00:10 >> Yes, it is.

00:21 Yeah, I don't know if I can lie about that.

00:23 Yeah, no, it is.

00:25 But it's cool to see, honestly.

00:27 I mean, see a team, see how it's transformed themselves over the past couple years.

00:31 And I know some dudes over there, and they're loving the culture over there and

00:35 what they got going.

00:36 So you look at it as they're one of the top teams in the NFL right now.

00:40 And it's a good opportunity for us to go out this week and

00:44 finally stack two wins in a row here and kind of get some bets.

00:48 You kind of look at that model and obviously you wanna follow that trajectory and

00:53 you get it going.

00:53 And they kind of had a rough start to their season last year and

00:57 they really got clicking towards the end of the year.

00:58 And it's grown into this year as well.

01:00 So yeah, you definitely look at that type of stuff.

01:04 But our mindset kind of what they've shown so far, it's a really good team and

01:09 a good opportunity for us.

01:10 I think, well, I go back to last game and I know we didn't put up a lot of points and

01:16 we wanna score more points throughout the game.

01:17 But I go back to the situational stuff that we were really good at at the end of

01:21 half and at the end of game.

01:23 Something that we haven't done a lot of in the past year or so.

01:26 So kind of continue doing more of those things.

01:29 And then you look at other areas, it really just comes down to us.

01:33 Like we're a top ten team in third down, we're a top ten team in red zone.

01:37 We're a top five team when it comes to rushing the football.

01:39 So you look at those three metrics, you would kind of chalk it up as though you're

01:44 a playoff team if you look at those stats.

01:46 But what's been killing us is ourselves with the penalties and turnovers.

01:51 Those are the two things.

01:51 So I think just kinda getting those things cleared up and

01:54 I think we'll like the result.
