00:02 - One and five at one time,
00:04 now five and five with a four game winning streak
00:07 and they're just pulling these games out
00:09 with Russell finding Courtland Sutton in the final minute.
00:13 - Yeah, so a couple of things here.
00:14 So if you wanna know how they turned their season around,
00:17 it was two things.
00:19 And I heard you on the segment before talking about it,
00:22 we could expand on that.
00:23 When you lose 70, when you give up 70 points, right?
00:27 And you lose by 50.
00:29 As a coach, you couldn't be more embarrassed.
00:32 Like this is, there's nothing you can do.
00:34 It's like if you're with the Lions with their own 16,
00:36 that's on your record,
00:37 even if you want to Super Bowl with another team,
00:39 you can't get rid of that own 16.
00:41 No one is gonna forget about the 70 points
00:43 their defense gave up,
00:44 but they're gonna remember this team
00:46 if they make the playoffs.
00:47 And now there are only one game
00:49 out of actually the six or seven spot
00:51 in the AFC for the wildcard.
00:52 And yeah, they turned the defense around
00:55 'cause they had to, it couldn't get any worse.
00:56 And they played with much better discipline.
00:58 They have a really good secondary.
00:59 They've got pretty much everyone back
01:01 who've been injured, that's good.
01:03 The other thing is, Mike,
01:04 Russell Wilson's not turning the ball over, that's huge.
01:07 They're doing a good job, they're being more efficient.
01:09 And this is what Sean Payton's talked about.
01:11 Stop turning the ball over.
01:12 They're not doing that and you can win.
01:14 And they're playing efficient football now.
01:16 I would also tell you, Mike, let's be honest,
01:18 the Vikings blew that game.
01:20 Three turnovers, as amazing as Josh Jobs was last night,
01:24 the one touchdown to Josh Oliver,
01:27 the blocking tight end was amazing how he escaped.
01:30 But you can't turn the ball over.
01:31 He fumbled it three times, lost it once, had a pick.
01:35 There was another, there was a fumble.
01:37 There was another fumble.
01:38 It was a very exciting game.
01:39 I give the Vikings credit for hanging in there,
01:43 but you can't turn the ball over.
01:44 And that, but listen, they're in the NFC.
01:48 They're also hanging in it very well.
01:49 The fact that they have a game and a half lead
01:51 for the wildcard spot.
01:52 They too, Mike, it's amazing.
01:53 It's like the turnaround ball last night.
01:55 And Denver, both teams have turned their seasons around.
01:57 And the one that's even more surprising is Minnesota.
02:00 Mike, I didn't see this five game winning streak.
02:03 The defense was bad.
02:03 Brian Flores has done a great job turning around,
02:06 but the Josh Jobs story is frankly the best story
02:09 of the National Football League,
02:10 other than DeMar Hamlin being obviously clear to play.
02:12 This is right up there.
