm taking my first scout team reps here. 263 00:20:59,439 --> 00:21:00,980 in probably 10 years. 264 00:21:02,140 --> 00:21:05,000 I'm trying to think. I don't think I've taken a scouting rep in 10 years. 265 00:21:05,420 --> 00:21:06,440 But today's the day. 266 00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:09,560 So we'll get some work in today, you and me. 267 00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:14,380 Our building rallied behind Kirk. 268 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:18,980 And to find a way to find those winning moments that we found early in the 269 00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:21,420 season. But we're just not able to do it. 270 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,260 And ultimately, when we played that last game on that Monday night in Vegas. 271 00:21:27,130 --> 00:21:29,210 That's when I ultimately have to make the change, which is always going to be 272 00:21:29,210 --> 00:21:30,210 tough. 273 00:21:30,670 --> 00:21:31,670 There it is. 274 00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:33,630 Good ball, Mike. 275 00:21:34,110 --> 00:21:35,570 Good ball, good ball, Mike, good ball. 276 00:21:36,670 --> 00:21:37,670 Well thrown. 277 00:21:39,050 --> 00:21:43,190 To watch him go out and be able to support our guy, be able to help him, I 278 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:46,030 thought was a very special thing that he was able to do for us. 279 00:21:48,190 --> 00:21:49,190 Basic. 280 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:51,030 Yeah. Good job, Mike. 281 00:21:53,650 --> 00:21:54,650 Damn. 282 00:21:55,070 --> 00:21:56,250 Nothing wrong with that. 283 00:21:58,090 --> 00:21:59,049 It's not easy. 284 00:21:59,050 --> 00:22:03,690 It hurts, you know, to go into work. But you got to be an adult. You know, you 285 00:22:03,690 --> 00:22:06,710 got to be a grown man and handle it with maturity. 286 00:22:07,130 --> 00:22:08,350 I feel sorry for myself. 287 00:22:08,570 --> 00:22:11,590 And, you know, it's hard to do, but that's what you got to do. 288 00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:15,350 And so that's kind of where my focus went. 289 00:22:16,090 --> 00:22:19,550 Hey, last time I was on scout team, they wouldn't call us the twos. They call us 290 00:22:19,550 --> 00:22:20,550 the one Bs. 291 00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:23,550 The one Bs. So it's third and nine, all right? Third and nine. 292 00:22:23,850 --> 00:22:26,390 So you're a short motion. We'll just go ten shallow with cheddar. 293 00:22:27,020 --> 00:22:28,800 You good with that? I am good with that. Let's get it. 294 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,320 Chin shallow with cheddar. 295 00:22:30,780 --> 00:22:35,680 Okay. All right. I got a short motion here. So let's go silent quick. Silent 296 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,680 quick. Ready? 297 00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:38,300 Chin shallow with cheddar. 298 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:39,680 Interesting. 299 00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:40,900 All right. 300 00:22:41,180 --> 00:22:42,800 Birds, birds, birds. Walk up. Walk up. 301 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,140 You're going to stay back. Okay. 302 00:22:46,060 --> 00:22:49,000 So when Kirk told me he was going to be the best quarterback in the National 303 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,360 Football League, I had no doubt. 304 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,700 He might have went out and put on one of the better practices I've seen. 305 00:23:05,020 --> 00:23:08,160 I literally haven't done that in 10 years. 306 00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:10,520 It's been a long time. It's good for my soul. 307 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,920 Don't want to be in the position to do it, but it was good for my soul to get 308 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,040 back to where I was 10 years ago. 309 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,320 Being the guy getting reps every week, to go back and not getting any reps felt 310 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,640 really strange going into the game. 311 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,280 On the left side on F counter player. 312 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,640 Grizzlies steal. 313 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,680 F -Rabbit XC weekend, 18 -1 at six. 314 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,060 Another double A. 315 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,940 One for three on third down. 316 00:23:52,620 --> 00:23:55,440 Penix with the blitz coming. It's picked up. He throws. 317 00:23:55,740 --> 00:23:56,740 There it is. 318 00:23:57,420 --> 00:23:58,760 Great run, and that's a first down. 319 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,340 First down and goal, Atlanta. 320 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:07,460 A cloud in motion. Robinson with the cut outside, and he will walk in for an 321 00:24:07,460 --> 00:24:08,460 Atlanta touchdown. 322 00:24:11,420 --> 00:24:16,220 Good run, B. Good run. Good job. 323 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,160 You're so accustomed to all this preparation centered around getting you 324 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,300 And so when you don't have that, you sort of feel a little lost. 325 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,820 Atlanta's going to be 8 -7. They beat the Giants, who fall to 2 -13. 326 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,860 Somebody made a comment, thanks for handling it the way you did, and I said, 327 00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:44,020 well, there's only one way to handle it. The main focus is don't make it about 328 00:24:44,020 --> 00:24:50,840 yourself. This is about the Falcons. This is about Michael, and stay out 329 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:57,060 of his way and the team's way enough. Be ready to play, but be a backup. 330 00:24:59,020 --> 00:25:00,040 Hey, guys, how we doing? 331 00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:06,960 All right. 332 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,720 Fourth and goal. 333 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,460 Panics. End zone. 334 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:17,100 Touchdown. Got it. He got it. He drilled it in there. 335 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,100 He drilled it in there to KP. 336 00:25:19,660 --> 00:25:20,680 Quarters. Was it quarters? 337 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:21,880 Yeah. 338 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,020 Third and goal from the two. 339 00:25:24,820 --> 00:25:26,960 It is Jason Daniels. End zone. 340 00:25:30,890 --> 00:25:32,990 And Washington wins 30 -24. 341 00:25:34,010 --> 00:25:36,890 For Atlanta, they fall to 8 -8. 342 00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:38,590 Played your heart out, man. 343 00:25:38,810 --> 00:25:40,750 An unbelievable throw on the fourth and 13. 344 00:25:41,010 --> 00:25:41,949 Played your heart out. 345 00:25:41,950 --> 00:25:43,490 Great job. Many more to come. 346 00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:48,830 The Falcons come up short of the playoffs. 347 00:25:50,290 --> 00:25:53,210 And they come up short in Week 18. 348 00:25:55,790 --> 00:25:56,870 Played great today, man. 349 00:25:57,230 --> 00:25:59,190 Three in a row. We played three great games. 350 00:25:59,740 --> 00:26:00,740 You can build on it. 351 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,200 How are you doing? 352 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,960 Yeah, man, it's been three weeks. It's felt like three months. Yeah. 353 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,240 Oh, my goodness. 354 00:26:09,340 --> 00:26:12,340 Because you're going through all three months of it, like the initial stage, 355 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,560 the, like, man. A lot of regret, a lot of regret. 356 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,660 You played well when they benched you. 357 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,060 You guys were losing, but you were playing well. I was just turning the 358 00:26:22,060 --> 00:26:25,460 over. I couldn't figure it out. Right. And it was just like, man. 359 00:26:26,420 --> 00:26:28,200 There's a lot of weight that comes with all that. 360 00:26:28,460 --> 00:26:29,460 Yeah, yeah. 361 00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:33,740 Yeah, for me, the turnovers have come in bunches at times in my career. Like in 362 00:26:33,740 --> 00:26:38,480 Washington, I got benched my third year, threw a bunch, and then one year I was 363 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,180 leading the league in picks halfway into the year, and then I was able to flip 364 00:26:41,180 --> 00:26:44,020 it around and play a lot better after the bye, but the same thing again 365 00:26:44,020 --> 00:26:44,919 this year. 366 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,500 So, I don't know, it's always hard, too, later in your career, you know? Right. 367 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,560 And moving and everything. We just moved into our house, and now we're like, ah, 368 00:26:51,740 --> 00:26:54,320 it's hard. It's hard, but anyway, it is what it is. Right. 369 00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:02,860 Congrats on the NFP Player of the Week. 370 00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:04,860 Is that your first one this year? 371 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,420 I got Player of the Month, but I have no Player of the Weeks. 372 00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:10,239 This year? 373 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,240 You've had it before in previous years, right? Yeah. 374 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,620 Did you get the MVP chance when you went off the field? 375 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,000 I did. What were your thoughts? 376 00:27:27,140 --> 00:27:28,140 I win one one day. 377 00:27:30,310 --> 00:27:32,050 I doubt it. Why? 378 00:27:35,330 --> 00:27:36,690 Usually you got to win your division. 379 00:27:37,130 --> 00:27:39,150 Is Joe Burrow the MVP? 380 00:27:40,450 --> 00:27:46,750 How could he not be? What you're watching is what a franchise quarterback 381 00:27:46,890 --> 00:27:52,090 And if they sneak into the playoffs this year, yeah, they're not a favorite, but 382 00:27:52,090 --> 00:27:54,130 they're dangerous, as we've said. 383 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:56,950 Look at him. 384 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,960 Good. Battling. 385 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,280 It's been a long year. 386 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,560 All right. 387 00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:05,100 First slate. 388 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,439 Got it? 389 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:13,220 Burrow is one of three players all -time to throw for 4 ,500 yards, 40 passing 390 00:28:13,220 --> 00:28:17,740 touchdowns, fewer than 10 interceptions in a single season. Who else did that? 391 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,400 Tom Brady in 2007. 392 00:28:19,780 --> 00:28:23,640 Aaron Rodgers in 2011. They both won the MVP. 393 00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:25,900 How does that make you feel, bro? 394 00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:28,390 I'm proud of the season that I've had. 395 00:28:30,490 --> 00:28:33,090 I'd love to win an MVP at some point in my career. 396 00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:36,630 This year is probably not that year just because of how the season has gone for 397 00:28:36,630 --> 00:28:37,630 us. 398 00:28:37,690 --> 00:28:42,710 I think I'm deserving of it, but that's the 399 00:28:42,710 --> 00:28:49,170 MVP award usually goes to the quarterback of the best team, and 400 00:28:49,170 --> 00:28:51,370 that's not us this year. 401 00:28:51,810 --> 00:28:54,890 What's your approach going into this game? I'm just excited for the 402 00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:02,040 To go out and one play in the NFL, prime time with everything still in front of 403 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,720 us, it's a big opportunity for us in front of the world. We got a chance to 404 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:11,020 and make a statement. We obviously need help on Sunday, but we can control what 405 00:29:11,020 --> 00:29:13,780 we can control and finish our season the right way. 406 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,680 And guys are excited about that opportunity, myself included. 407 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:25,190 Cincinnati, they're fighting for the number seven seed. They need a win here 408 00:29:25,190 --> 00:29:31,070 tonight and a loss or tie by Miami and a loss by the Denver Broncos at home to 409 00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:32,070 Kansas City. 410 00:29:32,810 --> 00:29:34,390 That's what we fucking live for right here. 411 00:29:35,950 --> 00:29:42,630 Joe Burrow, what a year he has had. Leaving the 412 00:29:42,630 --> 00:29:45,630 NFL, touchdown passes, touchdown yardage. 413 00:29:46,210 --> 00:29:47,210 Thanks. 414 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,800 And this has looked awfully easy against this Steelers defense. 415 00:29:56,780 --> 00:29:59,500 That's Chase, and what a start for Cincinnati. 416 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,180 It's just not even fair. 417 00:30:06,220 --> 00:30:09,580 Mission number one. 418 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:15,420 Extra man on the rush, and the ball is out. 419 00:30:16,260 --> 00:30:18,560 Recovered by Herbert, it's four down. 420 00:30:19,630 --> 00:30:24,790 It's always tough to understand what is happening to you in the game because you 421 00:30:24,790 --> 00:30:27,350 don't feel a lot physically. 422 00:30:29,310 --> 00:30:32,190 They've gotten after Joe Burrow pretty good. They've roughed him up. 423 00:30:33,470 --> 00:30:37,390 Great start for Joe Burrow tonight. Since then, pretty frustrating. 424 00:30:37,850 --> 00:30:41,530 You guys are coming today, huh? I got you. You guys are fucking coming. 425 00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:42,990 Golly. 426 00:30:46,350 --> 00:30:48,170 Burrow is under pressure. 427 00:30:50,570 --> 00:30:53,890 Back just inside the 20 by Nick Herbert. 428 00:30:55,090 --> 00:30:58,170 Hayward had pressure, too, and now Burrow can't get up. 429 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,100 driven into the ground very forcefully and felt my neck and jaw crunch. 430 00:31:23,380 --> 00:31:28,240 So I thought I might have broken my neck, but I rolled over and moved 431 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:34,040 around, moved my neck around, and felt okay. 432 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,240 Sit in here. Am I all right? Yeah, I'm all right. 433 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,480 How about down in there? 434 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:38,779 That's okay? 435 00:31:38,780 --> 00:31:40,740 It's all good. On the side here, I'm good? Yeah, I'm good. 436 00:31:41,020 --> 00:31:42,900 Turn your head this way. Just turn it. 437 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,600 That's okay? Yeah, that's okay. Turn it this way for me. 438 00:31:46,190 --> 00:31:46,889 That's okay? 439 00:31:46,890 --> 00:31:53,890 I'm okay. I think the crunch that I felt might have just 440 00:31:53,890 --> 00:31:59,050 been my jaw getting smashed into my face, but I was all good. 441 00:32:00,030 --> 00:32:01,450 Fuck. Good? 442 00:32:01,650 --> 00:32:02,650 I'm good. 443 00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:04,350 It's tough. 444 00:32:04,590 --> 00:32:08,110 Give me my helmet. You're just, like, worried he's not going to get up, but he 445 00:32:08,110 --> 00:32:14,890 keeps getting up, and you just have to put out of your mind what could be 446 00:32:17,909 --> 00:32:18,909 Yeah, 447 00:32:19,090 --> 00:32:20,090 I'm good. 448 00:32:21,150 --> 00:32:25,150 Had some large humans fall on top of me right on the old neck. 449 00:32:25,550 --> 00:32:28,510 We'll be sore tomorrow, but we'll be all good. That's why you do the workouts in 450 00:32:28,510 --> 00:32:30,430 offseason. That's why you got that big frog neck. 451 00:32:30,670 --> 00:32:31,670 Yeah, that's right. 452 00:32:34,190 --> 00:32:38,270 Bengals have to win, period. They lose, they're out. They win, they need help 453 00:32:38,270 --> 00:32:39,270 tomorrow. 454 00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:44,670 Steelers, they need about 24 more yards or so to give Boswell a chance. 455 00:32:45,210 --> 00:32:46,390 No. No. 456 00:32:47,030 --> 00:32:48,330 Come on, Trey. Where you at? 457 00:32:49,450 --> 00:32:52,950 Wilson is back by Hendrickson again. 458 00:32:53,270 --> 00:32:54,270 Yeah! 459 00:32:54,370 --> 00:32:56,630 15 seconds left. Fourth down and 12. 460 00:32:57,150 --> 00:32:58,690 Wilson incomplete. 461 00:32:59,850 --> 00:33:02,270 And Cincinnati will take over. 462 00:33:02,990 --> 00:33:03,990 Let's go. 463 00:33:04,010 --> 00:33:08,570 And a five -game winning streak to end the year for Cincinnati will be enough. 464 00:33:08,990 --> 00:33:10,510 Let's go, 9 -1. Let's go. 465 00:33:10,710 --> 00:33:11,609 Let's go. 466 00:33:11,610 --> 00:33:12,589 Let's go, man. 467 00:33:12,590 --> 00:33:13,890 Let's go, Mike. Yeah. 468 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,900 That's a big fucking win right there. 469 00:33:20,580 --> 00:33:23,420 That's how you fucking do it. You got a lot of shit, man. Victory on one. They 470 00:33:23,420 --> 00:33:29,320 need a Kansas City win over Denver tomorrow and a Jets win or tie against 471 00:33:29,740 --> 00:33:30,740 Ready? 472 00:33:33,380 --> 00:33:34,319 Let's go. 473 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,160 Good job, Patrick. Love you, bro. Yeah, you too. I'm good, bro. You sure? 474 00:33:38,380 --> 00:33:41,100 Yeah. Well, Mac Crunch is all good, though. 475 00:33:41,540 --> 00:33:44,680 Five consecutive wins now, and yet you still don't know. 476 00:33:45,230 --> 00:33:49,850 If it's enough, what's tomorrow going to be like watching with, you know, your 477 00:33:49,850 --> 00:33:53,290 fate in someone else's hands? Yeah, not great, but we put ourselves in this 478 00:33:53,290 --> 00:33:56,590 position. Nobody blamed but ourselves. So, you know, we'll enjoy this win and 479 00:33:56,590 --> 00:33:59,530 back, watch some football tomorrow and hope for the best. All right. Good luck 480 00:33:59,530 --> 00:34:00,509 to you. Thanks. 481 00:34:00,510 --> 00:34:01,650 Let's fucking go, man. 482 00:34:02,510 --> 00:34:08,570 I know you guys appreciate how hard it is to win on the road, in the AFC North, 483 00:34:08,870 --> 00:34:13,130 in primetime, winning five in a row in December and January. 484 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,360 And all you guys did was put yourself in a position, man, to sit on your couch 485 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,760 tomorrow, watch some football, cheer like a fan, and pray to God we get into 486 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,800 this thing because you deserve it. 487 00:34:24,060 --> 00:34:26,440 Okay, that's all you need to know right now. Get a break. 488 00:34:27,580 --> 00:34:34,540 Of course, the Bengal Nation is watching this game very closely. 489 00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:39,380 Cincinnati won yesterday. They need a Jet victory and a Kansas City win, and 490 00:34:39,380 --> 00:34:40,319 then they would be in. 491 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,760 Anything can happen any given day. 492 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:53,440 It's obviously frustrating, but we put ourselves in this position, so. 493 00:34:56,679 --> 00:35:01,280 15 -1 Kansas City Chiefs. They will be sitting a lot of their stars today, 494 00:35:01,340 --> 00:35:05,020 taking on a team trying to get into the playoffs for the first time in years. 495 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,360 They got to figure out a way to get stops. 496 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,940 They got to stop the run against these guys. 497 00:35:11,260 --> 00:35:12,260 We'll call from the 32. 498 00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:15,200 They fake it to him. They fake the end of the run to Franklin. 499 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,080 And here they come back to near side. 500 00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:26,270 It's tough to win a game without playing any of your starters. 501 00:35:32,070 --> 00:35:32,430 I 502 00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:40,790 mean, 503 00:35:40,810 --> 00:35:41,810 not great. 504 00:35:42,170 --> 00:35:43,650 But there's nothing I can do about it. 505 00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:47,650 All I can do is sit here and watch. 506 00:35:56,170 --> 00:36:02,410 That has gotten away from Kansas City, broken the hearts and wishes pretty 507 00:36:02,410 --> 00:36:04,890 for the Dolphin and Bengal faithful. 508 00:36:05,410 --> 00:36:06,790 The season's a lot. 509 00:36:07,310 --> 00:36:12,610 It's very difficult to be that disciplined and 510 00:36:12,610 --> 00:36:17,630 always... on edge for that long. 511 00:36:18,110 --> 00:36:19,910 I made some pretty cool plays, I thought. 512 00:36:21,870 --> 00:36:28,450 But, like, stats, I mean, they're great, but they don't mean a ton. 513 00:36:32,650 --> 00:36:38,430 Final score, Denver 38, Kansas City nothing, but it's on to the postseason 514 00:36:39,010 --> 00:36:40,590 It's offseason pretty much. 515 00:36:44,330 --> 00:36:49,910 which in ways is a relief and also frustrating and annoying and a lot of 516 00:36:49,910 --> 00:36:50,910 different things. 517 00:36:51,630 --> 00:36:57,190 You didn't ultimately do what you wanted to do, and that was not great, but when 518 00:36:57,190 --> 00:37:01,290 you get to off -season healthy, that's a weight off your shoulders, I would say. 519 00:37:01,330 --> 00:37:03,290 I've had a lot of not healthy off -seasons. 520 00:37:12,170 --> 00:37:16,590 Welcome to the divisional playoff. We're in Detroit, the number one seed Lions 521 00:37:16,590 --> 00:37:18,670 taking on the Commanders. 522 00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:22,690 The Lions have been the best team in the league, 15 wins. They've been building 523 00:37:22,690 --> 00:37:26,770 to this under Dan Campbell, a place they've never been before, the number 524 00:37:26,770 --> 00:37:27,850 seed in the NFC. 525 00:37:28,170 --> 00:37:31,890 Now, though, as the top dog, how can they live up to the pressure? 526 00:37:32,110 --> 00:37:35,390 It feels like it's been so long since we played a game. It's weird. 527 00:37:39,950 --> 00:37:44,470 To know that we have the opportunity to play the next two games here, it's so 528 00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:48,630 exciting. And to get that bye week, it just feels good. Go get them. 529 00:37:49,330 --> 00:37:52,150 When the playoffs start, everyone's intensity goes up a little bit. 530 00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:53,129 Another one. 531 00:37:53,130 --> 00:37:54,129 Be great, buddy. 532 00:37:54,130 --> 00:37:56,570 It's like you're back to the beginning of the season again. Everyone's zero on 533 00:37:56,570 --> 00:37:58,950 zero. And expectations in the postseason went through the bowl. 534 00:38:04,430 --> 00:38:07,210 Jared Boff, he's been special the last three years. 535 00:38:07,690 --> 00:38:12,390 More touchdowns, more yards than any other quarterback in the league. I can't 536 00:38:12,390 --> 00:38:13,870 see what he's got in store tonight. 537 00:38:26,090 --> 00:38:31,770 These commanders, an amazing year. They're a 12 -wing team. They upset the 538 00:38:31,770 --> 00:38:34,710 last week. Now will that magic carpet ride continue? 539 00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:36,670 Let's fucking go now! 540 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,440 Let's fucking go now! 541 00:38:40,660 --> 00:38:41,660 Set! 542 00:38:42,580 --> 00:38:44,680 Here's Goff. Back to throw. 543 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,200 Protected. Deepak Williams and a dime from Goff. 544 00:38:48,420 --> 00:38:49,940 See if they give it to Gipps. 545 00:38:50,780 --> 00:38:52,620 They will. One shot. 546 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,618 Get it! 547 00:38:53,620 --> 00:38:54,620 Touchdown! Let's go! 548 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,360 Yes, baby! 549 00:39:03,700 --> 00:39:05,180 That's how it's gonna be, boys! 550 00:39:06,570 --> 00:39:10,630 Felt like we had a good game plan and felt like we had ability to exploit some 551 00:39:10,630 --> 00:39:13,550 things that we wanted to. And yeah, we felt good. 552 00:39:16,550 --> 00:39:16,910 I 553 00:39:16,910 --> 00:39:27,010 just 554 00:39:27,010 --> 00:39:33,970 had some pressure from my backside and hit right on the ball and got 555 00:39:33,970 --> 00:39:34,970 it out. 556 00:39:35,530 --> 00:39:37,410 Wish I would have done a better job of just taking care of that in that 557 00:39:37,410 --> 00:39:38,990 situation. Help me out, defense. 558 00:39:44,090 --> 00:39:45,670 Vanders did so good in the red zone. 559 00:39:46,730 --> 00:39:47,850 See if they can punch it in. 560 00:39:48,670 --> 00:39:53,550 And they're in front. 561 00:39:56,690 --> 00:40:00,950 With Vanders in this game, they've got 173 yards of offense already. 562 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,040 Smart, smart, smart. 563 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,040 Triple set. 564 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,080 Don't break. 565 00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:12,460 Stop looking. Going deep again. 566 00:40:13,380 --> 00:40:16,680 Got it. What a throw he kept up. I'm in raw. 567 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,980 He actually makes a perfect throw. 568 00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:23,660 Same ground right in his hand. 569 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,040 180. We're set. 570 00:40:26,220 --> 00:40:27,220 Thank God. 571 00:40:27,740 --> 00:40:29,800 Bless you. And double throw. 572 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,040 Let's go. 573 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,820 Throw it away, throw it away, throw it away. And he's like, oh, no, I'm going 574 00:40:46,820 --> 00:40:52,020 hold this, see if someone can uncover right in his face under duress. 575 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:53,520 That was just sensational. 576 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,300 Jared Goff has been surgical this year. He sure has. I think all the adversity 577 00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:05,100 he's had in his career led him to this moment. 578 00:41:05,450 --> 00:41:10,710 Very fucking good, buddy. Great job. I ain't happy for the last two minutes. 579 00:41:14,630 --> 00:41:17,510 Daniel's quick throw far side. Get it out there to the corner. 580 00:41:18,690 --> 00:41:19,710 You're kidding me. 581 00:41:23,810 --> 00:41:24,870 Touchdown, Washington. 582 00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:28,670 You're not going to stop us. Nope. 583 00:41:29,170 --> 00:41:33,130 You haven't played from behind that much. You should be, like, killing this. 584 00:41:33,890 --> 00:41:34,890 That's what... 585 00:41:34,940 --> 00:41:35,940 Gary. 586 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,060 There's just an emotional letdown when you are the number one seed in the 587 00:41:42,060 --> 00:41:46,080 player. You fully expected to have a lead here in the second quarter. This is 588 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,080 where you can't panic. 589 00:42:03,759 --> 00:42:05,900 nightmare fuel for Lions fans right now. 590 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,200 Oh, my God. 591 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,360 It's a bad throw. 592 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:12,640 Just a bad throw. 593 00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:15,820 He just sailed it probably two or three yards too high. 594 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,860 He's got Laporta right underneath wide open. 595 00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:23,740 That's just Jared trying to take the big play over the easy play. 596 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,460 The ball just came out a bit high. 597 00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:26,840 Wish I could have it back. 598 00:42:27,260 --> 00:42:29,980 Something that still wakes me up at night and still bothers the hell out of 599 00:42:29,980 --> 00:42:31,960 and something I think about quite a bit. 600 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,120 That guy made a great play on the backhand, and he was able to take it 601 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,840 Yeah, I got smoked by Lulu. 602 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,040 Jared Goff got popped at the end of that play. 603 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,200 Is that a legal hit? 604 00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:48,400 After the interception, the quarterback is considered defenseless. 605 00:42:48,620 --> 00:42:52,840 You can't hit him in the head or neck area, which Lulu did. So this should 606 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,060 been called the 15 -yard penalty from the five -yard line. 607 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,080 You got to check out. I'm good. 608 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,700 Nope, they just called down ATC 5. We have to bring you in right now. Where 609 00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:07,078 we going? 610 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,080 We're going to the tank. 611 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:09,200 I'm good, though. 612 00:43:09,780 --> 00:43:11,420 Hey, I'm going back in just so you know. 613 00:43:12,860 --> 00:43:13,860 Jared's not out there. 614 00:43:17,020 --> 00:43:18,680 Jared's being evaluated for a concussion. 615 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,060 You're frustrated because it takes me out for a drive. It takes me out for a 616 00:43:24,060 --> 00:43:24,919 handful of plays. 617 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:25,920 How long does this take? 618 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,640 As soon as they're done, you're good to go. How have they not watched the video 619 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,340 yet? They have to let you re -watch it. Our docs have to. 620 00:43:31,810 --> 00:43:36,550 He took a heck of a shot, and I was worried. You know, I was worried. I 621 00:43:36,570 --> 00:43:41,090 honestly, I was already in the mode of get Teddy ready because there's a lot of 622 00:43:41,090 --> 00:43:43,350 guys who might not have got up from that. That was a hell of a hit. 623 00:43:43,930 --> 00:43:49,150 So they took him into that loop head, and they do like a test, but he came 624 00:43:49,210 --> 00:43:50,210 so that's good. 625 00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:55,450 The reliance on the backup quarterback is so important. Even in this, for three 626 00:43:55,450 --> 00:43:59,510 or four plays, pull down the floor, gain a first down until we kick off and come 627 00:43:59,510 --> 00:44:00,509 back in the game. 628 00:44:00,510 --> 00:44:03,810 I'm like, oh, shit, like, this is the first time all year we've played without 629 00:44:03,810 --> 00:44:04,810 Jared at quarterback. 630 00:44:08,230 --> 00:44:11,450 I'm 100%. I'm even better now. 631 00:44:12,930 --> 00:44:14,030 I've been hit harder than that. 632 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,640 This is crazy. 633 00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:38,020 This is the first half. 634 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:40,680 We're good. 635 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,300 The offensive explosion, the back and forth. We got a shootout. 636 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,620 Daniels puts it in. Caught by Jackers. 637 00:44:50,180 --> 00:44:52,300 Touchdown. Let's go get one. Let's get a touchdown. 638 00:44:52,900 --> 00:44:56,320 They're called the cardiac commanders because they've done this since he's all 639 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:57,320 season long. 640 00:44:58,020 --> 00:45:01,420 Jaden Daniels had a hell of a year. We knew going into that game he was going 641 00:45:01,420 --> 00:45:02,520 play well. And so. 642 00:45:02,970 --> 00:45:04,510 I think it was another one of those games. 643 00:45:04,990 --> 00:45:06,590 Offensively, we needed to be on point. 644 00:45:07,190 --> 00:45:09,570 That was how we had to play most of the year. 645 00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:16,230 You're only down three. 646 00:45:16,970 --> 00:45:19,890 I think that was the moment where we knew we had a good chance to really come 647 00:45:19,890 --> 00:45:22,550 back and win this game, despite what had happened in the first half. 648 00:45:22,950 --> 00:45:23,970 One play at a time. 649 00:45:24,270 --> 00:45:26,510 This is what we do here. This is what we do. Let's go. 650 00:45:26,890 --> 00:45:27,890 One play at a time. 651 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,640 The biggest drive of their season. 652 00:45:33,500 --> 00:45:35,840 Got to find a way to get points on this drive. 653 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:42,120 The 654 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:51,280 fourth 655 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:58,920 turnover 656 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,060 of the day by the Lions. 657 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,380 You guys, this is, I can't believe this is happening. 658 00:46:04,220 --> 00:46:07,620 Well, Ben Johnson dials up the trick play like no one else, and they normally 659 00:46:07,620 --> 00:46:12,320 work, but that was a disaster. Jamison Williams throwing into a crowd, and now 660 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,440 the commander's chance to really put the hammer down. Up 10, 12 minutes to go. 661 00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:19,420 You think you're invincible, you think you're untouchable, and right when you 662 00:46:19,420 --> 00:46:22,020 do, you get knocked down to your knees. 663 00:46:23,060 --> 00:46:26,120 The bottom line is this. We turned the ball over, and we didn't get any 664 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,140 takeaways on defense. 665 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,100 That was the story of the game. 666 00:46:29,470 --> 00:46:33,450 You don't have the luxury of making errors, and we just did on that day. And 667 00:46:33,450 --> 00:46:35,230 they capitalized on them, and it cost us. 668 00:46:38,930 --> 00:46:40,770 I can't accept this. This is happening. 669 00:46:41,010 --> 00:46:42,010 I don't know what to do. 670 00:46:42,970 --> 00:46:45,310 I can't. I literally, like, can't handle it. 671 00:46:48,110 --> 00:46:50,090 Lions fans stunned. 672 00:46:51,030 --> 00:46:54,330 That season in their franchise history, and the commanders have had every 673 00:46:54,330 --> 00:46:55,330 answer. 674 00:46:56,050 --> 00:46:57,050 No. 675 00:47:08,690 --> 00:47:14,050 Washington will be going to the NFC Championship for the first time in 33 676 00:47:16,450 --> 00:47:21,970 And the number one seed Detroit Lions are headed for a very, very long 677 00:47:21,970 --> 00:47:22,970 offseason. 678 00:47:29,190 --> 00:47:32,430 When you're the one seed and you have the bye week, you're kind of 679 00:47:32,430 --> 00:47:35,470 making it further than the divisional round. 680 00:47:50,700 --> 00:47:55,140 For it to be so suddenly over, you know, you know, that's how it goes every year 681 00:47:55,140 --> 00:47:58,560 if you don't win the whole thing, but we were always humble, but we were very 682 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,800 confident and we knew we had the team that could win it all. 683 00:48:01,900 --> 00:48:04,760 It just came up short, and it sucks. It sucks that it happened in the first 684 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,400 round. It sucks that it happened at home. We got the bye week, and we were 685 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,740 one seed, and we had everything we wanted, and we just didn't get it done 686 00:48:10,740 --> 00:48:12,880 it mattered that night, and the commanders did. 687 00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:17,500 I just can't believe we're not going to be here next week. 688 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:19,640 God, 689 00:48:25,820 --> 00:48:27,040 it sucks so bad. 690 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,070 Sucks. Sucks, worst part of this job, and you hate it when you feel like you 691 00:48:34,070 --> 00:48:39,690 guys down, and I'm so painfully disappointed and sorry to our fans, and 692 00:48:39,690 --> 00:48:42,770 humbling game. We were on the top of the world after that Minnesota game, and 693 00:48:42,770 --> 00:48:47,170 then it's hard standing here right now and trying to process it all. 694 00:48:47,910 --> 00:48:49,730 Had I played better, do we win? 695 00:48:50,110 --> 00:48:54,390 Possibly, you know, and that's the part that'll eat me alive for the whole 696 00:48:54,390 --> 00:48:55,390 offseason. 697 00:49:17,580 --> 00:49:20,180 I remember my rookie year, Mike Shanahan made the point that only one team is 698 00:49:20,180 --> 00:49:21,180 happy at the end of the year. 699 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,920 And that stuck with me. And the truth of that statement became more real to me 700 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:31,000 as I played longer and realized that it's difficult for a season to end on a 701 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,400 positive note unless you're the one holding up the Lombardi trophy. 702 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,620 That quarterback, you're so tied to wins and losses. 703 00:49:37,820 --> 00:49:42,460 And only one guy can be happy at the end of the year. So failure is so much more 704 00:49:42,460 --> 00:49:45,640 common than success. 705 00:49:47,690 --> 00:49:50,150 It is challenging, and it is the hard part of our job. 706 00:49:51,850 --> 00:49:54,690 But you wouldn't trade it for the world. It's the greatest job in the world. 707 00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:58,270 We're so lucky to be able to do it in front of the fans that we have, the fans 708 00:49:58,270 --> 00:49:59,270 that love us. 709 00:50:04,150 --> 00:50:07,730 Joe Burrow joining us here at NFL Honors. 710 00:50:08,490 --> 00:50:10,630 Hello, Joe Burrow. How are you doing tonight? 711 00:50:11,980 --> 00:50:16,380 I got some planets down here, I think. That's fire. Yo, that is different. 712 00:50:16,660 --> 00:50:20,480 No one's had that. I thought that was cool because it's like UFOs. Honestly, 713 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,760 going to buy a dress better than Joe Burrow. Yeah, you got to give me a Joe 714 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,000 Burrow, man. Come on. 715 00:50:25,740 --> 00:50:31,960 NFL Honors is the award show for the NFL. It's basically the Oscars for 716 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,400 players. I got you, bro. 717 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,560 When we went to the Super Bowl in 2021. 718 00:50:36,940 --> 00:50:40,300 Thanks, everybody, so much. I won Comeback Player of the Year and I'm 719 00:50:40,300 --> 00:50:41,299 for this weekend. 720 00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:45,120 Not going to an award show like that and getting ready to play is obviously much 721 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:49,640 more satisfying than being there, but you're trying to have fun. 722 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:57,120 It's all right, it's all right, it's all I've ever known.
