00:07 Yeah, very seriously, and I think they're a whole lot better than the record shows.

00:10 They've been banged up a little bit throughout the year and

00:12 getting their quarterback back now.

00:14 And I've done some really good things on defense, so we'll have our hands full.

00:17 I think you just know you're gonna need points.

00:18 I don't think you change how you're playing or anything.

00:21 I think about halftime, when they scored pretty quickly there before half to tie

00:26 it up, I believe, is right after that is when you go, okay,

00:30 we may need a few more touchdown drives here.

00:33 And yeah, they were able to do some good things offensively, but so are we.

00:37 >> You slipped to the second half of the season,

00:40 is that when it starts to feel like a division race,

00:42 especially with Minnesota now losing?

00:44 >> Yeah, it always will be, and they're a good team.

00:48 And again, Chicago, I think, is a good team, and so is Green Bay.

00:50 So we've got our hands full with all three of those teams, and

00:54 this is another one for us to hopefully get a W with.

00:57 >> Everywhere I've been, the running back groups have been very supportive of each

01:00 other, and no one has had egos.

01:01 So yeah, we've all been close to trying to push each other to compete.

01:05 >> Is he any different this week, David, at all?

01:06 Is he really approaching it like any other game?

01:09 >> No, we just approach it like every game.

01:11 We're not trying to make a huge deal out of it,

01:14 cuz it's something that we could do on and on.

01:18 >> What was it like running behind that offensive line,

01:19 especially with all five guys there?

01:22 >> They are very close, and they definitely wanna prove that they take pride in getting

01:25 the running game going.

01:26 >> Offensive line is the best of the numbers prove it.

01:31 Big shout out to them.

01:34 We couldn't do what we do.

01:36 Jerry couldn't do it.

01:37 Jerry couldn't do what he does without the boys up front.

01:39 So yeah, shout out to them.
