00:00 We did say and we told everyone as we were waiting for the coin toss,
00:03 I review everyone with to make sure they're sure before we go out.
00:05 So we asked position coach to do that but
00:08 I didn't cover it in a meeting on the Super Bowl week.
00:10 I don't think that changes anything.
00:13 We did it with our analytics department.
00:15 We decided that going into the playoffs.
00:16 What, I think you guys know how I've explained how I make decisions with that
00:20 stuff in the past.
00:21 I take all the information I can get, especially ones I haven't been in.
00:25 And our analytics felt that was the best way to go.
00:28 But as you guys know, I don't always just go with that.
00:30 I take into account what they say, what they think is right.
00:33 And then I go off my gut in the heat of battle and
00:36 I knew what they felt going into it.
00:37 And when I think about that during the moments I have to make the decision,
00:41 I think the type of game it was, did match what they felt was the best way to do.
00:45 It did seem more like a field goal game.
00:48 And our defense had been out there for a real long time right before that.
00:51 So I didn't feel at all to override that at the time.
