00:00 >> It's all good, I know.
00:01 >> You're getting used to it though.
00:02 >> I understand.
00:03 >> You mentioned it about Devin,
00:04 you said it was a game plan, how effective was it?
00:08 >> Yeah, yeah, great game plan, and we executed all the rounds.
00:11 So we just gotta continue to do that more, but
00:14 whenever we start some preparation, practice, and things like that,
00:17 we knew what type of game it was gonna be.
00:19 And we just came here and executed tonight.
00:20 >> You went through a stretch of six out of seven,
00:22 so what if you want to roll at the right time?
00:23 >> Yeah.
00:25 >> It's all about clicking at the right time.
00:27 I feel like those few weeks right there when we haven't lost a game,
00:31 really find out a lot about the team.
00:33 And right now, our goal is to continue to get better every week.
00:36 And like I was saying on the phone, it's playoff mode,
00:38 it's playoff game every week for us.
00:40 It's win or go home, and that's our mentality.
00:41 >> What did you find out about this group during that time?
00:44 >> That we work hard wherever there's adversity, everybody comes together and
00:49 just works hard.
00:50 I couldn't be more proud of the guys that are working together.
00:54 >> How big would it be to wrap up the division next Sunday at home against
00:56 New Orleans?
00:57 >> It'll be huge, it'll be huge.
00:59 Like I said, our goal is to come out here and play playoff football every week.
01:02 So we just gotta make sure we go ahead and take care of business.
01:05 >> What was different out there tonight for the defense?
01:07 I know you had some guys back, but it just seemed like you guys were on fire there.
01:11 >> Yeah, we were healthy.
01:13 And so we had everybody, everybody just rock and roll.
01:16 And we came out here and played like a promised.
01:19 >> Were you nervous there at all when you had to come out of the game to be
01:23 evaluated?
01:24 >> No, no, no, not nervous.
01:25 I've been there before.
01:26 So it happens to football, but I'm good.
01:29 >> You guys have been working hard all season, but
01:31 what's clicking right now to lead to all the victories?
01:34 >> You know what, I couldn't really say.
01:36 It's just, we're just coming together at the right time, that's all I can really say.
01:40 You always want that build up into the playoffs, and so
01:43 we're just clicking right now.
01:45 >> How much was the mentality during the slide when you guys were struggling?
01:48 How much was your mentality then in regards to what's going on right now?
01:51 >> Yeah, yeah, it was just kinda come to work, grind, let's get a win.
01:54 But I feel like that mode flipped once we started winning games.
01:58 Okay, the theme was playoff, we gotta win this game, we're going home.
02:01 And I feel like ever since then, it kinda just took off from there.
02:05 >> Ange, I'm sorry if I answered this earlier, but what was the energy like with
02:08 the defensive unit coming into halftime,
02:11 just posting a shutout for the first time this season in the first half?
02:14 >> Yeah, it was fun, it was great energy.
02:15 Everybody was flying around making plays, and we just gotta make sure that we
02:18 continue to have the energy for these next few games.
02:21 >> When you get an interception, a sack, and a fumble recovery,
02:25 what's that feel like throughout the course of the game,
02:27 just being involved in so many big plays?
02:30 >> Yeah, it's just doing my job.
02:32 I practice hard, I prepare hard for it, so I expect those plays out of me.
02:36 And it's just great when it actually comes to fruition.
02:39 >> What can you say about the defense, just being able to get four takeaways?
02:42 In this game, you guys are now up to 24 on the season,
02:45 which is tied for second in the league.
02:47 >> Wow, credit to the guys.
02:49 I mean, we practice hard, we work hard.
02:51 We emphasize taking the ball away cuz we know it gives the offense
02:54 more opportunities to score.
02:55 And so that's just a goal every week, to come out here and
02:57 create as many takeaways as possible.
