00:06 I thought it was longer, but I think he gave so much ground,
00:08 it felt like he ran up to 30.
00:10 That was, you know, obviously a huge play,
00:12 and that's, you know, guys, you hear, and they did it to us.
00:15 You know, those guys that can make plays with their legs,
00:18 it's tough, it's tough, man,
00:19 and, you know, to have a guy like that back there
00:22 and be able to do that and extend plays,
00:26 you know, it's invaluable.
00:27 All three phases, as always,
00:30 we can clean things up on all three phases,
00:33 but all three phases did things,
00:35 made enough plays in there to win the game,
00:38 and, you know, that's just what I told them.
00:41 It was complimentary football.
00:42 I thought we did some things situationally
00:44 that were extremely smart.
00:45 Our guys executed those.
00:47 That's what it takes to beat a playoff-caliber team,
00:49 so hats off to those guys.
00:51 Obviously, one coming back, you know, made plays with his legs,
00:56 made plays with his arm.
00:58 The last two minutes there, you know,
01:00 I know the line of game there for a field goal
01:03 where we're comfortable, and he said,
01:05 "I'm going to get it all the way down there,"
01:06 and that's what he did, so obviously a jolt of energy
01:09 and belief within our team.
01:11 That's why he is who he is.
01:13 Couldn't be happier for the guy, and I'm Houston.
01:18 That's how he is.
01:20 He doesn't ride the emotional roller coaster, which I love.
01:22 I try not to.
01:23 I'm probably a little more emotional than he is,
01:24 but, yeah, that's --
01:27 if he -- you know, he believes that if you give him the ball,
01:31 he's going to win the game, so there it is.
01:34 Honestly, I didn't have any expectation.
01:36 Like I told you guys all week,
01:37 I was just happy that the guy was back
01:39 because I know what he went through to get back to this
01:41 point, less than a year from, you know, a major injury
01:45 and the play at the level that he played today,
01:47 and he just broke down the team and says,
01:49 "You know, I got to be better."
01:50 There was a lot of meat on that bone from the offensive side,
01:53 and that's what he'll continue to do,
01:54 strive to get better and improve every day.
01:57 He assured me going into the game, "Let me ride, man."
02:05 Okay.
