00:06 When you look at how this season's gone and how you've performed now in the post

00:09 season playing pretty clean, is this kind of how you envision playing the quarterback

00:13 position at its peak?

00:14 And what has it meant for you to kind of captain the ship of this offense?

00:17 >> Yeah, it's been fun.

00:18 It's been a great year up to this point.

00:20 We've got hopefully two more to win.

00:23 But yeah, we've done a great job and the line's getting me up right and

00:27 getting some throws and our receivers have played great, our running backs have played

00:30 great.

00:31 So yeah, I think the quarterback is often a product of what's around him.

00:36 And obviously I've got a lot of confidence in myself, but

00:40 I got a lot of great players around me who have helped me out this year and

00:43 made things easier.

00:44 >> When you get to this point in the year,

00:45 it should be the most selfless version of football that you can play.

00:48 It's all about the team at this point.

00:50 The stats don't matter.

00:51 No one cares about how many catches I had in the Super Bowl or

00:54 how many catches I had in the NFC Championship.

00:56 All they care about is the fact that we won those games.

00:59 And the play doesn't care who makes it is a mantra that we carried for

01:03 a long time, especially this time of year.

01:05 Because it doesn't matter if it's Sane or it doesn't matter if it's Sam, David.

01:09 Whoever has the opportunity to make the play has gotta go out there and make it.

01:13 Whether that's offense, defense, or special teams.

01:15 And if there's anything I can help the guys with, I will.

01:17 >> What have you thought of this team from afar watching them all season?

01:20 >> Yeah, I've loved watching them.

01:21 Obviously, it's a hungry group.

01:22 They play with a lot of confidence, a lot of swagger.

01:24 And they play football the right way, physically.

01:26 They wanna impose their will.

01:28 Amazing, amazing all line.

01:30 Skill position guys are really good.

01:31 Sam's obviously got a heck of a start to his career.

01:34 So I've been a fan from afar.
