There are probably bigger picture questions for you today,
but on that fourth and two, early in the fourth,
was there any question in your mind that you guys would go there,
given some of the issues you guys have had with fourth down
and where you guys were in the game?
No, going into this game, we were going to be aggressive.
I don't know.
We're not going to live in the past.
We're going to worry about the present and the future.
I mean, when we ran the play before,
we knew what we were going to do on four.
So we were giving ourselves a couple shots
at the end zone, and it paid off for us.
I mean, I think if we don't score that, the game may look different.
But credit to our head coach.
Like on fades, you know, you obviously really had a lot of success.
Just was that a route that was really there for you today?
Is that a ball you really feel comfortable?
Why did you guys have so much success there
and go to it in such key moments?
We got really good receivers.
We got really good receivers that can
track the football and make plays.
Anyways.
I wouldn't say it was planned.
It was more just part of our game plan.
But our quarterback coach, every Wednesday we always work on those.
And, I mean, credit to him.
It's, you know, the little details that make the big difference.
And, you know, Corey making the release he did
and then being able to have awareness where he was at.
And then JJ.
J.J. just winning at the line.
It's fine.
I just.
I told J.J. I owe him because if you go look
at the first drive on the second down, I missed him.
So I owe J.J. and, yeah, it worked out.
