[crowd cheers]

[commentator 1] The underdog Saints

and the favorites, the Colts,
locked in a tight one in the second half.

If Peyton Manning
can't come up with something here,

the Saints are going to walk away
with their first Super Bowl victory.

[commentator 2] It's a resilient
football team, this New Orleans Saints.

They just have some toughness
that they've shown all year.

And I'll tell you, Super Bowl week,

they weren't out playing patty-cake
gettin' ready for this game.

They practiced hard.

[player] Let's go! Let's go! Hut!

[commentator 2] It's picked off!
It's picked off!

It's Tracy Porter again!
He's running free!

He's gonna go all the way!

Hands outstretched!
It is a Saint touchdown!

Seventy yards on the return!

[triumphant music plays]

[commentator 3] For the first time ever,

the New Orleans Saints
are the world champions.

[triumphant music continues]

[announcer] It's time for the presentation
of the Lombardi trophy.

Coach Payton, what does it feel like
to be holding that trophy?

Nobody thought we had a chance
when I came to New Orleans.

Nobody thought we had a chance
entering this season.

Nobody thought we had a chance
entering this game. It feels pretty good.

I'll bet it does, Coach.

But, for the record, I believed in you,

and I believed in this team
from the very start.

I don't remember you saying that.

I didn't share that opinion publicly,
but I said it a few times around my house.

Okay.

You can get going now.

You got it, Coach.

[knocking]

Hey, come on in.

Hey, Coach, um, I was just wondering--

Get me a piece of Juicy Fruit.

Okay, is that code for something?

Yeah, it's code for
"I-I like the taste of gum."

Get it.

[clears throat]

-You need something?
-Uh, yeah.

Uh, Mr. Good-all is on the phone.
Line one.

Roger Goodell on the phone?
The commissioner.

Uh, he didn't say what his job was.

Roger.

[reporter 1] The National Football League,

an American institution
and ten billion-dollar-a-year industry,

is caught up
in one of its biggest scandals.

The New Orleans Saints paying players
to injure opponents on the field.

[reporter 2] He condoned a bounty system.

He lied about it to the NFL's faces.

[reporter 3] As a head coach,

you need to be held accountable
and responsible.

[reporter 4] Coach Payton
has been suspended for a year.

[reporter 5] How much contact
can he have with the team?

[reporter 6]
The league has told me Sean Payton's

not to have any communication
that relates to coaching activity.

Okay, so you're out in front of it.

Then why is it all over the news, huh?
They're throwing me to the wolves. You--

[TV] It cannot be condoned…

Well, just fix it. All right? Do your job!

[TV] Payton should be gone for the year.

You know what I think
when people say they didn't do enough?

You did nothing.
All these guys deserve what they got.

I'm sorry I'm late, guys. Freaking chain.

-Cool bike. You get it for Christmas?
-No. It was my neighbor's. He died.

Oh, I'm sorry for your loss.
No kickstand, Coach?

It didn't come with one.
That's why you lean.

Coach Bizone taught us something.
It only took three seasons.

All right.
That's enough. That's enough. Take a lap.

[Mitch Bizone] Who, me?

No, Mitch, not you. Them. Go. Let's go.

Okay, good. I don't take a lap for nobody.

You get out of here too.

All right, let's get going, guys.
[blows whistle]

[coach] All right, Warriors.

Uh…

It was a good practice, right?

Marcos, way to hustle.
The rest of you, um…

Yeah. You know?

Remember, game is tomorrow at two o'clock.

Wait. Two? I thought it was four.

Come on. It was four last week
'cause it was an away game.

Tomorrow's at two
because we're playing at home.

Wait, who did we lose to last week?

I forget. It was the team
with the orange helmets and the swords.

Could've been the Vikings,
the Romans, or the Knights.

-The Blacksmiths.
-[coach] Thanks, Paulie.

Marcos, count us out.

All right. Come on! Come in here, baby!

Come on, come on! Hype up, hype up!

-[boy] My body hurts.
-All right.

Ready? One, two--

[all at different times] Warriors!

I got you, Coach.

Hello, and how are we tonight?

Uh, good, I guess.
Not sure why I even drove out here.

-Are you staying with us tonight?
-Yeah, what do you have available?

Let's see. All we have left
is our presidential suite.

Great. I'll take it.

Ah. [chuckles]

It's $125 a night.

That's fine.

Do you know how long
you're gonna be staying?

Mm, not sure.

Because I have to put in a check-out date
in the computer. That's how it works.

Let's just say three nights.

If you stay four nights,
you can get the fifth free.

-Fine, four nights.
-So you don't want the fifth night?

Why don't you tell me
how many nights I should stay?

I'm not allowed to do that, sir.

Then let's go with five, as long as
the fifth night isn't more of this.

Thank you for that thoughtful answer.

[commentator] And with the blue and white
Warriors losing by 34 points,

here comes Harlan Haire
for the field goal.

-There's our boy, number 44.
-[man] There he is. Go, Connor!

-Let's go, Connor!
-Connor!

Harlan, you okay?

[Harlan] Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

[Connor] Hut!

-[Paulie groans]
-[whistle blows]

-[Paulie] My butthole!
-[laughter]

This is nice, huh?

I'm feeling kind of dumb
wearing this, Jamie.

It's cozy.

Our combined body heat's actually melting
the M&M's in my trail mix.

Baby, everyone is staring at us.

They're not staring at us.

They're staring at your ex-husband.

[Jamie groans]

[woman] Sean?

What are you doin' here?

Hey. It's nice to see you too.

I didn't mean it like that.
Like, "What are you doin' here?"

I meant it like, "It's nice to see you,
but what are you doin' here?"

Just came to watch my son play.

It's nice to meet you.
I'm a little nervous.

I've only seen you on TV

and in the pictures
that your ex-wife threw away of you.

I'm Jamie, Beth's new husband.

Oh. Sean.

Sorry about the chocolate. Um…

Just awkward, you know.

This is your Snuggie, and you're…

[chuckles] Don't be awkward.

I'm just happy, uh,
Beth found someone to Snuggie with.

[grunting]

[Jamie] What the heck was that, ref?
Come on!

These kids are 12 years old!

What are we teaching them about violence
and conflict resolution?

[commentator] That's another touchdown
for the Vikings.

I'm guessing we're not the Vikings.

[commentators] That'll do it.

Seems like the Warriors are gonna
save on some electricity yet again.

What's with that?

Once a team gets up by 40,
they turn off the scoreboard. Game over.

Kind of put an end
to the trauma pain fest.

Big football fan, Jamie?

I'm, uh, more of a fan of my stepson.

-That's why I'm here.
-[Beth chuckles]

Hi, Con.

-What are you doing here?
-Wow. Glad everybody's happy to see me.

Oh, he didn't mean it like that.
Did you, honey?

I just came here to do some scouting.

You never can find
good prospects too early.

Hey, you, uh,
you played a great game out there.

We lost zero to 40.

No, no, I mean, you.
You were personally great.

You can't help it
if all your teammates are horrible.

No, no. He was…
he was good too. Couple of good guys.

Couple of horrible ones.

Listen, I was just hoping
to get some time together.

Maybe we can catch up, you know?

[Beth sighs]

[Jamie] Good game, Connor.

Hey, we're having a barbecue tomorrow
with some of Connor's teammates.

Why don't you come by?

-All right. Yeah, that sounds good.
-[Beth] Okay.

It's at three o'clock. I'm doing
some interesting things with saffron.

[Sean] The scoreboard thing is tough, huh?

The league don't want the boys
to feel too bad about themselves.

I think it makes 'em feel worse.

-Definitely doesn't feel great.
-[Sean chuckles]

You did a nice job out there, Coach.

Thanks. We're getting there. Troy Lambert.

Hey, Troy, I'm Sean. Sean--

I know who you are.
Connor's a fine young man.

Well, his mom did a great job.

That she did.
It was a pleasure meeting you.

Okay.

Hey, Sean.

How you doing? Mitch Bizone.
I'm Connor's coach.

Well, assistant coach. But, still,
you know, we're all part of the team.

Uh, anyway, um,
I-I hope I'm not out of line here,

but, uh, I am really sorry about
everything that's been goin' on with you.

I mean, I've been seein'
everything all over the news.

It's all good. Thank you.

Bountygate!

Yep. That's what they're callin' it.

Yep. Newspapers, radio…

-It's online too.
-Yep, I know.

-You know, the Internet--
-I know what the Internet is.

Yep. Bountygate.

-Everyone's talking about it.
-Okay.

-[Sean] You okay on that thing?
-[Mitch] All good.

[water gurgles]

[squeaking]

[phone rings]

Front desk. Eric speaking.

Yeah, uh, could you send,
uh, maintenance up here?

Uh, turn this Jacuzzi off.
It's making a lot of noise.

Oh, it's not on. It's just the filter.

Okay, well,
how do we get rid of the noise?

Most guests find the sound soothing, sir.

I find it aggravating.

Okay, I could bring you up a fan
to counter the noise.

But then, wouldn't I hear the fan?

[Eric] Very much so.

[water gurgles]

[sighs]

[doorbell chimes]

Sean, so glad you could make it.
Come on in.

I wanna shake the hand
that shook the hand of Drew Brees.

-There you go. All right?
-So are you gonna be our new coach?

-We need you. Like, we really need you.
-We suck so bad.

Sadly, it's true.

If we didn't have Marcos,
we'd be the worst team in the league.

We are the worst team.

But, Brian, can you imagine
how bad we'd be without Marcos?

Hell yeah! I'm blowing up, man.
And I'm not gonna be here long.

-Lucky to have me.
-[Sean] Tell you what.

You hang on to that confidence.

And the rest of you, listen to your coach.
Coach Troy and Coach Bizone.

-That's what you do.
-Coach Bizone.

Bizone.

♪ I'm riding my bike, I'm riding my bike ♪

-What's with Coach?
-He keeps drinking too much coach's juice.

He doesn't think we know, but he got
his license taken away four years ago.

Says the bike's part of a fitness regimen.

[laughter]

Hey, where's Connor?

Oh, he's still downstairs.

All right, boys. Food's ready outside.

[Sean] Hey, Con.

-Our boy doesn't talk much, does he?
-[Beth] Can you blame him?

-You missed a lot, Sean.
-[Sean] I understand.

But that's… That's why I'm here.

That's great,
but it's gonna take some time.

[Troy] Let's go.

["Feeling Good" by The Sheepdogs plays]

Where's your helmets?

Helmets.

-New Orleans Saints.
-[Sean] Emma. I-It's Emma, right?

Listen, it's Coach Payton.
I'm trying to get through.

I need to get
to the, uh, new defensive coordinator.

Mm, I'm not allowed
to be talking to you. No contact.

Well, first of all,
this is nothing official, all right?

We're just two friends talking.
That's all we're doing.

Yeah, I'm so sorry.
I don't wanna get in trouble. Bye!

Emma. Emma! Uh, Emma! Emily?

Connor, you've got outside contained.
Don't… don't guess.

-Let's run it again.
-[whistle blows]

Hey, Coach, my boy's Paulie, the center.

You got any pointers,
you just pipe right on up.

-He needs all the help he can get.
-Sure thing.

Take a look at him. He's good.

He's not great, but he's good.

Pretty good. He's okay.
See what you can do with him.

Try that if you want to.

Connor, Harlan, you guys
up for some vegan ice cream?

It tastes just like regular ice cream.

As long as you've never eaten
regular ice cream.

Try it?

Come on!

It's made with green tea, banana leaves.

-You'll love it.
-[Harlan] Sure.

[Jamie] It's a new hemp ice cream place.
Gonna close in two weeks.

I guarantee it. Come on in.

Any one of you guys got any cash?
Your dad give you a credit card?

[Harlan] Wait, you want me to pay?

[bicycle bell rings]

-Who this?
-I'm sorry. Uh, what's up, man?

Nothing. I'm just saying, "Who this."

Okay.

[Mitch] Black and gold, baby.

Argh! Son of a… Not again.

[bell rings]

[Mitch] Stupid, cheap chain.

[babbling continues]

[Sean] Freaking…

-[phone ringing]
-Another tie.

Front desk.

Okay. Well, now the Jacuzzi filter
won't stop babbling.

Sounds like a guy
that doesn't know when to shut up.

Oh, no, no, Mr. Payton.

Those voices you're hearing
are from the Jacuzzi in our royal suite.

-You guys have a royal suite?
-[Eric] Oh, yeah.

There's some fellows in there from SMU.

Let me know if they get too loud.
I'll bring up a fan.

Tell you what. Bring up a toaster.
We can end it all. Sound good?

All right. See you then.

[water gurgling and voices babbling]

[Sean groans]

[whistle blows]

Set! Down!

Blue, white! Blue, white!

Hut!

[commentator] Marcos drops back.

Makes the throw,
and it sails way over Brian's head.

And the Warriors blow yet another chance
to score in the red zone.

The Knights will now take possession.

[man] It's over! Step up.

[indistinct shouting]

[grunting]

This guy's got all day.

Get it, get it! Come on!

[whistle blows]

[Troy sighs]

-[Troy] Time-out.
-[whistle blows]

Come on, guys.

Hey, Payton, two more points,
then it's lights out.

This quarterback's unstoppable.

No. The QB doesn't check his blind side
when he drops into the pocket.

They should just bring the safeties.

Where's he going?

Hopefully he's gonna teach 'em to cheat.
We're getting killed out there.

Oh. Coach, did you see that?
Some punk just threw my visor.

-[Troy] Huddle up. Let's go.
-Who? Point him out. I'll snap his neck.

All right, guys.
It's that time of the game.

We can't let 'em score here.

I want all you d-backs
to drop into coverage, okay?

Actually, not… not all of you.

We're gonna blitz.

Linebacker blitz?

Safety blitz.

From the right?

From the left? Weak side safety blitz.

You heard… Yeah.
Weak side safety blitz, all right, guys.

Let's go get 'em. Come on! Come on!

[Marcos] Let's do this. Come on, guys.

Is this the one? Say you're sorry
to the man for throwing his visor.

-Sorry.
-It's not him!

You can't grab people by the neck.

It's fine. It's my nephew.

Son of a…

Uncle Mitch, you're the worst.

You're an embarrassment
to the family tree.

I'll pedal over to your mama's house.

You're gonna be on time-out
for, like, a month and a half.

Little punk-ass.

[whistle blows]

[indistinct chatter]

[tense music plays]

[man] Blind 38! Blind 38!

[grunting]

[grunting]

Oh, and it's a fumble.

Connor Payton picks it up.

Oh my God! Can you believe this?
Can you believe this?

He's at the 20. He's at the ten.

Oh my God! Touchdown, Warriors!

[triumphant music plays]

-Connor!
-Connor!

-[Beth screams]
-That was our guy!

First touchdown of the season!

And just as the game comes to an end.

That was a touchdown! A real touchdown!

Take it easy. Act like you've been here.

Fully happened!

[Mitch laughs uproariously]

[commentator] Folks, that'll do it.

Final score here,
Warriors, 6. Knights, 38.

I'll ask Mr. McGilligan.

Okay. I'm… I'm gonna change this
into a Lone Star? How about that?

Actually, make that two Lone Stars.

[Sean] I hope you didn't mind me
butting in like that.

Mind? That was
our first touchdown all year.

Tough year, huh?

Look, they're great kids.

And they're not untalented.

No, I know. I see speed.

They're eager to learn.
They've got a good attitude.

-Yeah.
-You know.

Yeah. They just…

They need some better plays to run
and maybe a little motivation.

That's why I'm fixin'
to get a whistle around your neck.

Oh, right. [chuckles]

Oh, you're serious?

No… no pressure.
Uh, we'd… we'd love to have you.

I don't know how long I'm gonna be here,
'cause I'm appealing my suspension.

I'm hoping to be back at work
before the season starts.

You miss it?

I really don't know
anything else, you know.

I mean, being a head coach of an NFL team
is like going a hundred miles an hour,

365 days a year.

Look, I figured.

I mean, I've been coaching your son
since peewee league.

I just met you last week.

Another reason I don't want a whistle.
I'm not even sure Connor would like it.

Look, being Sean Payton's son ain't easy.

Not for a kid playing football in Texas.

Hell, my dad
coached our local high school team,

and I never lived it down.

You won the damn Super Bowl.

-I never pushed him to play.
-[Troy] No, but he did.

And it may be easier on him,

and you, and, frankly, me

if you were on that field
with us every day.

[Mitch] Come on! Get off the wall! [yells]

[Mitch coughs]

[Mitch groans]

You do need help.

[uplifting music]

Hey, you got any more bagels back there?

Um, no.

Well, what about those right there?

Oh, yeah, those are for my wife.

She's pregnant.

This is your first?

No, it's my third.
I've been nibbling all morning.

I meant kids.

Oh. Yeah, it's my first.

Hey, listen, I'm, uh,
gonna extend my stay.

-How long?
-[Sean] I'm not doin' this again with you.

Just extend it, okay?

Now, you guys got a copy machine?
I'm gonna need 23 copies of this.

Oh, technically it's self-service.

I got you, Mr. Payton.

-Got anything I can spread this jelly on?
-There's some hard-boiled eggs over there.

I didn't say the worst thing
you could spread jelly on.

You didn't say the best.

God.

[pipe music plays]

[bell rings]

What are you doing?

What was I doing?

Transcendental Meditation.

It's where I repeat a mantra to myself

until I reach
a deeper state of consciousness.

Hmm. What's a mantra?

A mantra is a word or a phrase
or even a noise that you repeat

and it helps you focus
and clear your mind.

You know, we could meditate together,

and clear our minds
and share memories and feelings.

-Isn't that cool?
-Well, like what?

I could tell you about the time
when I was in college

and I was backpacking through Asia.

I thought for sure they were all women.

-Jamie.
-Yes?

Connor shouldn't be
hearing about that at his age.

But he's… he's not hearing. He's feeling.

[scoffs] That's even worse.

[car horn honks]

Oh, that must be your dad.
He's gonna take you to practice today.

What?

He called this morning
and asked if he could take you.

Why didn't you say no?

I think it'll be good for you guys
to connect and get some one-on-one time.

Well, I don't want
any one-on-one time with him.

-I'm not going to practice.
-Yeah, skip practice.

Stay here. I'll share with you
the time I was in a bathhouse

with ten sumo wrestlers.

-These guys prune up everywhere.
-All right. I'll go. I'll go.

Any music you like?

You still into country?

You know where you're going?

The only place I've been
other than my hotel for the last week?

Yeah, I got an idea.

I meant from my house.

You know I used to live there, right?
Before the dream catchers and salt lamps.

I've been told.

So,

guess who the new offensive coordinator
for the Warriors is?

How did that happen?

Coach Troy asked me,

and I thought it'd be cool
because we'll get to hang.

Hang?

Yeah. What we're doing right now. Hangin'.

It's tough enough right now
with you just in the bleachers.

You know what Paulie's dad said about you?

[scoffs] I don't give a crap
about what Paulie's dad thinks.

Maybe I do.

Hell yeah, I want stuffed crust.
What kind of question's that?

Paulie, are you seriously
ordering a pizza right now?

We're about to practice.

Ordering it now
so it gets here at the peak of my hunger.

I don't care. Hang up the phone.

All right, Warriors. Our season
hasn't got off to the best start.

What are you talking about?
We scored a touchdown.

[all chanting] ♪ We scored a touchdown!
We didn't get shut down! ♪

♪ We scored a touchdown! ♪

All right. All right.
True, but we did still lose 38 to 6.

Wow, killing the vibe, Coach.

Look, I know each of y'all
are doing your best, okay?

We just need somethin'
to pull it all together. A new voice.

Is Mr. Payton gonna be our new coach?

[boys cheer]

Coach Payton is gonna be
our new offensive coordinator.

[boys groan]

-Okay.
-[Troy] How about that?

Our defense sucks too.

Thank you.

Look, I want you boys to treat Mr. Payton
with the same respect you treat me.

Oh, oh, we can do better than that.

But to clarify,
Coach Payton is third in line.

In other words,
if Coach Troy were the president,

I'd be the vice president.

And if Coach Troy
happened to get assassinated,

I'd take over.

Coach Payton would then become
the vice president.

Um, what happens
if both of you guys got shot?

Well, I think they'd, uh, cancel.
I don't think we could play that game.

Okay, that's good to know.
Guys, let's line up.

-[laughter]
-Hey, when I tell my guys to line up,

the last one there,
he'd be running stairs till sundown.

[boys shouting]

[boy groans]

Gentlemen, it's about speed.

So if you don't got it,
you better hurry up and get it.

Now, on my count,

we're gonna run to that 40-yard line
as fast as you can.

You said, "On my count."

How many Mississippis is that gonna be?

How about this? [blows whistle]

[dramatic music plays]

One, two, three, four.

Congratulations. You four
just became our new wide receivers.

Let's get those pads on.
Let's get to work. Come on.

Get over that. Go, go, go, go!

Keep goin'.

Whoa! Slow down there, buddy.

It doesn't matter. I'm just playing
so my dad can relive his glory days.

If you're not happy by end of the season,
I'll talk to him. How's that sound?

-Really?
-Yep, but I'm not gonna have to.

Everybody, listen up.

The only reason to play football
is to have fun.

And the only way to have fun

is to win.

And the only way to win

is with this.

A new playbook?

[all] Whoa!

[boy] Awesome!

[indistinct shouting]

[Marcos] Are these real NFL plays?

[Nate] Oh my God!

[boy] We'll be winning the championship.

-[boy 1] How can they stop us?
-[boy 2] Whoa!

Look at Page 16.

I see you made a few minor changes.

It's upside down. Just turn it.

-Oh.
-Yeah.

Got it.

Yeah. The base is all there.
I just expanded on it, that's all.

Listen, I want you to study them,
take 'em home with you tonight.

-Keep 'em with you at all times.
-[all boys] Yes, sir.

[Sean] All right.

[boy] What play is this?

Mr. Coach Payton.
Cindy Jenkins, Dennis's mom.

-Nice to meet you.
-I wanna talk to you about Dennis.

Whatever position I asked him to play,
that's what he's playing for a while.

I don't care what position he's playin'
as long as he's playin' football.

I just don't want you goin' easy on him.
That little peanut needs toughenin' up.

I treat all my players the same.
Always have.

It's just Dennis is so nice and sweet.

This is Texas, Coach. That won't fly.

-Sounds like a job for Dennis's dad.
-Oh, he's out the picture.

He went out to Meineke for a new muffler
in 2007 and never came back.

All right, well, I'm sorry about that.

Listen, come on over to the house.

Run some drills with him, maybe me.
I'll make dinner.

[sighs] It's awful nice of you,
but, uh, it's not necessary.

Well, how many nights in a row
can you eat at J.D. McGilligan's?

I'm making gumbo.

Please, for Dennis.

All right, fine, but for now,
I got a game to get ready for, so…

-You do you, baby.
-[Sean] Mm-hmm.

Got a girlfriend!

[driver] New Orleans Saints, huh?

I was a hell of a running back myself.

In '86, I was the man.

I scored a touchdown
with four defenders on my back.

Blown out knee, blown out ankle,

severe jock itch, a cavity,

everybody still on my back,

helped a woman have a baby,

scored the touchdown,

did my touchdown dance,

and came home to save my mama
from a heart attack.

Gus, keep your eyes on the road.

Still got the jock itch though.

[dramatic music plays]

[commentator] With the Rams leading 6-0,

they have the ball
on the Warriors' 45-yard line.

Second down with three yards to go
for the first down.

[Sean] Come on, Dennis!

Go, Dennis!

[Dennis] Mama! [grunts]

[crowd groans]

[whistle blows]

-Did Dennis just fall down?
-Yeah, he doesn't like contact.

Does he know he's playin' football?

-[chuckles]
-[whistle blows]

[Sean] Hey, uh, Dennis, come here.

So you, uh…
you wanna tackle that guy, huh?

I mean, I did. Then I didn't.

Coach Troy and I
have been thinking about it,

and we're gonna move you to fullback.

Fullback? I-I can't play fullback.
Everyone's gonna try and hit me.

Well, you better make sure
that they don't.

That was good.
Some real sports psychology right there.

Yeah, a little bit.

[Troy chuckles]

What you got in there?

Uh, it's for my…

It's for my, uh, skin condition.

Yeah.

I want 42 long, I-formation,
wideout trips, all right? Go, go, go, go!

All right, huddle up, uh…

42 long, I-formation wide,
something, something.

-Wait. Am I the formation?
-Who's number 42?

-Dennis, we're on offense.
-They told me to come.

-Where am I supposed to line up?
-You're the center.

Right.

Didn't any of you study the plays?

My dad didn't even understand these plays.

-Everyone, just go long.
-Okay, ready?

[all] Ready!

[man] Watch that pass! Watch that pass!

Set! Set!

Blue, white. Blue, white. Hut!

[grunting]

[dramatic music plays]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[grunts]

-[boy] Whoa!
-Uh, thanks.

[boy] Way to go, Coach.

[woman] Good job, good job.

Marcos, nice throw.

All right. Hey, good first half.

Some minor adjustments, all right? Marcos.

Coach.

You are the most talented player
on our team.

-Too true.
-Don't remind him.

-Second most talented.
-[laughter]

Focus up, boys.
Listen. You're not a quarterback.

-We're moving you to running back.
-I'll do both. I could do it all.

You can't play QB and running back
at the same time.

All good. Whatever the team needs, baby.

Okay. What did you call me?

-Coach.
-[Sean] That's what I thought.

-Brian, you're new starting quarterback.
-Yes!

Finally! You can all suck it.

Brian, you know in the NFL,
when the linemen don't like the QB,

you know what they do?
They let the defense through.

Sorry, everybody. I'll suck it.

[boy] Yeah!

Okay, guys, let's go.

[Sean] Everybody else,
you're in the same positions.

Let's get some effort.
A little energy. Let's go!

[boys shouting]

Sure about doing this at halftime?

What we were doing wasn't workin'.
We gotta adjust.

I don't wanna adjust these kids
into the emergency room.

They'll be fine.

They can barely play the positions
they've been playing all year.

[whistle blows]

They're all in different places.
That's good?

He switched it all up.

[Connor] Dennis, I think you're over here.

-Why ain't Marcos the quarterback?
-I don't know.

Ready. Set. Go!

[dramatic music plays]

[groans]

Now that could not have been
an actual play.

Maybe we go back to the old, dumb,
peewee playbook for the rest of the game.

I know this is like buildin' an airplane
while you're flyin' it, but trust me.

Yeah, more like crappin' in a rainstorm
when you're buildin' an outhouse.

-That doesn't make sense.
-Neither do these plays, Troy.

Let's get you some water.
Come on, come on.

Let's go. Field goal unit.

[tense music plays]

What the hell is he lookin' at?

[Connor] Harlan.

Hike.

[Paulie groans] My butthole!

Come on!

[man] Hey, Payton!

You can't just switch everything up.
This ain't no merry-go-round.

What you doin'? Marcos has been
a quarterback his whole life.

He'll be a running back
for the rest of it.

Are you blind? My boy's got a cannon.

He's the best player on the team
besides Paulie.

He's more of an asset as a running back.

He's not one of your assets.
He's my son, and he's a quarterback.

Here's the thing.

I'm here to win games,

not make you feel better
about what position your son's playing.

So stay in the stands with the parents,

and I'll be on the sidelines
with the coaches.

Guys, give it a chance, please.

I think we're, uh, finished here, fellas,
for the day.

The bus is full anyway.

Man, I expected today to go better.

Yeah, we're worse than we were
before he showed up.

I thought this guy was supposed to be
some type of Super Bowl-winning coach.

Yeah, and we scored a touchdown
without him.

[Paulie] Yeah.

♪ We scored a touchdown!
We scored a touchdown! ♪

All right, boys, listen up.

I know it might not have felt like it,
but I saw a lot of improvement out there.

As soon as we get a handle
on these new plays,

we're gonna turn things around real quick.

Yeah, um, Coach, I don't think any of us
understand the new plays.

What? Who's having trouble
with the playbook?

[Gus laughs] It looks unanimous.

[laughs]

[Sean] Gotta line up here.
I want everybody hip-to-hip here.

I don't want any space here.
People were getting through here.

Salt shaker right there… Okay?

We gotta get set up here.

Connor, Jason, you are our tortilla chips.

That means, Dennis and Marcos,
you're our lime wedges. You're right here.

-Which makes our hot sauce… That's Brian.
-Brian's more of a napkin. [laughs]

We're going green right formation.
That's our initial formation. You with me?

[all] Yes, Coach. Yeah.

Great. Okay. Now we have our X chip
on the side here, and our Z--

-Where's the Z chip? What did you do?
-Sorry.

All right. Okay, here we go.

We got our Z chip here,
but we're gonna send our Z chip in motion.

Now we have both wide receivers
on this side.

Once they cross the line of scrimmage,
they cut right, which means our hot sauce…

-I drop back and fake it to the lime.
-Yes.

I'm the lime.
I pretend to get the ball and block?

[Sean] Yeah.

-Jason and I cut to the right.
-I throw it to the open tortilla chip.

Yes! There you go!

[applause]

[Sean] Now let's go with X whip.

We're gonna do the same thing,
but we're not linin' up that way.

We'll bring this chip here. Don't eat it.

[Dennis] Hey, Coach, what if a cupcake
tries to attack 'em?

-[Sean] You're afraid of a cupcake now?
-[Paulie] Cupcakes sound good.

-Can I see a dessert menu?
-[laughter]

[Sean] You get that first step,
you're up the sideline, you know?

It's all you.

You gonna stick around
for the rest of the season?

Well, if I win my appeal, I'll probably…
I'll probably have to go back.

Con,

it's my job.

-[sighs] I wish you guys were closer.
-Why can't you be closer?

Coach the Cowboys.
Dallas is, like, 45 minutes away.

'Cause Dallas already has a coach.

[Sean sighs]

Look,

I know this hasn't been easy.

No, you don't.

[Sean] What do you mean?

What is it, Con?

[sighs] People always ask me about you.

And most of the time,
I have to just make it up, because…

I don't know you.

[sighs]

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
C-Connor, look, I'm here.

I'm here now.

You can ask me anything.

What do you wanna know?

What made you decide to go
for the onside kick in the Super Bowl?

That's a good question.

Sometimes to succeed,
you need to do the unexpected.

That's what I did with that onside kick.
I knew it would surprise 'em, and it did.

Any other questions?

Did you do it?

Do what?

What happened with your team.

It's complicated, Connor.

But look, at the end of the day,
I'm the head coach,

so I-I-I've gotta be the one
to take responsibility.

If you're taking responsibility,
then why are you appealing?

Wow.

That's another good question. [sighs]

I don't know. I guess…

I couldn't see myself
being away from football for another year.

Well, you're not away from it anymore,
I guess.

You gonna pick me up
for practice tomorrow?

Assuming Coach Troy doesn't fire me.

[chuckles]

[gentle music plays]

[Sean] Nine seconds left. We're down
by two. This is it. This is our season.

We make it or break it right here.
We got time for one more play.

And this is how we define ourselves.
We gotta decide who do we want to be?

-Paulie, pay attention!
-Y-Yes, Coach.

Here's where we're goin'. We're gonna go
turbo stack, green four. Okay?

-What?
-Two limes. One hot sauce.

-Bring the queso?
-Bring the queso, guys!

[all] Yeah!

[dramatic music plays]

[Sean] Let's go!

[Sean] Go, seven!

Let's go!

[dramatic music continues]

[whistle blows]

[Sean] Get down! Go, baby! Go!

Down, set, go!

[grunting]

[Sean] Get it. You got it. Yeah!

Come on, Marcos.

-[grunting]
-[yells]

Go, go, go, go, go, go! Go, go!

[triumphant music plays]

[crowd cheers]

[Beth] Jamie, we won! We won!

-We won our first game!
-We won!

[cheering and shouting]

Way to go, man.

[yelling]

[laughter and chatter]

[boy] Over here! I'm open!

Ah, so this is what it feels like to win.

-Next stop, championship!
-[boy] Yeah!

Don't get ahead of yourself, Jason.

No, no, no. I like the energy.
Hey, listen up, everybody.

Hey, you guys earned this, okay? Enjoy it.

I want you to carry this feeling
to the next game.

[all] Yeah!

Is that what this is about?
That young lady?

It's got nothing to do with her.

Hey, I need you to focus.

She… she is not here.

-[crowd groans]
-[whistle blows]

[Paulie] My butthole!

And the Warriors win,
but the extra point is no good.

Thank you, Mom.

[Paulie] Let's go!

[boys cheer]

Did you see Connor score that goal?

Yeah. I was, uh… I was… I was out there.

Yes, I saw you.

I like you and Connor connecting.

You said it would take some time,
and it did,

but I feel like we're moving
in the right direction.

You know, when I was a kid,
I idolized my father so much.

Then, when I was eight, they got divorced.

My dad moved out.
I resented him so much. I…

He used to call the house.
I wouldn't even pick up the phone.

He'd come by outside school, and I…

I'd walk right by him
and not even acknowledge him.

I know that must've hurt him.

So when did you guys reconnect?

Oh, we never did.

Yeah. He could be dead by now.
It was 30 years ago, but…

Anyway, good game today.

Uh, why… Why would you tell me that story?

You're wearing the same cologne as he did,
and it just reminded me of him.

I-I don't wear cologne.

Oh. My bad. [chuckles] Sorry about that.

I just thought…

I-I got a whiff of something, and I…
I just spilled my maté.

[Beth] It's okay.

Sorry again.

[cheerful music plays]

[knocking]

Oh, right on time.

Oh, and dressed so snazzy.

-Come on in.
-[Sean] Thank you for having me.

Oh, and you brought a tiny cake.

Hey there, buddy. What you working on?

-Oh, Spanish.
-Bueno.

Huh?

I hope you like Pinot Grigio.
We drink a lot of it.

"We"?

Well, just me.
Makes it more fun around here.

You know, I-I think I'm good on the wine.

You know, we got a big game tomorrow.
Right, Dennis? The Porcupines.

They've been league champs
for four years in a row.

Hope they don't humiliate us too bad.

Hey, muy pesimistico.

[Cindy laughs]

Oh, you're so funny, Sean.

[Cindy laughs]

[Cindy clears throat]

But I sense a lot of pain
underneath that jovial exterior.

Was it a rough breakup with Beth?

It was… It was just one of those things.

Oh, I see.

Yeah, those skinny girls
can never handle a strong, robust man.

They snap like a twig under real pressure.

I don't think we should talk about it
in front of Dennis.

-Dennis, go to your room.
-But I'm hungry.

You always hungry.

I'm pretty hungry too. It smells amazing.
So why don't we, uh, get to dinner, huh?

You should see how I do on breakfast.

Oh, hold on now.

Oh, eyelash stuck. Hold on.

Let me just see if I can just
put my fingernail up in there.

And, nope. Damn it. I can't get it open.

I need to run to the ladies' room
to unstick this.

It won't be but a minute. [giggles]

Dennis, check on that gumbo.

-I don't wanna get it burnt up for Coach.
-Yes, Mama.

[cell phone rings]

-I gotta take this. This is important.
-This is your chance to get out.

-Yeah. Tell your mom I said thank you.
-Just go!

Hey, great timing with the call.
How'd we do?

[male voice] Sorry. It's over.
They aren't gonna let you coach this year.

What? You said
you were out in front of this thing.

-[man 1] Come on, guys. Let's go.
-[whistle blows]

[man 2] There he is. Hurry up.

You lost your appeal with the NFL.
Any comments?

I'm just here
to watch my son play football.

It has nothing to do
with my situation with the NFL.

-Just a few questions.
-No comment.

-[Brian] Hey, Marcos, say something.
-I have a comment.

Coach Payton is the best!

-Yeah!
-[Troy] Come on. Let's go.

-We got a game. Focus.
-Harlan loves you, Brooke Davis!

-[Brian] Not guilty!
-No comment. No comment.

They weren't asking you nothin'.

-[man] Porcupine! Stick 'em!
-[team grunts]

-[man] Stick 'em!
-[team grunts]

[man] Stick 'em!

-[man] Stick 'em!
-[team grunts]

[dramatic music plays]

Hey, don't… don't look at them.

Eyes up here, guys. Let's go. Come on.

Why, ain't this nice?
Super Bowl-winning coach.

Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame.

Coach of the Year, 2006.

And now you're here.

-Porcupine!
-[team grunts]

-Stick 'em!
-[team grunts]

[grunting]

[yelping]

-[grunting]
-[whistle blows]

Oh! [chuckles]

Personal foul! Roughing the passer!

Yes!

[man] Was that Drew Brees we just
dropped? Don't look like Drew Brees.

Not quite the same footwork. [laughs]

Give me some.
You gotta give me some quicker.

I mean, there's no way these guys are 12.
52 doesn't look like no kid.

He looks like he has a kid.

[boy] Set. Blue, 88. Blue, 88. Hike.

[Paulie screams]

[man] Go! Go!

[commentator] That's another touchdown
for the Porcupines.

[boy] Yes!

[man] Hey, Fancy Pants!

Your big ole trophy don't scare me.

You in football country now. I own you.

-[man laughs]
-Is there any way to stop them?

Not unless you wanna put Gus on the line.

Put me in, Coach.

Down, set, go.

Fumble! Go! Go! Go!

[crowd cheers]

[grunting]

[dramatic music plays]

[commentator] And that's another touchdown
for the Porcupines.

It's too easy!

[commentator] Which will
close this one out.

[reporter] Guys, just a disastrous effort
by Sean Payton.

That's that.

[man laughs]

Good game, Big Time.

You remember
the last time Sean Payton was on?

I think he injured his shoulder.
He was pattin' himself on the back,

telling us the offensive innovator
and all this great stuff.

Well, he lost his appeal.

The Saints just won
their first game without him,

and he's coaching
his 12-year-old son's football team.

And what did they do
with Sean Payton as their head coach?

They got crushed
by their crosstown rivals, the Porcupines.

Woo! That's the hit
you only see in your nightmares. [laughs]

[TV] I know that coach, Daryl Fitzsimmons,
had to love this, because he…

Hey, change the channel, would you?

Doesn't get any worse than that--

Ouch. Maybe Payton's lost his magic touch.

It makes you wonder
if the Saints will even bring him back.

Maybe they'll hire
the coach from the Porcupines.

That Porcupines coach is pretty good.

Has some funny zingers.

Like, one time at a gas station,

he told me I looked like
if Ellen DeGeneres and a robot had a baby.

So good.

God.

Payton, maybe it's time to give Marcos
another chance at QB? What do you say?

Hey, Calvin. Funny, I didn't hear from you
when we won six straight.

Yeah, and Paulie's tired
of getting kicked in the ass too.

All right. I forgot my notebook
on the sidelines.

Let me go grab it
so I can write some notes down.

-Oh. Okay.
-Thanks for considering that.

-You mind if I address the whole team?
-Be my guest.

[whistle blows]

Everybody, take a knee.

That was a bad loss.

We are going to get our revenge.

We don't play them again.

Oh, thank God.

We play them again in 27 days.
In the championship game.

I know they're gonna be
at the championship game,

but how are we gonna get there?

-We'd have to win the rest of our games.
-That's right, Jason.

You guys know what Drew Brees does
after every game?

When everybody else has gone home,
Drew stays on the field,

and he runs through
the progressions in his head

to see what he could've done better.

That's what separates him from the rest.

That's how you become great.

You think we can beat 'em, Dad?

We're not only gonna beat 'em,

we're gonna shut the scoreboard off.
How about that?

Yeah, boys.

[all] Yeah!

Last Saturday,
I saw a team get beat mentally!

I saw guys quitting!

I saw guys not at their physical best.

So how do we bring that to the next level?

I'll tell you how.

We start running laps. Go! [whistle blows]

He wasn't talking about me quitting
and not being my physical best, was he?

He wasn't,
but a couple of laps wouldn't hurt.

[inspiring music plays]

[whistle blows]

[whistle blows]

Let's go. Get in there. Get in there.
Line it up. Let's go. Who wants it now?

[whistle blows]

Yeah!

[Sean] Again! Harder!
You knock him in the dirt!

Paulie, put the pizza down.
That's not your physical best.

Listen up, guys.

We need to address our weakest link,
which is our kicking game.

-[Paulie] My butt hurts, man.
-It's because of Harlan's girlfriend.

She's not my girlfriend.

-Tell her not to come.
-You need to focus, man.

[kids shouting]

[Troy] Hey, hey, hey, cut it out.

Listen up. Harlan's your teammate. You're
all gonna go through the same thing,

so we need to help him
with his girlfriend problems.

Guys, she's not my girlfriend.
She doesn't even know I exist.

-Have you ever talked to this girl?
-[Harlan] I can't.

I dropped out of chorus
the first day she joined.

Aw, big loss.
Harlan's got the voice of an angel.

I say stay away from her.

-Oh God, not again.
-She'll break your heart.

-Next thing, she's seeing some busboy.
-Mitch.

-Then you're moving in with your mother.
-We talked about this.

-M-M-Mitch, stop.
-And this kid's gonna kick my ass?

[Sean] Okay, Mitchell.

-25 years old? H-How am I gonna fight him?
-[Sean] Mitch, shut up.

I've got a bad hip and a back made
out of saltines, for crying out loud.

Hey!

Hey, Mitch, chill, man.
I'm setting you up with my twin sister.

Guys, look, Harlan's our teammate, okay?

He's got a problem.
We need to help him solve it.

I mean, my mom likes it
when I make her breakfast in the morning.

Make her breakfast.

-I don't even know how to cook.
-But you do know how to sing.

Trust me, this is gonna work.
Ladies, they love the lanterns.

[chuckles] Had these left over
from my third wedding.

Ah, I always have problems.

Good luck, kid. Don't screw it up.

Here she comes!

What do you want?

Wow, she's much older
than I thought she would be.

I was sleepin'.
Do you know what time it is?

It's like 7:30.

Uh, hi. Is Brooke home?

Wrong house, dummy.
It's across the street.

Argh, fire!

[dramatic music plays]

Mom!

Okay, guys, uh,
I think I'm gonna call it a night.

[dramatic music continues]

[car alarm wails]

-How are you gonna get to work tomorrow?
-I won't. I'll be fired, but I'll be okay.

Well, at least she knows who you are now.

[fireman] Coming down there!

-[boy 1] Yeah, boys.
-[boy 2] Yeah, yeah.

There is excitement
in Argyle, Texas, today, boys.

-Gentlemen. Amazing news.
-Hey, Jamie.

Since I got fired
from the health food store

for letting the cat sleep in the kale,

I've been in the kitchen,
your old kitchen,

perfecting my recipe
for the ultimate energy bar.

-Okay.
-And today, I finally succeeded.

Gentlemen, may I present to you
the Super Log.

-Okay, great. Thank you.
-You mind if I hand 'em out to the boys?

Great, Jamie. Go ahead.

Hey, listen, guys. Wake up!
Come on over here. Everybody. Let's go.

Come on.

Now, we are one game away.

One game away from the championship.

I can't go out there and win it for you.

Each and every one of you
has to do your job.

Do your job and have fun.

-Let's get on that bus. Let's go!
-[boys] Yeah!

Super Log. Super Log.
Grab one, a Super Log.

Uh, do you think I'll get in today, Coach?

-Let me talk to Coach Payton about it.
-Okay.

All right.

[indistinct chatter]

[tense music plays]

[commentator] The Warriors
could win with a field goal,

but Coach Payton has decided
to go for the touchdown.

With a trip to the championship at stake,

they'll have one final play
to secure their spot.

[tense music continues]

Ain't gonna score, boys.
Season's over for ya.

That's what you think.
We're going to the champ--

[boy] Ugh. Ew!

Ew, dude!

Time-out! Time-out!

That's our last time-out!
What are you doin'?

[whistle blows]

You okay, Paulie?

-I am feeling better now that I hurled.
-[Troy] Okay.

Coach, I don't feel so--

Ew, Marcos, that's so--

What the hell is happening?

Jamie's Power Logs.

-Super Logs.
-How many of y'all had a Log?

Oh, I forgot I had one.

I don't know what the penalty is,
but I'm calling a forfeit.

Don't forfeit. We are five yards away
from a championship game.

-We are finishing this.
-They're all sick.

Blue Delta Lightning! Let's go! Let's go!

[whistle blows]

[epic dramatic music plays]

-[Beth speaks inaudibly]
-[epic dramatic music continues]

[instinct shouting]

[indistinct shouting]

Ten!

[stomach gurgling]

[epic dramatic music continues]

[indistinct shouting]

[whistle blows]

[retching]

[grunting]

[commentator] Touchdown, Warriors!
Incredible victory!

The Warriors have barfed their way
into the championship.

[triumphant music plays]

[commentator]
The championship game is set.

Warriors versus the Porcupines.

[water gurgles]

[whirs]

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

-Sean. How you holding up?
-Been better, Coach.

I can't hear you.
Are you in a tornado or something?

Oh, no, no, it's a-a Jacuzzi filter
a-and a fan.

Uh, look, um,
I-I'm coaching my son's team,

and we-we're coming up against an offense
I've never seen before.

Okay, what's it look like?

They got four backs,
an unbalanced lineman, and it just--

[coach] Single wing.

The Steelers used to use this
as their base formation in their offense

up until the early '50s.

For the life of me, I can't figure it out.

Easy. Take your wide receivers
and make them linebackers.

-Okay.
-[coach] This is not about skill set.

It's about speed.

By the way, if you lose,
do not tell anybody that I helped you.

-[chuckles] Yeah, I promise.
-[coach] Good.

The other thing
you have to focus on is this.

You're taking offensive players
to defense…

Oh, I love that.
Okay, great. That's great.

[dramatic music plays]

[crowd cheering]

[commentator] And welcome
to the North Central Texas Championship,

where today's matchup is against
the defending Springtown Porcupines

and the Argyle Warriors.

Captains to the center.

That's far enough. For the toss,

we'll be using the North Central
Texas Championship commemorative coin.

Warriors, call it in the air.

Tails.

-Tails it is. Kick or receive?
-Receive.

Enjoy it. It's the only thing
you're gonna win all night.

[chuckles] That's a good one. Do you have
a response? No? That's all right.

And away we go.

Remember the feeling you had
after we lost to these guys.

A lot of times,
we don't get a shot at redemption.

In the NFL, you lose to a team,

you may not see them
for the rest of the season.

You gotta carry that feeling
for another year.

You guys earned this,

and tonight we get to put that right
by showing them exactly who we are.

Now, who are we?

[all] Warriors!

[Sean] Now, let's
shut that scoreboard down.

-Let's go, boys. Game time!
-Get in there! Let's go!

That got me. That got me.

Uh, hey, uh,

do you think Harlan could play tonight?

-What?
-Well, he hasn't played in a while.

I understand he's your bud and all,
but, uh, no, he-he sits.

[Daryl] I got you, Payton!

We about to eat!

We about to eat good too! [laughs]

Y'all ready? Y'all ready?
Let's do this! Let's do this! Come on!

[dramatic music plays]

[grunting]

[whistle blows]

[crowd cheers]

Here we go. Here we go.
Here we go. Get that ball.

[panting]

[grunting]

Marcos Gutierrez to return.

-Come on!
-Run it! Run it!

[grunting]

[Sean] Yes! Yes!

Hey! Hey!

Here we go! Here we go!

[commentator] To the 30.

-To the 20.
-Go!

To the ten!

[panting]

[dramatic music continues]

-[commentator] Touchdown, Warriors!
-Woo!

Let's go! Yeah! Let's go. Come on!

What a tremendous open for the Warriors.

Okay! Okay. Okay, Payton!

All right! Let's go, defense! D-D-D!

Hey! That's what I'm talking about.

Get in there.
Way to go, guys. Get it done.

Here, listen up.

Okay, when we get out there,
we're gonna be in a 3-4.

But, Jason, I had an idea for you.

I know how to attack this offense.

Okay? What they're running
is called a "single wing." And we gotta--

Aren't you running the offense now?

I can do both. Here's the deal.

To beat the single wing,
we gotta do this with speed.

We're gonna take our two fastest players,
Connor and Marcos,

and we're gonna put you guys
as defensive ends--

Uh, uh, I thought
I was the defensive lineb--

[Sean] You were. Okay? You're not now.
We gotta be able to adjust, okay?

-When did you come up with this?
-[Sean] Last night.

By myself. Layin' on my bed
in a crappy hotel, drinkin' a scotch.

Okay, here it is.

Defensive ends, we're gonna send them all
with speed, speed, speed, okay? Let's go.

Get it done.

-So we're not on D anymore?
-I don't know what we're doing.

Don't you think you have your hands full
with the offense?

Listen, this game is gonna be
either won or lost by defense.

But I don't know how I feel
about sitting so many guys.

I know exactly how I feel.

[tense music plays]

[whistle blows]

[tense music continues]

Hey, what's goin' on?

[boy] Hike!

[grunting]

[grunting]

That's my boy! Okay, get 'em, okay!

Yeah!

Oh, so you wanna make adjustments?

I can adjust too.

I'm an adjustable chair, baby.

I'mma pull it back on you.
I'm reclining on you.

You ain't never seen a La-Z-Boy like this.

[whistle blows]

[indistinct shouting]

-[boy] Hut!
-[grunting]

-[commentator] Ball is loose!
-Get on it!

[tense music continues]

[Daryl groans]

Yeah!

-[referee] Warrior ball!
-[commentator] And Warriors recover!

-That's right!
-That's how you play football!

-Yeah, Connor!
-Yes!

You seeing this, Ronald?

All right, good stuff, team. Good stuff!

There you guys go. Way to go.
What are you guys doing? Get out there.

Wait, Marcos and I are on offense too?

Yeah, offense and defense.
Let's go. Come on.

All right, everyone! Let's go! Let's go!

[boy] 3-8-8. Set!

[grunting]

-[commentator] Brian drops back.
-[grunting]

He airs it out to Payton.

[dramatic music plays]

[commentator] Who hauls it in.
Touchdown, Warriors!

There we go! There we go!

[yells] What was that?

[commentator] And just like that,

the Warriors take
an early two-touchdown lead.

Blue 88.

I'm comin' for you! I'm comin' for you!

[commentator] The Porcupines
will try to capitalize in the red zone

and put some points on the board.

It's a handoff to Bunche.
Oh, he jukes a defender.

-Touchdown Porcupines.
-What I'm talking about.

They can't hold you! They can't hold you!

They can't hold him!
They can't hold him! They can't hold him!

You can't hold him! [laughs]

[dramatic music continues]

Set, hut!

[grunting]

[commentator] Another throw
from Brian to Connor.

Touchdown, Warriors!

[commentator] Neither team ready
to take their foot off the gas.

We head to the second quarter.

-[thudding]
-[panting]

[groaning]

[grunting]

Sean Payton is runnin' these kids ragged.

And with just seven seconds
left in the half,

the Porcupines will have one last shot
at the end zone to tighten the score.

[tense music plays]

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

[commentator] That's a touchdown
for the Porcupines.

Yes! You can't coach speed.

You got all of halftime
to think about that one, Sean.

[Daryl laughs]

[commentator] That'll do it
for the first half.

For the first time all season,

the Porcupines are down.

Warriors lead 18 to 17.

Ronald is already celebrating
with his lucky halftime pickle.

[Sean] We're looking good.

You can be sure
they're gonna make adjustments.

So we need to be ready.

-I'm tired, Coach.
-That happens when you put the work in.

-You're gonna get tired. Suck it up.
-I'm exhausted too, Dad.

Why can't Nate and Jason
get back on defense, Coach?

'Cause sometimes you need to sacrifice
for the good of the team, Dennis.

[scoffs] Yeah, right.

I'm sorry?

You never sacrifice for anyone.
You make everyone else sacrifice for you.

Settle down there, son.
Listen, Brian. I want you to--

You're yelling at everybody

and won't let anybody listen
to Coach Troy.

-You haven't let Harlan play in weeks.
-[Sean] I'm trying to win a championship.

Just so you don't look bad.

Ever since you got embarrassed on ESPN,
you've been riding all of us.

-I thought this was supposed to be fun.
-W-Was it fun losin' every week?

Was that fun?

It was more fun than this.

Hey, if you're not having fun,
you're welcome to ride the bench. Okay?

So you're just gonna bench the whole team
then? What is your problem?

I am here trying to make this work!

[breathes deeply]

You're only here 'cause you got suspended.

Okay, guys, that's halftime.

Ooh, no, no, my bad. We got another five…
Seven minutes. Another seven minutes.

That's okay. Let's just…
Let's… let's go now.

[marching band plays]

Fourth down!

[indistinct shouting]

[grunting]

[crowd gasps]

[commentator] And Connor Payton
goes down hard.

No gain on the fourth down.

And the Porcupines will take over
at their own 35-yard line.

Hey, you remember
what you told me that night?

You said you didn't want
a whistle around your neck

because you didn't think
Connor would like it.

Yeah.

I know you don't wanna be right.

[tense music plays]

[Sean] Hey, you two.

You guys take a break.

Nate, Jason, get back in
on defense. Let's go.

[Jason] We're playing
in the championship game, Nate.

-This is awesome!
-[Nate] I know. I'm terrified!

["Fortunate Son"
by Creedence Clearwater Revival plays]

[commentator] We are deep
in this fourth quarter.

This next field goal should put it
out of reach for the Warriors.

♪ Some folks are born
Made to wave the flag… ♪

[commentator] There's the snap.
The hold. The kick.

The question is, are they ready?

All right!

All right, hey, hey, hey! Come here.
Listen, trips right, red seven.

Field goal unit.

What?

You realize that's just gonna tie.

Yeah. That's right. Harlan.
Harlan. Come on. Get in here.

Hey, hey, I thought

Yeah, that's what I'm doin'.

[uplifting music plays]

Are you sure, Dad?

Yeah. Last game of the season.
Everybody plays.

Come on. Get in there. Get in there.

[Jason] All right, boys.
Let's do our field goal.

I can't believe it.

Sean Payton, down three,
has decided to go for the tie

with a field goal kicker
that hasn't made one all season.

Wow.

[tense music plays]

Come on, let's go. Let's make this happen.

[tense music continues]

Let's go, Harlan!

[marching band continue playing]

[boy] Hut.

Snap is back. The ball is down.

[marching band continues playing]

The kick is up.

It's goin'.

It's goin' wide.

It's goin' very wide.

Oh my goodness. It's still goin'.

Hey, listen, I wanted to thank you.
You've taught me so much this season.

You really did.

You keep coaching like this,
I promise you,

you're gonna earn yourself one of these.
Try it on. [chuckles]

Oh, wait. You gotta see this.

Isn't it beautiful?
That's his little head poking out.

Wow. He… he looks just like you.

Your wife might not appreciate you
showing that picture to a lot of people.

Oh crap.

[Sean] Gotta say I was really impressed
with your speed this season.

-Guessing you get that from your old man.
-[Connor] Oh, definitely not.

I think I get that from Mom.

[chuckles] I get the soft hands from
Jamie. He makes his own lavender soap.

[laughing] Of course he does.

Hey, I wanted to thank you.

For what?

[Sean] Well, I wanted you to know that

I-I needed you and the…

and the team more than you guys needed me.

Yeah, you did.

I was talking to your mom.

Thought maybe you comin' out
to New Orleans for some visits this year.

-What do you think of that?
-For sure.

-Okay.
-That'd be really fun. I'd love that.

-All right.

Can I go to games?

That's what you're coming out there for.
You're not stayin' in my house!

We'll have some fun.

-[Sean] I love you, Connor.

[uplifting music plays]

I'm gonna need a scouting report

And RB is Russell brouts?

No, a running back,
and that's not how you say that vegetable.

Oh. A-And we get
these scouting reports from…

[Sean] The scouting department.

Wow! You're a lot more patient with me
after working with kids for a year.

Yeah. Enjoy it while it lasts, Emma.

-Lionel!
