No, not at all.

I mean, like, it's part of the business.

It's part of the business.

He's been smacked up before, and honestly, he did more of the smacking in that game, but we ended up with the W. A lot of people were like, yeah, you know, you guys shut down.

You guys beat Tom Brady.

I'm like, I didn't beat Tom Brady.

Nick Foles beat Tom Brady because in that second half, we were fighting for our lives, Dave.

Listen, we felt like we had a better team.

Leading up to the game, I can remember incessantly bothering all the guys on offense and saying, how many points can you score, you think?

You know, which is not an admission that like, hey, we're going to get our doors kicked in.

But, you know, it would be nice to know, like, what's the magic number?

Because I thought that New England would probably be able to score a little bit on us.

You know, there's no good matchup for Gronk.

It helped, certainly, when I think Malcolm Jenkins knocked Brandon Cooks out of the game.

And that wasn't like a dirty play or an intentional thing.

It just was a football play and knocked him out of the game.

And I think from there, it was like once we got to the half, you knew they were going to come out of the half with some heat.

And they did, and it was hard to get stops.

But...

We're even luckier for just taking the risks we did in the first half, and that was the way we played.
