Honestly, it was honestly a crazy turn of events.

We, of course, come out, we turned up, we ready to go, and then we go down 21-3, and it's like, man, everybody shut the hell up.

Ain't no more talking.

Nah, ain't no more rah-rah.

Yeah, nah, ain't no more hoorah.

And I just remember Kevin Byard the whole time, he was like, man, talking ain't going to help us execute.

We need to stop talking.

doing all this and settle in.

And then really just at halftime, that was the biggest thing.

Like it can't get no worse than this.

Like, I mean, at the end of the day, it's 21-3, almost 21 blow.

But I think too, like coach showed us a video, like a whole breakdown during the, during camp of the Falcons and Patriots game when they went up 28-3 and,

wow that and just shows like the composure yeah he showed that uh that to us early so just like talking to joe tooney telling because he was on the winning side of it and then jerry was on the losing side of it so having both of them get their perspectives on it and then it really just he brought it back up like this is that moment like think back to the conversation that we had and what it took for for them to get back into it is one possession at a time defense gets stopped often start putting points on the board and that was really it so when we came out on defense it was like man we got to get stopped if we we figured if they didn't score no more then we'll win the game so

But that's all we were focused on, really, on defense, just executing and playing more aggressive.

I mean, it's hard to say the sole reason.

I think...

for one, just the timing, I would say of everything.

And the only person get credit for that is God, of course.

But I think really just the timing of when Ben got here, when Caleb got here, when a lot of these pieces all got here, I think it'd be different if he got here three, four years ago, the team looked different situation is different, but I'll definitely say his leadership, his competitiveness has definitely changed the trajectory of how we looked at approaching games.

And again, too, I mean,
