00:00 >> How big touchdown passes to Moore and Palmer, and
00:03 then you got the ball eventually to Chris for a touchdown, Mike.
00:06 But what does it say about those guys stepping up and
00:08 all the catches paid off in you as well?
00:10 >> Big time.
00:12 They were running a couple coverages where they were double teaming Mike and
00:14 Chris at the same time.
00:15 So those guys had a lot of one on ones and
00:17 took advantage of their opportunities.
00:19 But yeah, they played amazing, obviously.
00:22 Pretty simple plays, but they did the rest.
00:24 So it's always good as a quarterback just to be able to give it to them,
00:27 an easy throw and they did the rest.
00:29 So happy for those guys.
00:31 >> How gratifying was it for you to be able to go out there and have a moment,
00:34 like such a big moment punctuating what's already been a terrific season for
00:38 you personally and to do it against a team that beat you in the three?
00:43 >> Yeah, I said immediately after the game,
00:45 we worked extremely hard to get a chance to be in the playoffs.
00:48 And we just wanted an opportunity and our guys came out, played really,
00:52 really well, special teams, defense.
00:54 Once again, Chase is a stud, defense played lights out.
00:58 >> Yeah, and we should have had a lot more points on offense, but
01:01 we did just enough to get the win tonight.
01:03 And yeah, we're happy, but still got more to go.
01:07 >> Year one with you with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you guys won the division.
01:11 You come in here a home underdog, you take care of business.
01:13 How are you feeling right now following a big win like this and
01:16 knowing you advanced to the divisional round against the Lions next week?
01:19 >> Just proud of our guys, proud of everybody in the building to stick
01:22 together like we did the second half of the year.
01:24 And to get to this spot, just keep fighting, just stick together.
01:27 Don't listen to the outside noise, just trust the people next to you.
01:30 >> Was it easier to throw the ball physically today?
01:33 Was it easier for you to throw the ball physically today than last Sunday?
01:35 >> Felt a lot better today.
01:37 >> Eagles have- >> Take us through your injuries and
01:39 what you had to do to get ready for tonight and
01:41 how they may or may not have affected you tonight.
01:44 >> Just a lot more rehab and treatment.
01:46 I've got an unbelievable physiotherapist that has been quiet in every week for
01:51 six years now.
01:52 So he came twice this week and we'll see him again tomorrow.
01:55 Just it's all good.
01:57 Your body is your product and
01:59 that's the one job you have to do is to get ready physically to be able to play.
02:03 So everybody in the locker room at this point of the year, it's a long season.
02:05 Everybody's fighting some sort of injury and
02:08 everybody did the best they could to prepare.
02:11 >> Eagles have a really physical front and once again,
02:14 the offensive line kind of shut everything down in the fourth quarter and dominated.
02:18 Can you speak to, again, how they're able to just come up big at the end of games?
02:22 >> I'm so proud of our big guys.
02:24 From everybody talking about what they were gonna be compared to what they
02:29 really are, just proud of those guys.
02:31 They continue to improve as the year's gone on.
02:33 They stuck together and tonight showed that.
02:36 That's not an easy front to go up against and they played really well.
02:39 >> This is one of those games where you get better,
02:42 the Eagles the second time around, now you're playing the Lions next week.
02:46 Are you, obviously you're excited to be still in the playoffs,
02:49 but to get another shot at a team that has beaten you, what does that mean?
02:53 >> Yeah, when I just immediately think back about the Lions game,
02:58 a lot of misthrows by me.
03:00 I think we had a lot of stuff there, just didn't play our best game offensively.
03:04 So we'll look back at the tape once we get into the game plan stuff, but
03:08 we're very different than we were early on in the year.
03:10 And that's something to be proud of, that we've been continuing to improve.
03:13 We have a brain in the wheel, we just stuck with it and
03:15 just gotten better at little things.
03:17 >> Trae Baker. >> You're a rookie,
03:18 can you speak to just his development over the entire year?
03:21 >> Yeah, obviously, the guy can roll.
03:25 So it just, him being able to play fast, and for rookies,
03:30 you don't wanna cloud their head with too much to learn.
03:32 But when you're able to get a guy that he learned the system and
03:36 played to his top speed, it just goes to show, and he showed tonight.
03:40 So those guys gotta be ready for their one on ones,
03:43 just cuz we have Chris and Mike.
03:44 And so everybody took care of that.
03:46 >> You guys wouldn't have been able to get to this point,
03:49 going on that run at the end of the season without having faith in each other.
03:53 Can you speak to the role that that's played, and
03:56 you guys' bounce back to pretty warm out?
03:59 >> We have a great locker room, great staff that, I mean,
04:02 just the leadership overall.
04:04 We lean on each other, we trust each other.
04:06 Just doing your job and knowing that the guy next to you is gonna do this.
04:10 And so that's accountability for yourself and for your teammates.
04:13 And it's just amazing to see the growth this team has had in the second half
