00:00 >> Yeah, Russ, I was just gonna ask if you could describe from your vantage point
00:04 on that touchdown pass to Troutman.
00:07 >> Yeah, we did a good job getting down there.
00:10 This is not that defense.
00:12 I think they're number one in the league and in red zone defense, but
00:16 also to not really letting teams even get down there at all.
00:19 I don't think they've had many red zone appearances,
00:21 just because of how good their defense is.
00:23 We got down there five times, we were three of the five.
00:25 We could have capitalized on a couple more.
00:27 But I thought that coach made a great call.
00:31 First of all, we scrambled around the line, did a tremendous job protecting,
00:33 giving enough time to just kind of scramble and step up, slide,
00:37 kind of backpedal, kind of move right again.
00:40 And I think the guys did a really good job of scram.
00:42 I thought Troutman did a tremendous job of getting his knee down.
00:45 You get a knee down, it's considered two feet.
00:48 And so, it was a heck of a catch.
00:50 Soon as I threw it, I knew he was gonna catch it.
00:52 And we just believed that was gonna be a touchdown.
00:54 And tremendous, tremendous play by him and
00:57 a great effort by the offensive line, giving enough time.
01:00 Yeah, I think first of all, we're resilient.
01:02 I think the best part about us is we've been resilient for all these games.
01:05 We've played some really great teams.
01:07 There's some top echelon teams, obviously in the AFC, Kansas City.
01:12 Obviously, Buffalo on the road, which is a tough environment.
01:16 And then obviously, Cleveland's been great all year,
01:19 against a great defense and everything else.
01:21 I think the best thing about us, though, is it's about us.
01:24 It's about us being together.
01:25 Our defense has been lights out.
01:27 I'm one of the best defense in the world right now.
01:29 I mean, those guys have been unbelievable.
01:31 I think Coach Vance Joseph has done a great job with those guys,
01:34 getting those guys ready every week.
01:35 And through some tough challenges, I think that any time about this game,
01:40 about professional sports, there's always adversity.
01:43 And how you handle the adversity really shows who you are and
01:46 who you can be as a team and as a player.
01:49 And I think we've handled the adversity.
01:52 And I think the reality is that we got a lot more ball to go.
01:55 We got to stay humble and hungry.
01:56 We got a lot more to do.
01:57 And we feel like we're just getting started.
01:59 And we just got to stay the course, understanding that we got to remain
02:02 neutral and just focus on one game at a time, one week at a time,
02:04 one practice at a time.
