Mike Tomlin

When you do that, you got multiple problems.

And so we chose a hill to die on, if you will, thankfully.

We didn't, although they did hit some big plays on us, particularly in possession down moments where we were

allocating the appropriate number of people.

Before we found our footing offensively, I thought our ability to get stout after those first two drives and get stops and minimize them probably more than anything on possession downs was a significant component of the game.

On offense...

I thought, you know, once we got our footing and got going, we stayed in that general direction.

Can't say enough about the two running backs.

They were impactful.

They were impactful in the run.

They were impactful in the check down game, winning one-on-one opportunities in the flat and so forth and turning short games into longer ones.

And that, quite frankly, has been a recipe for how we functioned all year, those two guys.

And

And their ability to win in the flat and win in check down like circumstances, I thought that was significant.

I thought also, as the game we're on, our third down conversion rate, and particularly our ability to win some longer ones.

We converted a third and ten, a third and nine, a third and eight, I think, all in the second half.

And I thought that those were building blocks of ball possession and scoring drives.

And certainly the efforts of Aaron Rodgers is always helpful, as we've talked a lot in these environments and circumstances.

He's just got a unique resume, a unique talent, a unique thirst for significant moments.

And I'm never surprised when he smiles in the face of adversity and delivers for us as he did on Sunday night.
