Ben Johnson

You would have to talk to him about his mindset.

We had a really good exit interview, and he's a player that I felt really helped us get to the point to where we were this year.

We had an opportunity there a couple games away from the Super Bowl, so I thought he was a huge contributor to getting us there.

Well, I mean, our identity that we outlined that we wanted to show on tape, I thought that came through.

And we have it up in the team room.

The words on a wall are one thing, but bringing it to life is another thing.

And I thought those guys did that.

The number one thing was physicality.

I thought we were a physical unit on tape that always starts in the trenches with your big guys.

But I really think your little guys on the perimeter, they really helped define that.

I thought we had receivers that were selfless.

They were willing to block.

For their buddies, I thought we had DBs that were willing to tackle.

I thought that showed up these last two games in particular.

Really proud of that.

So physicality was the number one thing that we hang our hat on.

Number two is being sound, playing sound football, being fundamentally sound.

and being schematically sound.

And I thought that showed up week in and week out.

We still can get better in some areas.
