00:00Another big time performance for you.
00:07Why did you feel like you were able to be so successful tonight knowing that
00:11every defense at this point stand plan is going to revolve around taking you away?
00:16I was just getting good matches, good leverages all night.
00:21There wasn't too many double teams going on.
00:25If anything, it was probably like two or like two man.
00:33Tomorrow, how nice was it to get a break as a team at the end of that game on the block
00:38punt, kind of a bizarre play, and then to go out as a unit offensively and take advantage
00:43of it?
00:44Yeah.
00:45If we want to finish, that's exactly how we need to finish.
00:46That's a perfect example of finishing.
00:47Even though the block, the kick got blocked, we got to start there first to fix those,
00:54but we get another opportunity with the offense, we got to take advantage and finish it like
00:59we did.
01:00What was going through your mind pre-game when you, Merlin Higgins, walked into the
01:01midfield as captains tonight?
01:02I don't know.
01:03I'm just poised before that game.
01:04I'm clear-minded.
01:05Speaking of pre-game, you were wearing your 7-11 shirt.
01:07What goes into your decisions to wear the 7-11 shirts?
01:08Well, 7-11 is out here.
01:09The base location is here, so I just showed a little support.
01:10They've been looking out for me.
01:11It's as much as I could do.
01:12Zach Crowe, that touchdown pass at the end, he said day one, he installed it.
01:13He said, I'm going to do it.
01:14I'm going to do it.

04:36I'm going to do it.
04:37I'm going to do it.
04:38I'm going to do it.
04:40It's possible.
04:41It's 100% possible.
04:42You've got to play chess in that situation, but it's possible.
04:45Do you want to see on your jersey in the future?
04:48I don't mind it.
04:49I'm not going to say no.
04:52I've played a dozen top games.
04:54Everyone probably did look at me as a captain, so I wouldn't mind it.
04:57You're leading receiver in the league.
05:00You have 15 tacks.
05:02How was the defense?
05:04Were they taking away something else, or did they challenge you in a certain way?
05:09How did that happen that you had so many tacks?
05:12Zach did a good job just moving me around, getting me on good match-ups all day.
05:17The DB has been playing an awful lot.
05:22I didn't really see too much press today.
05:24And Diggs is known for jumping at the line and pressing a lot.
05:29He did to me one time today, so I just had good match-ups all day.
05:33That means you're, I guess, afraid to speak.
05:37Could be, yeah.
05:38Can you talk us through the decision to put a donut on Jim Burns' face?
05:42I was told to do that.
05:43I didn't want to do that.
05:45And then he got me back, so.
05:47Who told you to do that?
05:49I don't know.
05:50I honestly don't know.
05:51One of the Simpsons.
05:52One of the Simpsons.
05:54Yeah, I don't know, man.
05:56It was a yellow donut, so.
05:58Who let the butter smash?
05:59Huh?
06:00Who let the butter smash?
06:01I think he got the best of me.
06:02He smeared it a little too far.
06:06Jermaine, you said it was like a New Orleans play.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Same thing?
06:10Same play, same route, same exact.
06:12It just wasn't on the same part of the field.
06:14Same exact route.
06:15It was basically an out.
06:17It was the exact same play.
06:19Exact same play.
06:21Did they surprise the play off when you had that?
06:24Nah, they started our game.
06:25I was expecting it.
06:29At the end of the game, even in a joking way,
06:32did any of your teammates ask you if you should have slid?
06:35Nah.
06:36You know what's crazy?
06:37I was thinking about it.
06:39Slide, but.
06:44I was thinking about sliding, but I wanted to score.
06:46I'm not gonna lie.
06:47Going for the team record in touchdowns, receiving touchdowns,
06:49is that something you're still chasing as well?
06:51That wasn't in my mind when I was scoring.
06:53I just wanted to score.
06:55I don't even know what the record is no more.
06:5717.
06:59Yeah.
07:0015, right?
07:01Yeah.
07:02Correct.
07:03What was your dance with T after the first touchdown?
07:08Don.
07:09What was he?
07:10He's called Don.
07:11What's his role in that?
07:13He don't have a role.
07:14He tried to have one.
07:15No, no, no, no.
07:16It's just everyone's just getting assertive.
07:17Okay.
07:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:19The cameras showed, and the ESPN feature showed,
07:22your relationship with Brixton.
07:25Brixton, how, given your platform,
07:29how important is that part of what you do in being able to give back
07:33and really lift the spirits of those who look to you as their idol?
07:38Honestly, you know, in that situation, all I could do is just,
07:46I think about my grandmother in that situation because she had cancer.
07:48So, you know, I just, I see her literally her last second.
07:51So just having an opportunity to be around someone who had cancer
07:57and is going through something like that, you know,
08:00it touched my heart for me to get in touch with him
08:03and be around him and put a smile on his face
08:05and just make him laugh and be a kid.
