00:00 >> Yeah, absolutely, and one of our main things was belief.
00:04 And honestly, I take this game kind of personal.
00:06 Didn't get a lot of my job done today, but at the end of the day,
00:11 you gotta go back and fix your mistakes, but a win's a win.
00:13 I believe now everybody else around me, offense and defense, got the job done.
00:17 So that's all that matters.
00:18 >> Why didn't you take this person?
00:21 >> Cuz I felt like I didn't get my job done.
00:22 It could have been a lot cleaner in the back end, but it's one of those things
00:27 you wanna take responsibility in it and get fixing the tape.
00:31 >> Where did you find the resolve to get the interception there before 40?
00:35 >> Like I said, belief.
00:36 I played with my eyes and then had everybody on the sideline kind of bleed,
00:40 like tell me, just shake everything off.
00:42 Just go back out there and just play.
00:44 >> They hadn't made many mistakes up until that point.
00:46 Was it one of those moments where you're kind of just waiting for one and
00:48 hoping they'll make it?
00:49 >> Yeah, we were just waiting to capitalize on the opportunity.
00:52 And the opportunity came and you gotta make a play on the ball,
00:56 especially at that crucial point in the game.
00:58 >> Did you feel any sense of redemption?
01:00 >> Yeah, it's just one of those things where I was just reading his eyes.
01:03 I saw that he was just looking backside pretty hard and
01:06 I was just, we gotta make a play.
01:09 So I tried it and luckily it came up pretty good.
01:12 >> Did you feel any sense of redemption to make a play like that after you said?
01:16 >> Yeah, for sure.
01:17 It's one of those, bring back a little confidence.
01:19 But I get at the end of the day, I think about my mistakes more than anything else.
01:24 >> So many moving pieces there.
