What does it do to a team at home, a shout out at the goal line, in terms of deflating a team?
I don't know what to do for them, but I know for us, it just gives us that confidence. I mean, gives us momentum and some energy. It was a great stop. Shout out to the D-line and everybody just doing their job, playing our brand of football.
Did you feel the air go out of the stadium a little bit?
I mean, I was too hype, so I really wasn't paying attention, just celebrating with my guys, man. That was about it.
What does it mean when the offense then goes 99 yards for a touchdown?
It means a lot, we're putting up points, we're winning. So to see that, and like I said shout out to the D line. It starts down in the trenches with them, and Elijah (Molden) made a great play, and I came in and just cleaned it up.
That was a nine-minute drive. Does that feel like an eternity for you guys?
Oh, it does. I mean, I looked up at it at some point. I was like, 'Damn, like, they're still in the third quarter?" I mean we rested and got the guys the ball back and they do what they do with it.
It kind of reminded me of the two-point conversion stop at Denver last year, that key play.
Yeah, a little bit.
When something like that, a momentum-changing play like that happens, what do you think it did for the offense?
Oh man, I'm pretty sure that gave them a lot of momentum, gave them some energy, and I know for a defense, I mean, that's six points off the board, three points off board, however you want to slice it up, we took points off the board. So that's just a great play, man. And like I said, give a shout out to the guys in the trenches.
You see him running at you in practice, but what kind of load would it be to bring down Justin Herbert at full speed?
Listen, Justin (Herbert) is my teammate, I love him to death. I accept those type of challenges, so I think I'm the wrong person to ask that question to.
