00:00Yeah, I mean, I don't think I could have write a cooler script for myself, but obviously
00:13that kick at home against Green Bay bothered us, you know, just how we finished that game.
00:19I feel like they got us on a play that you can argue whatever it was, we didn't like
00:25it how it was done to us, and it was a taste that was in my mouth for weeks leading up
00:32to this, and I got on my knees, my wife and my mom this week, and I prayed to have a moment
00:39to kick a game-winning field goal.
00:41I specifically prayed for that, and I don't want to push religion or anybody, but it's
00:47glory to God in my perspective to have that happen, and everything that I've gone through
00:53the last weeks following up to that, I think it gave me strength, you know, everything
00:58to be ready for a moment like this, so I was super confident, just so happy that DJ was
01:05able to get that catch and kind of bounce back from the play that I'm sure he was upset
01:11about.
01:12The wind was flying better the other direction, McManus and I were hitting longer field goals
01:17that way, coming up short towards that tunnel, but once I saw myself making I think a 53
01:25that way in warm-ups, I knew I had that and a few more in a situation where the adrenaline
01:31was going to take over like it does on a game-winning, so once we got into a 51, I just worried about
01:39putting the ball through.
