Bears’ ground game, takeaways fuel late heroics | 1920 Football Drive

Bears’ ground game, takeaways fuel late heroics | 1920 Football Drive

Everything’s right in front of us. We’re exactly where we want to be. When you have that belief, you know that you’re never out. Just takes one little spark to get us going to the right track again. [Music] [Music] Rested. Recharged, ready, the Bears return to Halis Hall after the buy. Focused on the commanders and building on the foundation they’ve set. Big opponent at hand. This is a good team. When you watch their tape, what stands out is their play style more than anything. And it’s all three phases. And I know our guys are recharged and ready to go. They were chomping at the bit here this morning. So, we’ll have our work cut out for us. You know, if you’re a football fan, this game has something for everybody. There’s the revenge factor. There’s the emotion factor. There’s the one and two pick and quarterback in the same year. There’s a new head coach and Ben Johnson. There’s so many elements to this game. I can’t wait to see it. The rain is coming down. I can’t even tell which direction. It’s like a smidge board of directions. And I think an ugly game like this, you got to be able to take control of the trenches. And I think whichever team has command of that aspect of the game will be victorious tonight. It’s going to take everything we got tonight, fellas. Everything, man. All three phases, fellas. Let’s go. Win on three. 1 2 3. Mindset was to come out strong, fast. We was going against a great opponent over there in Washington. So, we knew we had to be in our P and Q’s for four quarters. Every time we come to DC, we turn up, bro. Let’s get it. Now, let’s get to Jake Moody. Jake Moody hasn’t played since week one. San Francisco had two misses. They let him go. Bears bring him to the practice squad and he replaces the injured Kairo Santos tonight. Yeah, I mean he’s kicking on the biggest stage just like Theo Benedet is playing left tackle on the biggest stage. [Music] Jake Moody first kick with Chicago is drilled and a nice start. Make sure we talking, bro. Me and you running. Three receivers left. Jaden Daniels looking left now throws and he under threw it and it’s intercepted. Jaquan Brisker 10 and the 15 and the 20. What they talking about? You said they out there. You said they out there. Well played by Chicago Ball out. And it’s another takeaway. Chicago ball. [Music] Caleb going to keep it himself for the pylon. He’s in for the touchdown. Caleb Williams. We’re just getting started, Joe. Let’s keep going. 13-7 Bears have the lead after one half here in Landover, Maryland. Guys was just flying around. Everybody was doing their jobs. Uh O line up front. They deserve all the credit. We can’t do anything without them. We go as they move. Got a lot of guys, you know, ranging from rookies to older vets. and special to see that everyone working together, you know, building together and it really is a team effort. Ben has done a great job of making it really clear what’s necessary to win. And our execution and and kind of the finer details of some of the plays has gotten a lot better and will change a play from maybe being 2 or 3 yards to 8 9 10 yards and lead to more explosives. I think that’s a big part of us, the mindset to have that smashmouth football that’s, you know, in our blood. That’s us as a team. That’s what our culture is and so we got to capitalize. Caleb from center looking to throw with time. He’s got his man on the crusher. Adun 35 to the 40 over the middle. It’s Burton. Luther Barton makes a move after the catch. It’s in off. Here’s Swift. Hits it hard into the secondary at the 41. Here is Manungi on a screen blocking in front. Second half things have changed and it is now 2416 Washington. They stay very grounded, very stoic throughout it all. When you have that belief, you know that you’re never out. Just takes one little spark from any of the three phases to get us going on the right track again. Still a one-sore game. Football at the 45 yd line. Bears territory. Just putting it away. Just putting it away. That was my mindset. I found a crease. I was going to try to end it. Snap back. Sugar rush and a throw to the left is caught by Swift. Sidelines and he gets away from a tackle away at the 30. Angles middle 15 10. Goodbye DeAndre Swift. The touchdown catch and run 55 big ones. He was huge. I mean that’s the best the most efficient we’ve ran the ball all year. You know really felt an attitude with him. He did a great job finding a little crease and stepping on the gas as we tal about. played a physical style. I think it’s who I really thought he was going to be going into the season is we’re we’re looking for guys that can elevate the people around him and he did that here tonight. You know, to kind of get off to a fast start, have a little bit of rough patch kind of in the middle of the game and then be able to finish it off strong. I think that was an important, you know, character builder for our whole entire football team. Takes the snap. Daniels pumps in trouble. Down he goes. They dropped him. Nowhere to go. And it’s Gerban Dexter along with Dominique Robinson. That’s what we’re continuing to develop here is the character of our football team. We’re getting to be more of a tough, gritty group that really believes that if we give ourselves a chance to win in the fourth quarter, you know, we’re going to come through. Let’s get the ball back. Hey, be alert QB run game right here. Third down and one. Ball’s on the ground. We got it. We got it. And it’s recovered by Nan Wright. And that is takeaway number three for this Chicago defense. Yeah. 26. Hands up play, boy. Hands up play. But we needed that bad. We needed that bad, bro. That was a big turnover. Big turning point in the game. So for us to have an opportunity as a offense to go make something happen and put us in field position for Moody to go ahead and finish it off was was great. The take and the toss right. Swift with Darnell out in front. Springs it free inside the 20. First down. Swift. Darnell right out in front on the sweep. That’s a hell of a play call. That’s a hell of a call. This is going to come down to the right foot of Jake Moody. His first day on the active roster as a Chicago Bear. All right, baby. Come on. Come on, Moody. You got it. D Scott Dailyy sent it back. Spot down. Kick up. Jake Moody from 38. And let’s go. Time expires. And the Bears win their third in a row for the first time in five seasons. [Music] Monday Night Football, man. Nothing better, man. We just keep stacking dubs. That’s all we doing. Stacking dubs. [Music] On a short week, every moment matters. The Bears stay locked in and ready to rise at home against the Saints with one mission in mind. Take the ball away. You got to live it. You got to breathe it. You got to practice it every single day. We talk about it in the meetings. We have a a hunger and a thirst to go get the ball on the practice field and then it shows up in the game. And when you practice that way and you see the results of it in the game, then that just breeds the confidence that, you know, you’re going to have more and more opportunities. And I think our guys are really enjoying that challenge of how many takeaways can we get in each and every game. It is an emphasis. We start every week of practice with some type of takeaway drill. Getting everyone to the ball is such a huge part of this game on how takeaways happen to whether it’s a D line and getting out of the stack when the pass is thrown and then next thing you know he’s knocking the ball out. You just never know when that play is going to come. And I think we do a really good job of making that a point of emphasis of just making sure that if there’s a play that to be made on the ball, like anyone can go make it. After earning back-to-back road wins for the first time since 2020, Bears back home looking to extend their winning streak to four for the first time since late 2018. [Music] Winds quiet now. Rain fell for much of the morning. It seems to be dissipating and this will no doubt impact the game some form or fashion. Hey, listen. They don’t want to play with us today. Physicality and toughness, coach. Let’s go get us four in a row. Four in a row. Four in a row. Hey, win on three. Win on three. 1 2 3. Yeah, you got me. Perfect. Spencer Rattler in at quarterback and he takes the snap. looks left now patrolling now in big trouble with the eyeball comes out. He was sacked on the play trying to escape a tight pocket and it’s Bears football sack strip. Bears take over. How you feeling? Hurry up. Bears are blitzing. Gordon coming after and he’s going to bring him down. Down he goes. Tyler Gordon and the nickel blitz. Brisker’s coming on the blitz. Hits him in the chest. Gobles him up. Down he goes. Backto back defensive back sacks. That a boy Dennis Allen. Stay aggressive. [Music] Throw interception. Wright picks it up and runs inside the Saints 25. Bears just keep taking it away. Job. Job. Job D. Hey, stay focused. Stay focused. Stay focused. When you emphasize something, you normally get it. That whole staff has done that. Players have embraced it. They’re very ball conscious. We’re turning them into big plays with the returns as well and setting up good field position for the offense. And so, it’s not luck. It’s it’s by design. Hey, that’s two. Got two. We need two more. We need two more turnovers. Give me four in the game. Swift cut back. Hops into the end zone. Touchdown Chicago. leaning on the ground game to punch it in for six in threatening position. Back to throw. Stunt picked up. Rattler to Chimera. Brutally smacked down to the ground at the 24 yd line. [Music] Hey, huddle up. Huddle up. Huddle up. Many to the end zone and there’s his first NFL touchdown. This offensive line is really starting to get into a groove with what Ben Johnson is teaching him in the run game. Those turnovers are big for us. Those turnovers are, you know, big momentum switch. It also allows us to be able to separate from teams when the defense creates, you know, that momentum. When they have those turnovers and things like that, it gives us many chances to put up as many points as possible. You got to capitalize. I want the ball back. We get the ball back, we’re going. Just so you know, they’re in two down territory here at the ice. First and 10 from the 40. There is a fake and a step up and run for Rattler. Now he’s directing traffic, looking for the deep off. Bears have intercepted him on a deep throw. He sailed it and playing center field. Switching the football for the interception. [Applause] One more. We’re always looking to take the ball away four times. It starts with the mindset. And we truly believe that whether they’re running the ball or throwing the ball, every single play is a takeaway opportunity. Once you start thinking takeaways, takeaway, takeaways become second nature. Cal’s been great in terms of developing that culture and that mindset of taking the football away and making everything about the ball. And you see it come to life with our players. Confidence is born from demonstrated ability and our guys are confident that they have the ability to take the ball away cuz they’ve proven they can do it. Going to roll to the right. Chimera got bumped up in coverage. Tipped up in the air. Intercepted. Termaine Edmonds on the tip by Edwards. Bears take it away for a fourth time today. their third interception and Edwards on the tip. I wouldn’t have made that play if TJ wouldn’t got his hand on it or, you know, deflected the ball and, you know, I was just able to, you know, locate it and make a play. DA’s put a lot of people in position to make plays, whether it may be bliss, whether it may be calls that he call and guys are figuring out ways within the defense to put theirself in position to make those plays. You know what I mean? When your number is called and opportunity presents itself, you know, guys are coming out with the ball. A lot of positive emotions and the competitive part of the game is what you play for. Guys are hungry to make plays. Job D. [Music] Keep it going. If we go back out there, we going to get five. Keep it rolling. 12 12. Victory. Victory. Victory. Lead it as much as you can. It’s a victory formation, baby. And a knee for Caleb Williams. Bears win again at Soldier Field. Buddy. Best of luck the rest of the way. You too, man. See you. We really needed that to keep our momentum going. Speaks volumes to our locker room. I think they’ve done a tremendous job of believing in what we’re trying to get done as a coaching staff. That was a great feeling. You know, obviously that was an important game, you know, for me individually and yet they’re all important. It was another win. It was number four for us. But I think just the feeling of, you know, being in that locker room and being able to celebrate with those guys and how excited those guys were about getting the win. I think that’s what’s most gratifying to me. [Applause] Never let it rain. Get better. You better get back. Better get back. Hands on three. 1 2 3. After the win against the Saints, Kevin Byer traded takeaways for candy, taking his kids trick-or-treating at Halis Hall. It says trickor treat. Trick or treat. Oh. Whoa. All right. Make sure you make sure you’re leaving stuff for other people, too. Don’t take all the candy. My kids had so much fun at the Halloween party. It’s It’s always super meaningful just to spend any time that I can with them because obviously with the season, we spend so much time up here at work and in the building. Hey, what what does Mario say, Kevin? Mama. [Music] Y’all want to do the hay ride next? We got monsters. [Music] We got monsters. How’s it going? Hey, how’s it going? Hey, y’all got some candy? Anytime they come to Hollis Hall, ready for training camp, whatever it may be, they’re always excited to come to Daddy’s job. But obviously to come in, get a bunch of candy, see the other kids, see all the fun stuff that they had walking down, grabbing the candy. They just had a good time and uh they was really, really excited. Look, you say bye. You wave by. Ellie, you want to wave bye? Unfortunately, we got breaking news on this quick edition here as the Chicago Bears have placed Kyler Gordon and Braxton Jones on IR. All right, let’s talk about the health of the club. Um, secondary banged up. Guys are going to miss today. What are you looking at in terms of personnel there? Yeah, it’s next man up. You know, it’s the coaching cliche that you always talk about, and we’ve had a number of guys in our back end that have played significant snaps this year, and we we’re counting on him to come through for us again. That former Raven, Devin Duivere, the return man. Pole opens up. Duivere is tripped up with a flag down as he crosses the 35 yd line. An injury right out of the gate for Chicago. Dominique Robinson. Hutley on the G for Derek Henry. emerging for a gain of four. And down goes Shamar Turner for Chicago. He’s the rookie out of Texas A&M. You, you know, you had Cole KT that missed the game. You got Tyreek Stevenson. I’m starting to be concerned about the injuries that are mounting up. Yeah, the injuries to our team has been tough, especially on the defensive side of the ball. We’ve had injuries to the secondary. You know, starting with Jayla Johnson earlier at the beginning of the season, then Kyler Gordon’s missed some time. But not only just to our position group, but to other position groups as well. It’s been tough. Um, but we all know in this business it’s a part of it. Injuries are part of the business and we’re always preaching the next man up mentality. You know, that’s life for the league. You know what I mean? It’s always that next man up mentality. Um, definitely, you know, want the guys to get healthy. That’s that’s not out there. But, you know, the guys that are playing, you know, you know, definitely, you know, proud of them and I know they’ll continue to flourish. Henry deep in the eye with Ricard snap giving. Bears steamroll him and then he bounces right to the five to the end zone. Touchdown and that is a back breaker. 30-6. You know, nobody pointed the finger. Nobody was discouraged. It was more so just let’s lock in. Let’s correct the things we got to correct. You know, obviously you look at yourself in the mirror and say what I could have done better and just show out next week and come out and, you know, get try to get the win. the Ravens was a tough loss, but I do think just going into the locker room at the end of that game. Uh then obviously on Monday morning, I think just the leaders on the team just kind of took it personal that uh we weren’t able to finish that game and uh just trying to make sure that we was going to keep everybody together and understand that we’re still a really good team. It was just all about regrouping and and coming back strong the next week. After a hard-fought battle in Baltimore, the Bears return to work. Behind the scenes, the equipment and logistics team is already preparing for the next game in Cincinnati. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. The best thing you can say about any of those aspects that happen when you travel is as a coach, I never really have to worry about anything. You know, there’s so many things that go on behind the scenes that I don’t think people realize. Having our, you know, hotel key cards ready, having schedules. Exactly. Having the room set up and, you know, the equipment does a great job of having everything ready. No issues during the game. Going through looking. So far, there’s food we’ll have to send back to get repainted. You can kind of see where we painted earlier, but those got scuffed even more. So, when it come back, it look all brand new. So, we’re good to go. So, it’s going to look perfect. We just try to start at least a a week in advance. We try to look at the weather and just say, “Hey, what are we going to be dealing with when we play the game on that Sunday?” We’ll meet as a collective group to make sure we have everything. Everybody will go over their checklist and if something I feel like is not on the checklist, we’ll all collaborate and ask questions. So, we’ll work with Tony Medlin all week. They have the checklist and the weight for every piece of equipment going on the plane. We have to get that to United, make sure the weight’s right, make sure everything’s distributed properly. Really, it’s constant communication throughout the whole prep phase, the week of as well to make sure everything’s safe, but also as efficient as possible. So, when we get off the plane, we’ll unload the items that we brought on, you know, maybe the helmetron or player travel bags and our team will go to the stadium. and they’ll have everything pretty much unpacked in place with the weather forecast. We know the weather could be a little cool, could be rainy, but we’ll make sure everything’s in their lock or whatever we think they may need. So, when we walk into the locker room, everything’s pretty much set. [Music] Jay’s our boots on the ground guy, so he will be in the away city Friday morning for a Sunday game. So, right now we’re counting all the lockers, make sure we have the correct count so that equipment crew knows how many lockers they have. So, I’ll put together this guide with the pictures and the diagrams, and we’ll send that to all of our staff and our coaches. That way, they’re as prepared ahead of time as they possibly can be. Coach sets his schedule for a reason. We want to make sure we stay on that. Jay will be checking every single sleeping room, making sure that’s ready. The last thing we want is a player to walk into the room and it’s slept in from the night before. From the sleeping rooms to the meeting space, making sure everything’s set up from the projectors to the temperatures at the meeting rooms to make sure their meeting space at the hotel room is exactly the same as what they have here at Halis Hall. If you think back to Coach Johnson’s u first day on the job when he was speaking to all the staff, he mentioned to everybody, you know, nothing’s more important than servicing the guys in that locker room, making sure they have everything they need. And that’s kind of the mindset that we live by is, you know, those guys, the coaches, players, all them. They come first so that they can focus on their job tomorrow of going out and winning a football game. Everything we do is for the players and coaches. So everything we want to do, we want to do it as perfect as possible. Make sure everything’s seamless. Nothing’s interrupting their flow from the plane to the buses to the hotels. When we’re traveling on the road and playing on the road, it’s a huge operation with dozens, if not hundreds of people. And, you know, it’s just credit to them. We’re the face of this huge, you know, iceberg beneath us of people that have helped us and supported us. To me, it’s just like you love what you do. You just love being just, you know, just historical organization. You just, it just it gives me chills just to be part of. I’m so honored. [Applause] We welcome you to Por Stadium nestled along the Ohio River. For some fans, they get the views of the water in Northern Kentucky. There you go. There you go. Yay. For have a good day, baby. It’s week nine and the 4 and3 Bears meet the three and five Bengals. A lot of teams this time of year, you know, you’re kind of you’re pushing to stay alive and and so this is a big game for them. It’s a big game for us as well. [Music] DJ more orbit motion behind Caleb. Fakes the toss to him. Now he’s going to throw back to DJ Moore at the 30 to the 25. Blockers in front. 25 20 15 10 and down near the nine. Takes the snap. Going to flip it to Adun. Back the other way to DJ Moore. Toss wide open. Right corner of the end zone. Touchdown Caleb Williams. Touchdown Bears. So, some ingenuity out of the playbook of head coach Ben Johnson. Being able to call it, you know, this week and, you know, get it right, make it look good was important for coach and us. And so, uh, we made it happen. It was a great play for us. Kyle Manungai as he gets set to make his first NFL start and really carry the load for the running game. Pitch play. But Nangai finds the edge. Beautiful running, finding his way into that crease. Having our young guys step up is is huge. You know, we drafted them here for a reason. And us having a day like that, uh, only provides confidence for the offense, um, but also, you know, defense, special teams that, you know, when one side is down or, you know, when we all come together, it’s going to, you know, it’s going to be real pretty. What an impressive first half from Manungai, the rookie. Seventh round pick in his first career start. Takes the snap. Fourman rush. Caleb zips it over the middle. Touchdown. Touchdown. Love. Touchdown Bears. Emma Bears reclaim the lead. T. Higgins caught the ball and he’s running into the end zone and the Bengals have taken the lead. Here’s Brown with ahead of State. 15-10 running to the end zone. Touchdown. Touchdown Bears. Takes the snap. Good pressure comes and down he goes. Austin Booker. Ball out. Bears have taken it away. Nice block to midfield to the 45. 40 of the Bengals. Cut back 35. Away at the 30 25 20 and stumbles down inside the 15. DJ Moore blocked by Lovelin to the 10. Five. Touchdown DJ Moore. Back to throw. Flaco scanning throws short intercepted by Termaine Edmonds. Stepped in front. Yeah, that was the probably the most exhilarating roller coaster I’ve ever rode uh since I’ve been in the league. I was up and down the whole game, especially, you know, towards those last I think five minutes of the game. Well, it’s not over yet. A snap is back to Joe Flacco. Pressure coming in by Hardy. Throws into the end zone for the touchdown. No offense had a beautiful throw in coverage and pressure from Daniel Hardy on the other end. Blackco end zone. It is caught. Higgins two-point try makes it a six-point game. Yeah, I mean emotions in the Bengals game was all over the place. It’s going to be sometimes when you know things don’t go your way, sometimes things do go your way, but you know that was just a game full of emotions and we still got 143 left. But it all means you got to get the onside kick. You know, you go from having a lead, then you go from, you know, the onside kick, then you go from all these other different things that probably didn’t think would happen in the final minute of the fourth. Here is the onside kick. It’s rolling around and hit hard. It’s covered up. And I think this could be trouble. Benles have recovered the onside kick. The lead changes was crazy. There was so many different things that was happening. Admittedly, I was kind of upset towards the end of the game cuz we gave it the touchdown. As a defense, we wanted to finish the game. Single receiver to left safeties are back corners off. Flaco takes throws post. End zone. Touchdown Cincinnati. Andre Yoshivas uncovered back in the end zone and the Bengals have the lead 4241. the seventh lead change of the day in this wild roller coaster ride at Por Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. I think our emotions even started from the very first play to be honest. You know, they opened up and, you know, took the kickoff and turn back to the house. But I think that’s just that’s the league, you know what I mean? Like you can’t get high, you can’t get low. Like you got to, you know, stay afloat and uh you got to keep your head down. You got to keep working and then you go out there and figure out a way to win the game. being here last year, you know, we were in a lot of one-score games last year and the majority of those games, you know, we didn’t come out on top and I think that’s the biggest difference this year is those one-sore games. We have the belief as a team that we can come out on top and win those games. I think I I think I ran off the sideline and told Ben uh game time and there is 50 seconds left for Superman to put his cape on. His nickname in college, Caleb Williams, can do what Joe Flacco has done many times in his career and lead this team to a victory. When it comes to those moments, it’s time to go win the game. I think that’s what I live for. Middle of the field. Love the catch. Breaks away the 30. Love the 20. Love the 10. Love end zone. Touchdown Bears. Goston Lovelin on a throw by Caleb Williams on the blitz with 17 seconds to go and the Bears reclaim the lead. 4742. It’s a 58 yd strike to the Michigan rookie and his second touchdown today. He outran the Bengals. Now they’re bringing more than that as Black getting moved off his spot. Rolling right going to heave it. I don’t know if it has enough. It doesn’t. It’s short. Intercepted. Nan Wright beat first slide. Got to land it. And what a game this has been. The Bears somehow someway find a way after giving up the lead in the final minute of the game. Use their own magic. Caleb Williams. A game-winning touchdown throw to Colton Lovelin. 4742. Bears with a win and a fade to black here in Cincinnati. The number of fourth quarter comebacks that we’ve had, it’s really uh speaks volumes to our locker room. When you have that belief, you know that you’re never out. And and they’ve been able to handle the waves of ups and downs. Uh they stay very grounded, very stoic throughout it all. And certainly a great building block for us as we’re going year one here of this next chapter of Bears football. No matter who we play, you can never let your guard down. Everybody’s good in this league. You know, you’re always going to have a challenge each and every week. So, it’s really about your approach throughout the week. And that gives you the confidence to go into the game day on Sunday to attack and to play fast and you know to have that confidence that now we’re gonna win. This is going to be a huge game for us where obviously back home at Soldier Field. He want to be able to continue that home dominance that we’ve been showing throughout this year. Exciting challenge. Jackson Darts kind of ignited that city a little bit with the way he plays. We’re going to go out there and try to get a tough win against a team that really the record doesn’t really show how talented that team really is. 613 left. Not much room for air left for Chicago. Down two scores. Snap is back. Caleb in trouble with Tibido but evades and then help from Benedict. Wings it over the middle. It’s caught by Lovelin. Keeps their hopes alive with an 18 yd gain on third and long. Second and 10 under five left. Williams zips one for Odun. First down to the 32. Odun against Phillips. Game’s not over until clock hits zero. We’re a full 60-minute team. Snap to Caleb Williams. Good protection. He goes left now. A free runner, but he’s running as well. To the 20, to the 15, 10, five. Gets down near the one. Caleb goes to work with four minutes to go in the game. Shotgun snap. Little shrug throwing short end zone. Touchdown. Touchdown Bears. Roma. Hey, you about to go win this game for him. We’re going to stop. Come on. Stop. Let’s go. Let’s get a stop, coach. Let’s go do it ourselves. Let’s go do it ourselves. Bears line up the line of scrimmage. Four defensive backs back. Low snap. Russell under pressure. CJ Gardner Johnson down. He goes sacked. CJ Johnson with his second sack today. He’s also forced a big fumble. And the Bears are going to get the ball back with 301 to go in the game. Come on. Come on. Come on. We knew it was a talented group going into it. one of the best defensive fronts we’ll probably see all all season long and yet we still found a way there with four minutes left in the game to come away with with a couple touchdowns. Just do your job. We don’t need no Let’s go. Just do your job and just throw it till you catch it and just run and protect it. Williams a deep drop. Lets it rip. He’s got Burden. Luther Burden inside the 25 and still going to the 19. 26 yds for the rookie. Motion to the right on second and eight from the 17. Kayla Williams center drags another tight end in motion. Here’s the snap of a play fake. Williams rolling to his left running now. 15 10 five end zone. Tiptoes in touchdown in the blue paint. You know what it is. Let’s go. Yeah. Yeah. I’m talking about You know what it is. Ice man. Things weren’t clicking for us on offense. We We had a hard time getting into a rhythm there against the Giants. And yet, you know, everyone kind of kept the faith and knew that at any moment that we’re an explosive offense that can score points in bunches. Caleb did a great job throughout. We didn’t play particularly as clean as we’d like to, and yet we’re able to put it all together there at the end. We have a great offense, great defense, and and great special teams and great coaches. The confidence in us, the confidence in the coaches in those moments is is there. The calmness at the end of the game, uh the belief, the faith, the hope, and like I’ve spoke about before, living in the know. And I think that’s where we were and we knew that it was going to be a full 60-minute game and that’s what it took. Our focus in the second half of the season is just to, you know, keep relying on each other. Let’s play a complete game.
