I think about D'Amico Ryans when I watched their tape and how he played the game and a tip of the cap to him.

I think that Houston, Texas played collectively the way that he did.

They're tough and smart.

They play and play to win.

They play with emotion, as I mentioned.

And so, man, really excited.

Don't take home playoff games for granted.

Certainly don't take home Monday night playoff games for granted.

Man, it's an honor to be in this position, excited about it, but position excited about it.

But I and we show respect to that by training with an edge and preparing with great urgency.

And I'm looking forward to a full week of doing so with our collective.

Certainly awesome to have DK back, but we're not going to exhale and think that DK automatically with his presence is going to be a difference or the difference.

Football is the ultimate team game.

It's going to require great effort from all parties involved, but certainly excited about doing it with him.

I'll pause and open it up for questions.

You know, I just think sometimes when you're lacking significant players, it's opportunities for others to show what they're capable of and to accelerate growth and development and cohesion in other areas.

Adam Thielen, for example, is a new acquisition for us and he made some significant plays for us.

in recent weeks, and that cohesion has probably been accelerated.

Scotty Miller is a guy that's always ready to make plays for us.

He's not always given an opportunity, but certainly in the two years that he's been here, man, he's been a credible playmaker when called upon.
