00:00How has it been managing the Razor's edge in this the last month and a half where you

00:10didn't know you'd be secure in the playoff until now with as thin as things got being

00:14down at one point to three receivers being down three line and being on the road at Iowa

00:18in the rain all.

00:19What has it been like to not just experience on game days but for six, seven weeks you've

00:24had no market for error?

00:25Yeah, I mean, ultimately, it's always felt the same way.

00:29You win, you take care of, it's up to you and it's good being in charge, being in control

00:33of your destiny and if you don't win, you have no excuses.

00:37There's nobody here complaining about what the situation is.

00:41Go win.

00:42Ultimately, that's what the team that gets the opportunity to play in the playoffs, that's

00:45the way it's supposed to work.

00:46The team that earned it and went out there and played and won games, that's what you have

00:50to do to get there.

00:50It's not supposed to be easy.

00:51It's supposed to be hard and the whole season matters.

00:54It seems like, obviously, the playoff spectrum has changed a lot over the last couple years

01:00where it was always about the team that played the most consistent throughout the whole year

01:04got that opportunity and now it's changed a little bit.

01:06You can have some hiccups.

01:07We had one.

01:08We learned a lot from it.

01:10But you don't get second, third, fourth tries and we knew that.

01:14So we had to play a certain way to make sure that we have that opportunity and the guys

01:17wanted to make sure we did that on the field.

01:24We learned a lot from it.
