1
00:00:10,218 --> 00:00:12,220
[dramatic music plays]

2
00:00:13,722 --> 00:00:16,599
[analyst 1] Big changes in Atlanta,
some say they saw it coming.

3
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:19,185
[analyst 2] It is massive news,
seismic news.

4
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:22,731
[analyst 3] Kirk Cousins has been benched
by the Atlanta Falcons.

5
00:00:24,232 --> 00:00:27,193
[analyst 4] They were not going anywhere
with that version of Kirk Cousins,

6
00:00:27,277 --> 00:00:29,112
so it was worth taking a swing.

7
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:36,703
[analyst 5] Kirk Cousins' time
with Atlanta is likely done.

8
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:40,206
[analyst 6] One of
the strangest situations

9
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:42,542
we've seen with a veteran quarterback.

10
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:45,211
[dark music playing]

11
00:00:54,179 --> 00:00:55,055
[music fades]

12
00:00:55,138 --> 00:00:58,892
[Kirk] Raheem called Tuesday evening,
and just said he wanted to connect,

13
00:00:58,975 --> 00:01:02,312
so I, uh, went in to see him,

14
00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:05,899
and he told me they were
going to make a change, and, um…

15
00:01:07,233 --> 00:01:08,526
And so that was that.

16
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:12,405
And, uh… it didn't need
to be a long conversation.

17
00:01:12,489 --> 00:01:14,741
You know, it just…
the ball was in my hands.

18
00:01:14,824 --> 00:01:15,867
And, um…

19
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,204
I… I just hadn't played

20
00:01:19,287 --> 00:01:21,831
at the standard that I expected of myself,

21
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:23,374
that he expected of me.

22
00:01:23,875 --> 00:01:27,712
And, um, in pro football, you know,
that's just the way it's going to go.

23
00:01:31,966 --> 00:01:35,345
You know, I think any time
you don't deliver, it hurts.

24
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:38,640
And it hurts… you…

25
00:01:38,723 --> 00:01:43,186
It hurts when you factor in, you know,
the other people that it affects, um…

26
00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:45,688
But you just want to deliver.

27
00:01:46,189 --> 00:01:47,941
And… And when you don't,

28
00:01:49,317 --> 00:01:50,819
it… it hurts.

29
00:01:50,902 --> 00:01:51,861
Um…

30
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:54,948
So…

31
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:59,119
I have to hold onto hope that

32
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:01,579
there's more to the story,

33
00:02:01,663 --> 00:02:04,124
that there's more up ahead,

34
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:08,336
um, that… you know, there's purpose in it.

35
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:10,088
And, um…

36
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:15,969
Just… you just kind of hold onto that
because you don't know what's coming.

37
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:19,931
And so it's just going to be
interesting to kind of see

38
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:21,933
where it all goes.

39
00:02:22,016 --> 00:02:24,936
But I think that's been
my football journey for

40
00:02:25,019 --> 00:02:26,729
almost 20 years,

41
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:30,608
where you just… you just never can tell
where things are going to go

42
00:02:31,526 --> 00:02:35,363
until you're able to look back,
and see it with the benefit of hindsight.

43
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:46,708
[indistinct chatter]

44
00:02:46,791 --> 00:02:49,252
No one loves
a Christmas puzzle more than me.

45
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:52,463
I got a two-pack, and I finished this one.

46
00:02:52,547 --> 00:02:56,259
My kids are old enough now to,
like, play amongst themselves,

47
00:02:56,342 --> 00:02:58,970
do their own Lego project,
and then I can kind of

48
00:02:59,053 --> 00:03:01,222
sit here with everybody
while working on it.

49
00:03:01,306 --> 00:03:03,308
It's great therapy, I figured out.

50
00:03:06,352 --> 00:03:07,937
It's been quite a week.

51
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:08,897
I don't…

52
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:13,443
I usually, uh, pride myself
on not riding the rollercoaster

53
00:03:13,943 --> 00:03:15,778
of the NFL season.

54
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:18,615
But I think this week got the best of me.

55
00:03:18,698 --> 00:03:21,701
[soft chuckling sigh]
This month got the best of me, really.

56
00:03:21,784 --> 00:03:25,830
I think the tough times kind of started
at the beginning of December,

57
00:03:25,914 --> 00:03:28,124
um, in my opinion,

58
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:30,335
from… from my perspective.

59
00:03:30,418 --> 00:03:32,921
Um, but Tuesday,

60
00:03:33,004 --> 00:03:35,089
after the Monday Night Football game,

61
00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:37,967
I was reading Twitter.

62
00:03:38,801 --> 00:03:43,014
And so I was seeing
a lot of the "Bench Kirk" tweets.

63
00:03:43,514 --> 00:03:44,557
Um…

64
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:46,768
and I just…

65
00:03:47,936 --> 00:03:51,064
I didn't want to tell him,
"Hey, this is all over Twitter." So…

66
00:03:51,606 --> 00:03:53,691
But I did ask him, "What do you think?"

67
00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:56,194
"Do you think they might do that to you,

68
00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:58,029
um, today or tomorrow?"

69
00:03:58,112 --> 00:04:00,823
And he's like, "I don't know, we'll see."

70
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:03,284
And so it just kinda felt
like it was looming.

71
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:08,206
Um, I was wrapping
Christmas presents on Tuesday.

72
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:09,624
And I saw his phone.

73
00:04:09,707 --> 00:04:13,086
He didn't have his phone.
I saw it lighting up in his office.

74
00:04:13,169 --> 00:04:14,462
And it was Raheem.

75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,799
And it was like 7:30 at night.

76
00:04:17,882 --> 00:04:22,011
And so I said, "Raheem's…
Raheem called you."

77
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:24,514
And he knew what that meant,
and so did I. And…

78
00:04:24,597 --> 00:04:26,391
[breathes deeply]

79
00:04:26,474 --> 00:04:27,433
Um…

80
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:29,811
He was gone for about an hour. And, uh…

81
00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:32,563
that was a really sad time. I…

82
00:04:32,647 --> 00:04:33,940
My kids…

83
00:04:34,023 --> 00:04:37,443
My kids were playing, and I was crying.
They're like, "What's wrong?"

84
00:04:37,527 --> 00:04:38,987
Trying to explain it to them.

85
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:41,322
They're like,
"Is he not on the team anymore?"

86
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:42,907
Um…

87
00:04:43,658 --> 00:04:45,910
It was just a very somber night.

88
00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:50,748
And then he came back
and sat in the garage.

89
00:04:50,832 --> 00:04:55,169
When I went out there,
he was actually calling Michael,

90
00:04:56,045 --> 00:04:57,880
which I thought was really cool.

91
00:04:57,964 --> 00:05:00,049
It's like, "Who does that?" [chuckles]

92
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:01,175
[Kirk] Hey, hey.

93
00:05:01,259 --> 00:05:02,635
[woman] Turner, look!

94
00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:04,345
-How we doing?
-[dog barking]

95
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:08,308
You just drove home from one of
the hardest conversations you've ever had,

96
00:05:08,391 --> 00:05:10,768
and you're going to call Michael

97
00:05:10,852 --> 00:05:13,021
to say, "The job is yours."

98
00:05:13,104 --> 00:05:15,148
I mean, that brings tears to my eyes.

99
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:38,338
[inhales]

100
00:05:39,714 --> 00:05:42,342
[crying] That is the kind of man he is.

101
00:05:44,927 --> 00:05:47,764
[Kirk] Fourth and goal. You better
be thinking about your best play.

102
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:49,349
Set-hut!

103
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:52,268
He wants to Moss him.

104
00:05:52,935 --> 00:05:55,104
[chuckles] You got the Drake London route.

105
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:58,649
Maybe we do too good of a job
at trying to keep our house,

106
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:00,610
you know, upbeat and optimistic.

107
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:04,322
Because both of them
were not sad for a second.

108
00:06:04,906 --> 00:06:08,993
It's complicated to say that
he's not the starting quarterback anymore.

109
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:11,287
"Mr. Michael's going to be
the quarterback now."

110
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:14,457
Turner thought surely he's not
on the football team at all anymore.

111
00:06:15,249 --> 00:06:18,127
[Kirk] He said, "Dad, it's okay
you're kicked off the team,

112
00:06:18,211 --> 00:06:22,006
because now you can spend more time
with us playing football in the basement."

113
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:26,094
And I thought, yeah, he doesn't quite
understand what we do here.

114
00:06:26,177 --> 00:06:28,888
I'd always said I want to play
long enough that my boys

115
00:06:28,971 --> 00:06:31,849
would be able to understand
what Daddy does.

116
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:35,812
And those comments reminded me
I may still need to play a little longer

117
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:38,481
for them to truly understand
what Dad does.

118
00:06:38,564 --> 00:06:39,524
[chuckles]

119
00:06:48,658 --> 00:06:50,243
Merry Christmas, people.

120
00:06:50,326 --> 00:06:52,328
[indistinct chatter]

121
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:59,085
[Tee] Do you like being on the water?

122
00:06:59,168 --> 00:07:01,921
-Not really. I don't like boats like that.
-Yeah.

123
00:07:02,004 --> 00:07:03,297
If you go on a boat,

124
00:07:04,298 --> 00:07:06,676
you're committed.
Like, you're there for hours.

125
00:07:07,343 --> 00:07:09,429
I like a boat for, like, 45 minutes,

126
00:07:09,512 --> 00:07:12,723
but then after 45 minutes,
I'm like, "Okay, like, I've seen it all."

127
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:14,725
"We're on the water. Like, I get it."

128
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:19,564
That's just what is fun about football.
You spend so much time together.

129
00:07:19,647 --> 00:07:22,608
You can't talk about football
for 12 hours every single day.

130
00:07:23,192 --> 00:07:26,070
Did you go to the little iguana island?

131
00:07:27,363 --> 00:07:28,239
They got…

132
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:31,617
Bro, at Turks, they got a whole island
that nobody can have build…

133
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:34,078
You can't build on it.
It's just for the iguanas.

134
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:36,205
There's just tons of iguanas on it.

135
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:38,958
-I'd be scared to go to that bitch.
-Fuck no, I ain't doing that shit.

136
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:40,543
Iguanas, bro?

137
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:43,671
Not like the normal… The Florida iguanas.
They're called rock iguanas.

138
00:07:43,754 --> 00:07:44,589
They big?

139
00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:46,841
Not as big as the big as the green ones.

140
00:07:46,924 --> 00:07:48,468
That's the ones on poles?

141
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:54,348
No, those are… I believe
those are frilled-necked lizards.

142
00:07:54,432 --> 00:07:55,600
They got venom in it.

143
00:07:55,683 --> 00:07:59,228
Those are venomous. Stay away from those.
Those are in Australia and shit.

144
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:00,646
Those look creepy as hell.

145
00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:02,482
Frilled-necked lizards, I believe.

146
00:08:05,276 --> 00:08:09,071
The season's about over, and I feel like
I'm just freaking getting started, baby.

147
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:10,573
[speaking indistinctly]

148
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:13,534
Take a look at the Bengals.
Did you think at the start of December,

149
00:08:13,618 --> 00:08:16,621
when the Bengals were 4-8,
they'd even be on a list like this?

150
00:08:16,704 --> 00:08:20,166
What would it take for Cincinnati
to actually make the playoffs now?

151
00:08:20,249 --> 00:08:21,834
This is the Christmas wish list

152
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:24,378
for Cincinnati Bengals fans
coming into this week.

153
00:08:24,462 --> 00:08:27,423
And what do they need now?
Bengals gotta win that huge game

154
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:29,675
against Denver next week. Bengals will…

155
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:32,929
Every game from 4-8 on was win or go home.

156
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:34,222
[energetic music playing]

157
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:38,017
[commentator] Fourth quarter upon us,
Bengals on the move, tied at ten.

158
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:41,187
-If Denver wins, they're in the playoffs.
-Turbo set-hut!

159
00:08:41,270 --> 00:08:45,358
Bengals have got to win tonight,
next week, and they need help.

160
00:08:45,441 --> 00:08:48,069
-Are you guys, like, worn out right now?
-Yeah.

161
00:08:48,152 --> 00:08:49,779
You've gotta be worn out.

162
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:51,197
-Are you?
-We are, yeah.

163
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,950
-Imagine Joe. [chuckles]
-Oh God. Yeah.

164
00:08:54,033 --> 00:08:56,077
[Joe] I love when people come to games.

165
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,414
I have pride that I do something
that people are proud of,

166
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:03,334
that they want to come and support me,

167
00:09:03,417 --> 00:09:05,711
and that also brings people together.

168
00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:10,841
Basically all my friends and coaches
from home at that one.

169
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:13,594
White-80, vice-hut!

170
00:09:13,678 --> 00:09:17,265
[commentator] Burrow…
to the end zone for the lead.

171
00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:18,516
[crowd roaring]

172
00:09:18,599 --> 00:09:20,059
-[commentator] Higgins!
-[cheering]

173
00:09:20,142 --> 00:09:22,436
They beat Moss! Touchdown!

174
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,064
What a stupid ball. What a stupid ball.

175
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:28,985
-[Tee] Can't fuckin' hold me!
-That's what I'm talking about, Tee!

176
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:30,027
Let's go, man.

177
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:33,698
[commentator 1] Bo Nix,
biggest NFL game he's played in.

178
00:09:35,491 --> 00:09:37,368
Going deep. Oh, he's got him!

179
00:09:37,451 --> 00:09:38,995
He's got Mims.

180
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:40,663
Touchdown!

181
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:45,710
Let's go win this football game.

182
00:09:46,711 --> 00:09:49,088
[commentator 2] Bengals fighting
for their lives this season.

183
00:09:49,171 --> 00:09:52,049
They have to win this game in order
to stay alive in the playoff hunt.

184
00:09:52,133 --> 00:09:53,634
Gives themself a chance.

185
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:56,137
[Joe] White-80, vice-hut!

186
00:09:56,220 --> 00:09:58,222
[inspiring music builds slowly]

187
00:10:00,182 --> 00:10:04,687
[commentator] They bring pressure.
Here goes Chase into the secondary.

188
00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:06,355
What a play.

189
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:08,107
Yeah!

190
00:10:08,190 --> 00:10:10,192
[crowd roaring]

191
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:15,906
Set-hut!

192
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:17,617
White-80, white!

193
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,453
[commentator] They push him across.
Touchdown!

194
00:10:20,536 --> 00:10:25,041
A touchdown run by Joe Burrow.
His second of the season.

195
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,418
I got up after the touchdown.

196
00:10:27,501 --> 00:10:29,879
Nobody was around me,
so I couldn't just, like,

197
00:10:30,379 --> 00:10:32,757
hug somebody or, like, spike it.

198
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,426
And then I saw Ja'Marr,
and he went like this.

199
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:37,178
Like, what are you going to do?

200
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:41,724
And so once I saw him, I was like,
"All right, I'll give it a shot."

201
00:10:43,017 --> 00:10:44,810
[commentator 1] Joe Burrow
doing the Griddy!

202
00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:48,606
[commentator 2 laughing] Griddy?
Oh, that's great.

203
00:10:48,689 --> 00:10:50,441
[exclaims] Oh!

204
00:10:50,524 --> 00:10:52,318
Oh!

205
00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:54,236
Joe Griddy!

206
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:56,739
-[laughing]
-[crowd cheering]

207
00:10:57,448 --> 00:10:58,658
Good shit, baby!

208
00:10:58,741 --> 00:11:00,409
[laughter]

209
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:02,203
[player] You hit it?

210
00:11:02,286 --> 00:11:03,829
I hit it. [chuckles]

211
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:06,415
-How'd it look?
-It looked good.

212
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:08,209
All right. All right. [laughs]

213
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:14,006
[commentator] The ball
is at the Bengal 25.

214
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:16,008
Fourteen seconds to go.

215
00:11:16,092 --> 00:11:17,968
Fourth and one for Denver.

216
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:19,345
No timeouts.

217
00:11:20,304 --> 00:11:22,682
And Nix will throw it.

218
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:23,933
It is…

219
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:26,936
It is… caught! Touchdown!

220
00:11:27,019 --> 00:11:28,312
Touchdown!

221
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:30,398
[crowd shouting]

222
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:36,153
[commentator 2] Was that ball moving?
You can see it right there.

223
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:40,449
The ball touched the ground
right there too. Look.

224
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:41,909
Right there. Right there.

225
00:11:41,992 --> 00:11:44,745
[ref] After review,
the ruling on the field stands.

226
00:11:44,829 --> 00:11:46,330
-Touchdown!
-[crowd exclaims]

227
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:50,209
[commentator] We go to overtime
between the Broncos and the Bengals.

228
00:11:50,292 --> 00:11:51,210
[Joe] On one.

229
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:53,003
C'mon, Tee.

230
00:11:53,504 --> 00:11:54,839
Tee was on fire that game.

231
00:11:55,589 --> 00:11:56,674
When Tee is out there,

232
00:11:56,757 --> 00:12:00,594
the defense, they have to worry about
multiple different things coming at them.

233
00:12:00,678 --> 00:12:02,596
They can't just focus on number one,

234
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:05,641
and cue in on him because they got
number five on the other side,

235
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:08,144
who'll make you pay
if you don't plan for him as well.

236
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:09,186
White 80, vice-hut!

237
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:11,272
[exciting music playing]

238
00:12:11,981 --> 00:12:15,901
[commentator] They bring the linebackers,
going deep. He's looking for Higgins.

239
00:12:15,985 --> 00:12:17,611
Oh, what a beauty!

240
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,823
That was a Tee game,
so I'm looking for Tee.

241
00:12:21,782 --> 00:12:24,410
[commentator] Thirty-one-yard beauty

242
00:12:24,493 --> 00:12:26,245
thrown by Burrow.

243
00:12:27,621 --> 00:12:30,541
And does Burrow have
some more magic in that arm?

244
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:34,462
The Bengals trying to win it
from the three-yard line of Denver.

245
00:12:34,545 --> 00:12:35,755
[Joe] White-80!

246
00:12:36,672 --> 00:12:37,840
Vice-hut!

247
00:12:37,923 --> 00:12:39,133
[players grunting]

248
00:12:40,634 --> 00:12:43,262
[commentator] End zone.
Caught! Higgins, touchdown!

249
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:44,513
Bengals win!

250
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:47,224
And they are alive in the playoff race!

251
00:12:47,308 --> 00:12:49,685
Yeah!

252
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:51,145
Yeah!

253
00:12:51,812 --> 00:12:53,063
Let's go, man!

254
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:55,900
The fuck are we talking about? Yeah!

255
00:12:56,525 --> 00:12:58,986
Come on, man! Let's go!

256
00:12:59,069 --> 00:13:01,071
[triumphant music playing]

257
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:03,699
-Hey, good shit!
-Let's go!

258
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,910
-Let's go!
-The greatest of all time!

259
00:13:06,410 --> 00:13:08,579
[commentator] What a game by Joe Burrow.

260
00:13:08,662 --> 00:13:12,541
Over 400 yards,
three touchdowns, no interceptions.

261
00:13:13,250 --> 00:13:15,878
You have ice in your fucking veins, bro!

262
00:13:15,961 --> 00:13:17,963
[crowd roaring]

263
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,593
Fucking go, man!

264
00:13:25,095 --> 00:13:26,514
[music fades out]

265
00:13:26,597 --> 00:13:30,100
I'll bring that one out sometimes
if I'm feeling really good. [laughs]

266
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:33,562
Yeah, baby! Whoo!

267
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:34,522
Hell yeah!

268
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:36,190
Let's go, man. Let's go!

269
00:13:36,273 --> 00:13:38,400
[excited chatter and cheers]

270
00:13:41,111 --> 00:13:42,112
Ball game!

271
00:13:42,613 --> 00:13:43,614
Tee!

272
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,407
What up, boy?

273
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:48,035
They can't hold you.
What are we talking about?

274
00:13:48,118 --> 00:13:49,995
-We know that shit.
-Love you, bro!

275
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:51,997
That's what I'm fucking talking about.

276
00:13:53,082 --> 00:13:55,459
[commentator] Burrow,
three-plus touchdown passes

277
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:59,296
and 250 passing yards
in each of his last eight games.

278
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:02,800
No quarterback
in pro football history has done it.

279
00:14:03,467 --> 00:14:07,930
[crowd chanting] MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!

280
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:09,348
[Joe] That's why you play.

281
00:14:09,974 --> 00:14:11,392
On the field is great,

282
00:14:11,475 --> 00:14:14,478
but when you walk into the locker room,
that's the special moment.

283
00:14:14,562 --> 00:14:17,189
-[Zac] Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
-[Joe] Let's fucking go.

284
00:14:17,273 --> 00:14:19,567
-[both laughing]
-[Joe] You like that one?

285
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:22,903
-Fucking believe it!
-Let's go, baby!

286
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:24,572
-Let's go!
-[Tee snarls] Ah!

287
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:27,741
[Zac] There's not a lot
of words for that one, men.

288
00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:30,619
I mean, that took everybody
in this locker room

289
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:35,082
fighting for five quarters of football
to find a way to get that win.

290
00:14:35,165 --> 00:14:38,043
Here you guys are, week 16,

291
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:40,087
okay, 16th game of the season,

292
00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:42,256
finding a way to stay alive.

293
00:14:42,339 --> 00:14:44,091
Love you guys. Appreciate you.

294
00:14:44,174 --> 00:14:47,261
-Let's go get one more. That's all I got.
-[triumphant music playing]

295
00:14:47,344 --> 00:14:49,555
I don't know that anybody
can watch Joe Burrow

296
00:14:49,638 --> 00:14:51,807
and say he's not
the best player in the world.

297
00:14:51,891 --> 00:14:54,059
I would not trade Joe Burrow

298
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:57,062
for any player… in the universe.

299
00:14:57,146 --> 00:14:58,939
That's MVP to me.

300
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:01,609
-Great job.
-Appreciate it.

301
00:15:01,692 --> 00:15:03,777
What's going on? Hello, everybody.

302
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:05,195
Hey!

303
00:15:05,696 --> 00:15:07,197
Good night, Joe. Good job, buddy.

304
00:15:07,281 --> 00:15:09,199
-MVP!
-What's up, Burrow?

305
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:11,327
-MVP!
-Great job.

306
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:14,622
I feel like we've been in, like,
six of those games this year,

307
00:15:14,705 --> 00:15:17,249
and it was the first one
we were able to pull out.

308
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:20,544
[sighs] It's nice to get it done, though.

309
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:23,756
Sit back and chill
and watch some football.

310
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:25,883
[triumphant music continues]

311
00:15:27,134 --> 00:15:28,135
Hello.

312
00:15:29,094 --> 00:15:30,471
That was impressive.

313
00:15:31,555 --> 00:15:34,516
-My goodness. Y'all don't make it easy.
-[Jimmy] Good job.

314
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,186
-Could you make it a little easier?
-[Robin] You did it.

315
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:38,520
[Joe] That would've been nice.

316
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:42,149
I think staying in touch with people
that are important to you is

317
00:15:42,232 --> 00:15:43,400
important in life.

318
00:15:43,484 --> 00:15:45,778
-Coach. Good to see you.
-What's up, brother?

319
00:15:45,861 --> 00:15:48,739
-Great game. Thanks for having us.
-What's up? Good to see you.

320
00:15:48,822 --> 00:15:53,202
It gives friends and family a reason
to come together, and see each other, and…

321
00:15:54,078 --> 00:15:55,955
laugh, joke, drink,

322
00:15:56,038 --> 00:15:57,665
whatever they want to do.

323
00:15:58,207 --> 00:15:59,500
Um, I take pride in that.

324
00:16:00,209 --> 00:16:03,879
-Why are you looking at me like that?
-I like your jacket. I got the same one.

325
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:05,965
-Do you want it?
-[laughing]

326
00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:10,678
-Good game, bro.
-No shirt under that baby?

327
00:16:10,761 --> 00:16:11,971
-Huh?
-No shirt under that?

328
00:16:12,054 --> 00:16:13,806
No shirt under that. You like that?

329
00:16:13,889 --> 00:16:15,224
That blond's good.

330
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:17,434
Is that chain mail leather right there?

331
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:20,437
You got the Ducati
in the fucking back, buddy?

332
00:16:20,521 --> 00:16:21,605
[laughter]

333
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:23,524
You did great, Joe.

334
00:16:23,607 --> 00:16:25,234
That was pretty exciting, huh?

335
00:16:25,943 --> 00:16:28,737
-That was brutal.
-I mean, that shit was crazy.

336
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:30,990
-[man] I like it. Yeah.
-[exhales]

337
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:33,409
-[Robin] Oh goodness.
-[woman] How you feeling?

338
00:16:34,785 --> 00:16:36,870
Tired and not tired at the same time.

339
00:16:36,954 --> 00:16:38,455
-[Robin] Yeah.
-[woman chuckles]

340
00:16:38,539 --> 00:16:40,165
[Robin] Energized but exhausted.

341
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:41,083
[Joe] Mm-hmm.

342
00:16:41,166 --> 00:16:42,960
[Robin] Do you have a shirt
under that jacket?

343
00:16:43,043 --> 00:16:44,211
I don't.

344
00:16:44,294 --> 00:16:45,212
[Robin] Nice.

345
00:16:45,295 --> 00:16:46,296
You like that?

346
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:48,549
-[laughter]
-[Robin] I just wondered.

347
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,138
[analyst] With the Detroit Lions
at home last night,

348
00:16:54,221 --> 00:16:57,391
dismantling the Minnesota Vikings 31-9,

349
00:16:57,474 --> 00:17:01,478
Detroit now claims the top seed,
and the bye in the NFC.

350
00:17:01,562 --> 00:17:04,440
I missed the picture
when Jah scored at the end.

351
00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:08,027
Because you were saying in the huddle
they were all going to take a picture.

352
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:11,822
He's in the huddle going, "When we score,
we're all going to take a picture."

353
00:17:11,905 --> 00:17:14,825
And I'm like, "I can't even
think about that right now. Hold on."

354
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:18,454
[Amon-Ra] When we score,
next time come watch me take a flick.

355
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:20,789
-In the end zone. Group photo.
-[Jared] Say what?

356
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:23,292
-[man] Next touchdown…
-[Amon-Ra] All y'all a flick.

357
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:24,793
[Jared] I barely heard that,

358
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:28,839
because I was like, "I'm not worried
about our touchdown celebration, dude."

359
00:17:28,922 --> 00:17:31,133
I hand it to Gibbs, and he scores.

360
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:33,552
I'm walking off the field,
I see them running there,

361
00:17:33,635 --> 00:17:36,221
and I'm like, I'm not going to be
a part of that, I guess.

362
00:17:36,305 --> 00:17:37,931
-[yelling]
-[Jared] They're little kids.

363
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:39,475
[Amon-Ra] You're an old man.

364
00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:41,351
[Christen] We're so old.
We were horizontal.

365
00:17:41,435 --> 00:17:43,896
-Jared fell asleep in the theater.
-[Brooklyn] What'd you watch?

366
00:17:43,979 --> 00:17:45,731
[Jared] Timothée Chalamet,
Bob Dylan movie.

367
00:17:45,814 --> 00:17:46,857
-Oh yeah.
-It was good.

368
00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:48,942
I fell asleep for about 15, probably.

369
00:17:49,026 --> 00:17:53,030
-Woke up and said, "What happened?"
-The seats in that theater are like… cozy.

370
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:55,657
Did you do the blue hair again this year?

371
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:58,202
-I did, actually.
-[Christen] I'm seeing a peek of blue.

372
00:17:58,285 --> 00:18:00,537
-You know, part two.
-[Christen] Can I see it?

373
00:18:00,621 --> 00:18:03,123
Yeah, of course.
It's a little darker than last year.

374
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:06,043
-[Jared] You dye it yesterday?
-[Christen] It's a really nice color.

375
00:18:06,126 --> 00:18:09,379
I can't believe we just get to, like,
watch… the games this weekend.

376
00:18:09,463 --> 00:18:11,256
-Yeah.
-[Brooklyn] We've never done that.

377
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:12,216
It's so crazy.

378
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:15,302
-How many days do you guys have off?
-[Amon-Ra] Three.

379
00:18:15,385 --> 00:18:17,679
-We have tomorrow off.
-[Amon-Ra] Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

380
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:20,224
-[Brooklyn] You have tomorrow off too?
-They, like, broke it up.

381
00:18:20,307 --> 00:18:22,726
-[Brooklyn] What'll I do with my time?
-[Christen] Literally.

382
00:18:22,810 --> 00:18:25,771
[Brooklyn] I need to, like, keep him
busy and entertained. So…

383
00:18:25,854 --> 00:18:27,272
-Good luck.
-[Brooklyn laughs]

384
00:18:27,356 --> 00:18:31,735
I know, same. I feel like they go crazy
after, like, a day of being home.

385
00:18:32,236 --> 00:18:34,530
I know. I'm running out of stuff to do.

386
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:37,866
-Already?
-[Brooklyn] You don't play video games?

387
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:40,911
I do play video games,
but that gets exhausting too.

388
00:18:40,994 --> 00:18:43,288
I can only play the same game for so long.

389
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,792
[Brooklyn] Oh my gosh.
These next few weeks are gonna be crazy.

390
00:18:46,875 --> 00:18:50,712
Crazy! It's just crazy 'cause
you don't know what's going to happen.

391
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:55,259
It's just weird to be week-to-week and…
not being able to plan anything.

392
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:57,719
But it's exciting.

393
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:59,972
All right. Cheers. Cheers to the one seed.

394
00:19:00,055 --> 00:19:01,974
-Cheers to a bye week.
-Cheers.

395
00:19:02,057 --> 00:19:04,059
-A little break. Some fun.
-Yay! Finally.

396
00:19:05,644 --> 00:19:07,813
[tense music playing]

397
00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:12,151
[analyst] Entering the final three weeks,
Atlanta is still very much alive.

398
00:19:12,234 --> 00:19:14,736
One game back in the NFC South.

399
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:18,532
So, what went into
this decision to bench Kirk Cousins?

400
00:19:18,615 --> 00:19:21,785
It goes back to the torn Achilles,
and coming back from that,

401
00:19:21,869 --> 00:19:25,164
they didn't feel like he was driving
the ball the same in September.

402
00:19:25,247 --> 00:19:28,750
That resolved itself in October,
but then in November,

403
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,502
in a game against the Saints,

404
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:34,131
he banged up his shoulder and elbow,
and he really hasn't been the same since.

405
00:19:34,214 --> 00:19:36,383
He's had a turnover issue,
lost some confidence.

406
00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:38,135
Now they'll turn to Michael Penix.

407
00:19:38,218 --> 00:19:42,264
[Kirk] Once I lost my shoulder
and my elbow, should I have sat out?

408
00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:44,850
Should I have done
something different in my rehab?

409
00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:46,768
You have all those questions. Um…

410
00:19:46,852 --> 00:19:49,897
With the information I had at the time,
I made the best decision.

411
00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:54,318
But you also know
that if you sit down week ten,

412
00:19:54,401 --> 00:19:57,446
and take two or three weeks
or more to let it heal,

413
00:19:57,529 --> 00:19:59,489
um… you may never get your job back.

414
00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:00,490
[laughs] You know?

415
00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:04,161
I remember reading Drew Brees' book
back in 2010 when he first wrote it,

416
00:20:04,244 --> 00:20:08,290
how he made the point that he tried
to never let his backup see the field,

417
00:20:08,373 --> 00:20:11,877
even if it was, you know,
somebody who was really no threat.

418
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,923
He felt like you should never do that.
That Doug Flutie taught him that. And so…

419
00:20:16,006 --> 00:20:18,884
That was something I always
was aware of, that, in this league,

420
00:20:18,967 --> 00:20:21,887
if you give someone else the chance…
if you wanna be Wally Pipp

421
00:20:21,970 --> 00:20:25,057
and there's Lou Gehrig behind you…
you know, that can happen.

422
00:20:25,140 --> 00:20:27,976
You gotta make the decision
with the information you have then.

423
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:29,436
[Rasheed] Confident?

424
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:32,940
Sure. I mean, I'm one play away, so…
I've gotta stay sharp.

425
00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:34,650
-I'm just talking to you.
-Yeah.

426
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:37,194
I want to make sure
you're okay with everything.

427
00:20:37,277 --> 00:20:39,780
-Yeah. Yeah.
-If you want to do scout team, you can.

428
00:20:39,863 --> 00:20:42,449
-I just gotta stay sharp.
-Let me know what you wanna do.

429
00:20:42,532 --> 00:20:46,036
You're good either way? I just want
to leave it to you. I'm giving you a week.

430
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,537
[both chuckling lightly]

431
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:57,965
[Kirk] CB, I'm taking
my first scout team reps here

432
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,343
in, uh… in probably ten years.

433
00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:05,597
I'm trying to think. I don't think
I've taken a scout team rep in ten years.

434
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:08,016
-But today's the day.
-That's insane.

435
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,185
We'll get some work in today, you and me.

436
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:12,271
[indistinct shouting around field]

437
00:21:12,354 --> 00:21:14,773
[Raheem] Our building rallied behind Kirk,

438
00:21:14,856 --> 00:21:17,859
and to find a way to find
those winning moments

439
00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:19,820
that we found earlier in the season,

440
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,989
but were just not able to do it.

441
00:21:22,072 --> 00:21:25,075
And, uh, ultimately,
when we played that last game,

442
00:21:25,158 --> 00:21:26,785
on that Monday night in Vegas,

443
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:29,955
that's when I had to make the change,
which is tough.

444
00:21:30,914 --> 00:21:32,082
[Kirk] There it is.

445
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:33,625
Good ball, Mike.

446
00:21:34,376 --> 00:21:36,295
Good ball. Good ball, Mike, good ball.

447
00:21:36,878 --> 00:21:37,921
Well thrown.

448
00:21:39,214 --> 00:21:42,801
To watch him go out and be able
to support our guy, be able to help him,

449
00:21:42,884 --> 00:21:46,346
um, I thought was a very special thing
that he was able to do for us.

450
00:21:48,265 --> 00:21:49,141
[Kirk] Basic.

451
00:21:49,641 --> 00:21:51,226
Yeah. Good job, Mike.

452
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:52,352
[whistle blows]

453
00:21:53,395 --> 00:21:54,563
[Kirk] Man…

454
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:56,773
Nothing wrong with that.

455
00:21:58,233 --> 00:22:01,194
It's not easy.
It hurts, you know, to go into work,

456
00:22:01,278 --> 00:22:03,363
but… you gotta be an adult.

457
00:22:03,447 --> 00:22:07,284
You know, you gotta be a grown man,
and, um… and handle it with maturity.

458
00:22:07,367 --> 00:22:10,662
I feel sorry for myself, and, um…
you know, it's hard to do,

459
00:22:10,746 --> 00:22:13,081
but that's what you gotta do and, um…

460
00:22:13,957 --> 00:22:15,709
So that's kind where my focus went.

461
00:22:15,792 --> 00:22:19,129
Hey, last time I was on scout team,
they wouldn't call us the twos.

462
00:22:19,212 --> 00:22:21,298
-They'd call us the 1-Bs.
-[laughing]

463
00:22:21,381 --> 00:22:24,009
-[Raheem] It's third and nine, all right?
-[Kirk] Third and nine.

464
00:22:24,092 --> 00:22:27,054
[Raheem] You're in short motion.
We'll just go chin shallow with cheddar.

465
00:22:27,137 --> 00:22:29,264
-You good with that?
-[Kirk] I am good with that.

466
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,850
-[Raheem] Chin shallow with cheddar.
-[Kirk] Three jet. Okay.

467
00:22:31,933 --> 00:22:34,561
All right. I got a short motion here,
so let's go, uh…

468
00:22:34,644 --> 00:22:36,313
Let's go silent quick. Ready?

469
00:22:37,272 --> 00:22:39,483
Chin shallow with cheddar. Interesting.

470
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:43,195
-All right. Birds, birds, birds.
-[player] Walk up. Walk up.

471
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,031
[Kirk] You're going to stay back. Okay.

472
00:22:46,114 --> 00:22:49,785
[Raheem] So when Kirk told me he was
gonna be the best backup QB in the NFL,

473
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:51,203
I had no doubt.

474
00:22:51,995 --> 00:22:54,956
He might've went out and put on
one of the better practices I've seen

475
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,293
when he was our scout team quarterback
the day after he was benched.

476
00:23:00,128 --> 00:23:01,463
[players shout] Yeah!

477
00:23:02,547 --> 00:23:03,840
[man] Good shot, Curtis!

478
00:23:04,674 --> 00:23:06,134
[Kirk blows raspberry]

479
00:23:06,635 --> 00:23:09,054
I literally haven't done that
in ten years.

480
00:23:09,137 --> 00:23:11,431
It's been a long time.
It was good for my soul.

481
00:23:11,515 --> 00:23:13,600
Don't want to be in the position to do it,

482
00:23:13,683 --> 00:23:16,269
but it was good for my soul
to get back to, uh,

483
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:18,230
where I was ten years ago.

484
00:23:18,313 --> 00:23:19,314
Yeah.

485
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:21,274
[tense music builds slowly]

486
00:23:21,358 --> 00:23:22,859
[Kirk] All right. Here we go.

487
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:26,488
-[steam hissing]
-[Kirk] Oh, that's loud!

488
00:23:29,449 --> 00:23:31,243
Being the guy getting reps every week,

489
00:23:31,326 --> 00:23:34,871
to go back to not getting any reps,
felt really strange going into the game.

490
00:23:34,955 --> 00:23:36,957
[tense music builds slowly]

491
00:23:39,793 --> 00:23:42,003
[Kirk] On the left side
on F counter flare.

492
00:23:42,754 --> 00:23:46,133
Grizzly seal.
F Rabbit XCB against 18-1 at six.

493
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,470
Another double A.

494
00:23:50,554 --> 00:23:52,764
[commentator] One for three on third down.

495
00:23:52,848 --> 00:23:56,059
Penix with the blitz coming.
It's picked up. He throws.

496
00:23:56,143 --> 00:23:57,185
[Kirk] There it is.

497
00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:59,396
Finds Drake London, that's a first down.

498
00:24:00,063 --> 00:24:02,065
First down and goal, Atlanta.

499
00:24:02,774 --> 00:24:05,652
McCloud in motion.
Robinson with the cut outside.

500
00:24:05,735 --> 00:24:08,697
And he will walk in
for an Atlanta touchdown.

501
00:24:11,158 --> 00:24:13,368
-[air horn blowing]
-[Kirk] Good drive, Mike!

502
00:24:14,578 --> 00:24:16,496
Good run, B! Good run! Good job!

503
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:19,833
You're so accustomed
to all this preparation

504
00:24:19,916 --> 00:24:21,835
centered around getting you ready.

505
00:24:21,918 --> 00:24:25,714
And so when you don't have that,
you sort of feel a little lost.

506
00:24:25,797 --> 00:24:27,799
[pensive music playing]

507
00:24:29,634 --> 00:24:31,511
[commentator] Atlanta's gonna be 8-7.

508
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:34,389
They beat the Giants, who fall to 2-13.

509
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:39,436
Somebody made a comment,
"Thanks for handling it the way you did."

510
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:42,063
And I said,
"Well, there's only one way to handle it."

511
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:45,066
The main focus is
don't make it about yourself.

512
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:48,487
This is about the Falcons.
This is about, you know, Michael.

513
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:50,280
And… you know,

514
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:53,283
stay out of his way
and the team's way enough.

515
00:24:53,366 --> 00:24:55,118
You know, be ready to play, but,

516
00:24:55,202 --> 00:24:57,370
um, you know, be… be a backup.

517
00:24:57,454 --> 00:24:59,206
[pensive music continues]

518
00:24:59,289 --> 00:25:00,707
[Kirk] Hey, guys. How we doing?

519
00:25:02,417 --> 00:25:05,253
-You're the QB!
-Give me your autograph!

520
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:07,506
All right.

521
00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:10,592
[commentator] Fourth and goal.

522
00:25:11,092 --> 00:25:14,179
Penix. End zone! Touchdown!

523
00:25:14,262 --> 00:25:16,181
-[Kirk] Got it. He got it.
-[shouting]

524
00:25:16,264 --> 00:25:17,933
He drilled it in there.

525
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:19,643
He drilled it in there to KP.

526
00:25:19,726 --> 00:25:21,645
-Quarters. Was it quarters?
-Yeah.

527
00:25:22,312 --> 00:25:24,606
[commentator] Third and goal from the two.

528
00:25:25,106 --> 00:25:28,443
It is Jayden Daniels. End zone! It is…

529
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,403
caught for the touchdown!

530
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:33,490
And Washington wins 30 to 24.

531
00:25:34,241 --> 00:25:37,577
For Atlanta, they fall to 8-8.

532
00:25:37,661 --> 00:25:38,995
Played your heart out, man.

533
00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:41,206
It was an unbelievable throw
on the 4th and 13.

534
00:25:41,289 --> 00:25:43,917
Played your heart out.
Great job. Many more to come.

535
00:25:46,795 --> 00:25:49,714
[commentator] The Falcons
come up short of the playoffs.

536
00:25:50,632 --> 00:25:53,843
And they come up short in week 18.

537
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:58,181
You played great today, man.
Three in a row.

538
00:25:58,265 --> 00:26:00,976
You played three great games.
You can build on it.

539
00:26:01,059 --> 00:26:01,935
Thank you.

540
00:26:02,477 --> 00:26:04,145
[Dalton] How are you doing?

541
00:26:04,229 --> 00:26:07,607
Yeah, man. It's been three weeks,
it's felt like three months.

542
00:26:07,691 --> 00:26:09,359
-Yeah.
-Oh, my goodness.

543
00:26:09,442 --> 00:26:12,946
'Cause you're going through
all the emotions, like, the initial sting…

544
00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:15,115
-[Kirk sighs heavily]
-The, like… Man…

545
00:26:15,198 --> 00:26:17,033
-Lot of regret. Lot of regret.
-Yeah.

546
00:26:17,117 --> 00:26:19,160
You played well when they benched you.

547
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:21,162
You were losing,
but you were playing well.

548
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:23,790
I was turning the ball over.
I couldn't figure it out.

549
00:26:23,873 --> 00:26:26,376
And it was just like, "Man." So…

550
00:26:26,459 --> 00:26:28,378
A lot of weight comes with all that.

551
00:26:28,461 --> 00:26:30,005
-So, uh…
-Yeah. Yeah.

552
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:34,509
Yeah, for me, the turnovers have
come in bunches at times in my career.

553
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:37,178
In Washington, I got benched
my third year, threw a bunch.

554
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:40,307
One year, I was leading the league
in picks halfway into the year.

555
00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:42,892
Then I was able to play
a lot better after the bye.

556
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:45,103
But the same thing
again happened this year.

557
00:26:45,186 --> 00:26:47,939
-It's hard too, later in your career.
-Right.

558
00:26:48,023 --> 00:26:49,482
So… and moving and everything.

559
00:26:49,566 --> 00:26:52,152
We just moved into our house,
and now we're like, "Ugh…"

560
00:26:52,235 --> 00:26:54,696
-It's hard, but it is what it is.
-[Dalton] Right.

561
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:03,038
[Brad] Congrats on
the AFC Player of the Week.

562
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:03,997
[Joe] Thanks.

563
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,291
Is that your first this year?
Heard you won one--

564
00:27:06,374 --> 00:27:09,252
I got Player of the Month,
but no Player of the Weeks.

565
00:27:09,336 --> 00:27:10,253
This year? Or…

566
00:27:10,337 --> 00:27:12,797
-You've had it before in previous years?
-Yeah.

567
00:27:19,763 --> 00:27:22,682
[reporter] Did you hear the MVP chants
when you went off the field?

568
00:27:22,766 --> 00:27:24,225
-I did.
-What were your thoughts?

569
00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:27,228
[crowd chanting] MVP! MVP! MVP!

570
00:27:27,312 --> 00:27:28,730
[Joe] I'll win one one day.

571
00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:31,191
[reporter] You feel like this year
might be the year for you?

572
00:27:31,274 --> 00:27:32,859
-I doubt it.
-[reporter] Why?

573
00:27:35,195 --> 00:27:37,489
Mm, usually, you gotta win your division.

574
00:27:37,572 --> 00:27:39,699
Is Joe Burrow the MVP?

575
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:41,785
How could he not be?

576
00:27:41,868 --> 00:27:46,831
What you're watching…
is what a franchise quarterback is.

577
00:27:46,915 --> 00:27:49,918
And if they sneak
into the playoffs this year,

578
00:27:50,001 --> 00:27:51,878
yeah, they're not a favorite,

579
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:54,547
but they're dangerous, as we've said.

580
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:57,300
[Cam] Look at him.

581
00:27:57,384 --> 00:27:58,802
[Joe laughs]

582
00:27:59,302 --> 00:28:00,470
[Cam] You good?

583
00:28:00,553 --> 00:28:01,554
[Joe] Battling.

584
00:28:01,638 --> 00:28:02,972
It's been a long year.

585
00:28:03,056 --> 00:28:05,350
All right. First slate.

586
00:28:06,851 --> 00:28:07,686
Got it?

587
00:28:07,769 --> 00:28:12,524
Burrow is one of three players all-time
to throw for 4,500 yards,

588
00:28:12,607 --> 00:28:13,983
40 passing touchdowns,

589
00:28:14,067 --> 00:28:16,861
fewer than ten interceptions
in a single season.

590
00:28:16,945 --> 00:28:18,154
Who else did that?

591
00:28:18,238 --> 00:28:19,781
Tom Brady in 2007.

592
00:28:19,864 --> 00:28:22,534
Aaron Rodgers in 2011.

593
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:24,285
They both won the MVP.

594
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:26,329
How does that make you feel, bro?

595
00:28:27,122 --> 00:28:29,791
I'm proud of the season that I've had.
You know.

596
00:28:30,750 --> 00:28:33,753
I'd love to win an MVP
at some point in my career.

597
00:28:33,837 --> 00:28:37,757
This year is probably not that year just
'cause of how the season has gone for us.

598
00:28:37,841 --> 00:28:40,218
Uh, I think I'm deserving of it, but…

599
00:28:41,761 --> 00:28:43,096
you know, that's…

600
00:28:44,931 --> 00:28:48,768
That's the MVP award, usually goes
to the quarterback of the best team…

601
00:28:48,852 --> 00:28:49,769
Yeah.

602
00:28:49,853 --> 00:28:51,730
…and that's not us this year.

603
00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:53,732
What's your approach going into this game?

604
00:28:53,815 --> 00:28:55,775
I'm just excited for the opportunity

605
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:57,318
to go out and…

606
00:28:57,402 --> 00:29:02,115
one, play in the NFL on prime time
with everything still in front of us.

607
00:29:02,198 --> 00:29:04,576
It's a big opportunity for us
in front of the world.

608
00:29:04,659 --> 00:29:06,703
We got a chance to go
and make a statement.

609
00:29:06,786 --> 00:29:08,955
We obviously need help on Sunday,

610
00:29:09,038 --> 00:29:11,833
but, you know, we can control
what we can control

611
00:29:11,916 --> 00:29:14,377
and finish our season the right way.

612
00:29:14,461 --> 00:29:17,505
And, you know, guys are excited
about that opportunity,

613
00:29:18,131 --> 00:29:19,299
myself included.

614
00:29:19,382 --> 00:29:21,551
[dramatic music playing]

615
00:29:21,634 --> 00:29:24,888
[commentator] Cincinnati, they're fighting
for the number seven seed.

616
00:29:24,971 --> 00:29:28,308
They need a win here tonight,
and a loss or tie by Miami,

617
00:29:28,391 --> 00:29:31,936
and a loss by the Denver Broncos
at home to Kansas City.

618
00:29:32,896 --> 00:29:35,023
[Joe] This is what
we fucking live for right here.

619
00:29:36,357 --> 00:29:38,943
-Feels like playoffs to me, Joe.
-Fuck yeah it does, baby.

620
00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:42,363
[commentator] Joe Burrow,
what a year he has had.

621
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:45,742
Leading the NFL in touchdown passes,
touchdown yardage.

622
00:29:46,242 --> 00:29:47,368
[grunts loudly]

623
00:29:49,037 --> 00:29:50,038
Thanks.

624
00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:55,293
[commentator] And this has looked awfully
easy against this Steelers defense.

625
00:29:56,795 --> 00:30:00,256
That's Chase,
and what a start for Cincinnati!

626
00:30:00,882 --> 00:30:02,509
It's just not even fair.

627
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:05,470
[crowd roaring]

628
00:30:06,679 --> 00:30:08,223
[players shouting]

629
00:30:08,807 --> 00:30:10,308
Good shit, number one!

630
00:30:11,142 --> 00:30:13,228
-[music fades]
-[players grunting]

631
00:30:13,311 --> 00:30:16,231
[commentator] Extra man on the rush,
and the ball is out.

632
00:30:16,314 --> 00:30:19,067
Recovered by Herbert, it's fourth down.

633
00:30:19,776 --> 00:30:22,153
[Joe] It's always tough to understand

634
00:30:23,446 --> 00:30:27,826
what is happening to you in the game
because you don't feel a lot… physically.

635
00:30:28,409 --> 00:30:29,869
[Joe grunting]

636
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:33,039
[commentator] They've gotten after
Joe Burrow pretty good, roughed him up.

637
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:37,836
Great start for Joe Burrow tonight.
Since then, pretty frustrating.

638
00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:40,421
-Guys are coming today, huh?
-Stop getting it out so quickly.

639
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:42,841
I've got to.
You guys are fucking coming. Golly.

640
00:30:42,924 --> 00:30:44,217
[clapping]

641
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:46,302
[players grunting]

642
00:30:46,386 --> 00:30:48,179
Burrow is under pressure.

643
00:30:48,721 --> 00:30:50,306
-[grunting]
-And sacked!

644
00:30:51,474 --> 00:30:54,352
Back just inside the 20 by Nick Herbig.

645
00:30:55,228 --> 00:30:58,565
Heyward had pressure too,
and now Burrow can't get up.

646
00:30:58,648 --> 00:31:00,650
[whistle blowing]

647
00:31:02,610 --> 00:31:05,864
[Joe groaning steadily]

648
00:31:05,947 --> 00:31:07,365
-What'd you get, babe?
-[Joe] Neck.

649
00:31:07,448 --> 00:31:08,324
[trainer] Neck?

650
00:31:08,408 --> 00:31:10,410
[serious music playing]

651
00:31:12,078 --> 00:31:15,164
-[Joe groaning]
-Neck. Got his neck. Got his neck.

652
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:16,457
In the back, babe?

653
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:20,628
I knew I got driven
into the ground very forcefully,

654
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:23,256
and felt my neck and jaw crunch,

655
00:31:23,339 --> 00:31:25,466
so I thought I might have broken my neck.

656
00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:28,720
But I rolled over and…
moved everything around,

657
00:31:28,803 --> 00:31:30,305
moved my neck around,

658
00:31:31,139 --> 00:31:33,516
and… felt…

659
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,684
felt okay.

660
00:31:34,767 --> 00:31:36,603
-[trainer] Here, all right?
-I'm all right.

661
00:31:36,686 --> 00:31:39,272
-[trainer] How about there? That's okay?
-It's all good.

662
00:31:39,355 --> 00:31:41,232
-[trainer] On the side here, I'm good.
-I'm good.

663
00:31:41,316 --> 00:31:43,818
Turn your head this way.
Just turn it. That's okay?

664
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:46,112
-Yeah, that's okay.
-Turn it this way for me.

665
00:31:46,195 --> 00:31:47,363
-That's okay?
-I'm okay.

666
00:31:47,447 --> 00:31:49,073
I think the crunch that I felt…

667
00:31:49,699 --> 00:31:50,617
[Joe grunts]

668
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:51,784
-[crunching]
-Oh shit.

669
00:31:51,868 --> 00:31:53,411
[lineman] Chill. Chill. Clear.

670
00:31:53,494 --> 00:31:57,290
…might have just been
my jaw getting smashed into my face.

671
00:31:58,458 --> 00:31:59,876
But I was all good.

672
00:31:59,959 --> 00:32:01,127
[Joe] Fuck.

673
00:32:01,210 --> 00:32:02,754
-[man] You good?
-[Joe] I'm good.

674
00:32:03,504 --> 00:32:05,256
-[Robin] It's tough.
-[Joe] Gimme my helmet.

675
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:08,051
[Robin] You're just worried
he's not gonna get up, but…

676
00:32:08,134 --> 00:32:10,094
-[man] All right, nine?
-…he keeps getting up.

677
00:32:10,178 --> 00:32:12,680
And you just have to

678
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:15,767
put out of your mind what could be, and…

679
00:32:16,517 --> 00:32:18,019
pray. [chuckles]

680
00:32:18,102 --> 00:32:20,146
-[ref] You all right, niner?
-Yeah, I'm good.

681
00:32:21,397 --> 00:32:25,401
Had some large humans fall
on top of me right on the old neck.

682
00:32:25,485 --> 00:32:27,570
We'll be sore tomorrow,
but we'll be all good.

683
00:32:27,654 --> 00:32:29,155
That's why you do the workouts.

684
00:32:29,238 --> 00:32:32,033
-That's why you got that big, strong neck.
-That's right.

[commentator] Bengals have to win, period.
They lose, they're out.

687
00:32:37,246 --> 00:32:39,540
They win, they need help tomorrow.

688
00:32:39,624 --> 00:32:43,294
Steelers, they need
about 24 more yards or so

689
00:32:43,378 --> 00:32:45,129
to give Boswell a chance.

690
00:32:45,713 --> 00:32:47,131
Nope, no.

691
00:32:47,215 --> 00:32:48,758
Come on, Trey, where you at?

692
00:32:49,592 --> 00:32:53,388
[commentator] Wilson is…
sacked by Hendrickson again.

693
00:32:53,471 --> 00:32:54,555
Yeah!

694
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:57,308
[commentator] Fifteen seconds left,
fourth down and 12.

695
00:32:57,392 --> 00:32:59,602
[commentator] Wilson… incomplete.

696
00:33:00,186 --> 00:33:02,563
And Cincinnati will take over.

697
00:33:03,314 --> 00:33:04,232
Let's go.

698
00:33:04,315 --> 00:33:07,902
[commentator] And a five-game winning
streak to end the year for Cincinnati.

699
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:09,237
Will it be enough?

-Let's go, 9-1. Let's go! Yes!
-Let's go! Let's go, man!

-Come on!
-[whistle blowing]

703

-That's a big fucking win right there.
-Hell yeah!

704

-That's how you fucking do it!
-Victory on one.

705
00:33:23,084 --> 00:33:26,671
[commentator] They need a Kansas City win
over Denver tomorrow,

706
00:33:26,754 --> 00:33:29,841
and a Jets win or tie against Miami.

707
00:33:29,924 --> 00:33:31,509
White-80. Vice-hut.

708
00:33:33,553 --> 00:33:34,887

00:33:35,471 --> 00:33:36,723
Good job, Patrick. Love you.

-You good? Love you too. You sure?
-All good, bro. Yep.

711
00:33:39,308 --> 00:33:41,602
Little neck crunch. It's all good, though.

712
00:33:41,686 --> 00:33:46,065
[reporter] Five consecutive wins now,
yet you still don't know if it's enough.

713
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:47,608
What's tomorrow gonna be like

714
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:51,154
watching with, you know,
your fate in someone else's hands?

715
00:33:51,237 --> 00:33:53,656
Not great,
but we put ourselves in this position.

716
00:33:53,740 --> 00:33:55,283
Nobody to blame but ourselves.

717
00:33:55,366 --> 00:33:58,703
We'll enjoy this win, watch football
tomorrow, and hope for the best.

718
00:33:58,786 --> 00:34:00,371
-[reporter] Good luck.
-Thanks.

00:34:00,455 --> 00:34:01,873
Let's fucking go, man.

720
00:34:03,166 --> 00:34:07,545
I know you guys appreciate
how hard it is to win on the road,

721
00:34:07,628 --> 00:34:11,924
in the AFC North, in prime time,
winning five in a row,

722
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:13,926
in December and January,

723
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:17,513
and all you guys did was
put yourself in a position, man,

724
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:21,517
to sit on your couch tomorrow,
watch some football, cheer like a fan,

725
00:34:21,601 --> 00:34:24,395
and pray to God we get into this thing,
'cause you deserve it.

726
00:34:24,479 --> 00:34:26,773
That's all you need to know right now.
Get a break.

727
00:34:26,856 --> 00:34:29,317
[team cheering and clapping]

728
00:34:31,319 --> 00:34:34,739
[commentator] Of course, the Bengal Nation
is watching this game very closely.

729
00:34:34,822 --> 00:34:36,115
Cincinnati won yesterday.

730
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:39,994
They need a Jet victory and a Kansas City
win and then they would be in.

731

[Joe] Anything can happen any given day.

732
00:34:42,371 --> 00:34:45,833
[commentator] Jets looking for
the end zone. Rodgers looking for 500.

733
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:48,878
-He's got it to Tyler Conklin.
-[Joe] It's frustrating, but…

734
00:34:52,215 --> 00:34:54,133
we put ourselves in this position, so…

735
00:34:56,677 --> 00:34:58,930
[commentator] Fifteen-and-one
Kansas City Chiefs.

736
00:34:59,013 --> 00:35:01,390
They will be sitting
a lot of their stars today,

737
00:35:01,474 --> 00:35:03,851
taking on a team
trying to get into the playoffs

738
00:35:03,935 --> 00:35:05,686
for the first time in years.

739
00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:09,190
[Joe] They gotta figure out
a way to get stops.

740
00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:11,442
They gotta stop
the run against these guys.

741
00:35:11,526 --> 00:35:15,446
…from the 32. They fake it to him.
They fake the end around to Franklin.

742
00:35:15,530 --> 00:35:17,990
And here they come
back to near side to Mims.

743
00:35:18,074 --> 00:35:19,700
He breaks it inside the 20,

744
00:35:19,784 --> 00:35:22,954
and he takes it home
for the Denver touchdown!

745
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,582
It's tough to win a game
without playing your starters.

746
00:35:28,417 --> 00:35:33,548
[commentator] Stepping up to the end zone,
and that ball is caught for the touchdown.

747
00:35:33,631 --> 00:35:34,841
It's Sutton again!

748
00:35:37,677 --> 00:35:39,262
[stifling laughter]

749
00:35:40,054 --> 00:35:41,764
I mean, not great.

750
00:35:42,431 --> 00:35:44,267
But there's nothing I can do about it.

751
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:48,271
All I can do is sit here and watch.

752
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:51,149
[melancholy music plays]

753
00:35:56,654 --> 00:35:59,490
[commentator] That has gotten away
from Kansas City,

754
00:35:59,574 --> 00:36:02,201
and broken the hearts
and wishes pretty early

755
00:36:02,285 --> 00:36:05,246
for the Dolphin and Bengal faithful.

756
00:36:05,746 --> 00:36:07,290
The season's a lot.

757
00:36:07,874 --> 00:36:08,958
It's very

758
00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:12,962
difficult to be that… disciplined and…

759
00:36:14,714 --> 00:36:18,217
always on edge for that long.

760
00:36:18,301 --> 00:36:20,469
I made some pretty cool plays, I thought.

761
00:36:22,054 --> 00:36:24,265
But, like, stats…

762
00:36:26,475 --> 00:36:29,270
I mean, they're great,
but they don't mean a ton.

763
00:36:32,899 --> 00:36:36,903
[commentator] Final score, Denver 38,
Kansas City nothing,

764
00:36:36,986 --> 00:36:38,779
but it's on to the postseason now.

765
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,032
It's offseason pretty much.

766
00:36:44,577 --> 00:36:46,204
Which in ways is a relief,

767
00:36:46,871 --> 00:36:49,081
and also frustrating and annoying,

768
00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:50,875
and a lot of different things.

769
00:36:51,918 --> 00:36:54,921
You didn't ultimately do
what you wanted to do, and that was…

770
00:36:55,004 --> 00:36:58,174
It's not great, but…
when you get to the offseason healthy,

771
00:36:58,257 --> 00:37:01,260
that's a… a weight off
your shoulders, I'd say.

772
00:37:01,344 --> 00:37:03,471
I've had a lot of not healthy offseasons.

The Lions have been
the best team in the league, 15 wins.

They've been building to this
under Dan Campbell,

the number one seed in the NFC.

Now, though, as the top dog,
how can they live up to the pressure?

782
00:37:32,458 --> 00:37:36,337
It feels like it's been so long since
we played a game. It's weird. I'm like…

-We all got the memo.
-We all got the blue.

Blueberries. It's blueberry night.

785

To know that we have the opportunity
to play the next two games here,

786

it's so exciting, and to get
that bye week, it just feels good.

00:39:44,048 --> 00:39:46,717
[commentator 1] Commanders
have been so good in the red zone.

836
00:39:46,801 --> 00:39:48,761
[commentator 2]
See if they can punch it in.

837
00:39:48,844 --> 00:39:52,681
[commentator 1] Second down, Robinson,
up the middle. Touchdown, Washington!

838
00:39:52,765 --> 00:39:54,100
And they're in front.

839
00:39:54,975 --> 00:39:56,394
Right in there.

840
00:39:57,019 --> 00:39:58,813
[commentator 1] The Commanders
in this game,

841
00:39:58,896 --> 00:40:01,649
they've got 173 yards of offense already.

842
00:40:02,983 --> 00:40:04,902
[Jared] Take care of it. Smart, smart.

843
00:40:05,403 --> 00:40:06,654
Smart, smart, smart.

844
00:40:07,446 --> 00:40:08,406
Turbo set!

845
00:40:09,365 --> 00:40:12,701
[commentator 1] Third and three, Goff.
Looking, going deep again.

846
00:40:12,785 --> 00:40:16,747
Tries to throw. He's got it!
What a throw and catch to Amon-Ra.

847
00:40:18,541 --> 00:40:20,835
[commentator 2] He actually
makes a perfect throw.

848
00:40:22,044 --> 00:40:24,046
St. Brown, right in his hands.

849
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:25,714
[Jared] White-80, set!

850
00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:28,759
[commentator 1] Fake, Goff, pressure.

851
00:40:28,843 --> 00:40:30,970
In trouble, throw!

852
00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:34,807
He caught it! Touchdown, LaPorta!

853
00:40:34,890 --> 00:40:35,975
[crowd roaring]

854
00:40:36,058 --> 00:40:37,268
[Christen] Let's go!

855
00:40:37,351 --> 00:40:38,853
-Whoo-hoo!
-[cheering]

856
00:40:38,936 --> 00:40:40,938
[uplifting music playing]

857
00:40:41,021 --> 00:40:42,231
Let's go!

858
00:40:42,314 --> 00:40:45,276
[commentator 2] I'm watching Goff
scramble, going, "Throw it away."

859
00:40:45,359 --> 00:40:47,695
And he's like,
"Oh no, I'm going to hold this."

860
00:40:47,778 --> 00:40:49,738
See if someone can uncover.

861
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:54,285
-Right in his face, under duress.
-[commentator 1] That was sensational.

862
00:40:59,165 --> 00:41:02,084
-Jared Goff has been surgical this year.
-[commentator 2] He sure has.

863
00:41:02,168 --> 00:41:05,129
I think all the adversity in his career
led him to this moment.

864
00:41:05,212 --> 00:41:06,630
Great fuckin' catch, buddy!

865
00:41:06,714 --> 00:41:08,507
-Great job! Yeah.
-You stay on it.

866
00:41:08,591 --> 00:41:11,302
I ain't happy till the last two minutes.

867
00:41:12,178 --> 00:41:13,053
I know.

868
00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:14,638
[music fades out]

869
00:41:14,722 --> 00:41:17,975
[commentator 1] Daniels quick throw,
far side, get it out there to McLaurin.

870
00:41:18,058 --> 00:41:19,018
Breaks through!

871
00:41:19,101 --> 00:41:20,060
You're kidding me.

872
00:41:20,144 --> 00:41:21,061
Oh shit.

873
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:23,522
[commentator 1] McLaurin is going to win!

874
00:41:23,606 --> 00:41:25,608
Touchdown, Washington!

875
00:41:27,193 --> 00:41:29,278
-They're not gonna stop us.
-Nope.

876
00:41:29,361 --> 00:41:31,864
[Christen] We haven't played
from behind that much.

877
00:41:31,947 --> 00:41:33,908
We should be, like, killing them.

878
00:41:33,991 --> 00:41:35,534
That's what's scary.

879
00:41:36,452 --> 00:41:38,120
[tense music playing]

880
00:41:38,204 --> 00:41:40,915
[commentator 2] There's just
an emotional letdown when you are

881
00:41:40,998 --> 00:41:42,708
the number one seed in the playoffs.

882
00:41:42,791 --> 00:41:45,878
You fully expected to have
a lead here in the second quarter.

883
00:41:45,961 --> 00:41:47,922
This is where you can't panic.

884
00:41:49,465 --> 00:41:52,343
[commentator 1] Goff, some pressure,
then lets it fly. High!

885
00:41:52,426 --> 00:41:55,179
It's intercepted!
Picked off by Quan Martin.

886
00:41:55,262 --> 00:41:58,432
Martin with some blocks.
Inside the 20, still going.

887
00:41:58,516 --> 00:42:01,352
-[Christen] Get him!
-[commentator 1] Martin, pick six!

888
00:42:01,435 --> 00:42:02,770
[groans angrily]

889
00:42:03,771 --> 00:42:06,315
[commentator 1] Nightmare fuel
for Lions fans right now.

890
00:42:06,398 --> 00:42:07,900
Oh my God!

891
00:42:10,486 --> 00:42:13,113
[commentator 1] It's a bad throw.
Just a bad throw.

892
00:42:13,197 --> 00:42:16,158
He just sailed it
probably two or three yards too high.

893
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:20,204
[commentator 2] He's got LaPorta
right underneath wide open.

894
00:42:20,287 --> 00:42:24,291
[commentator 1] That's just Jared trying
to take the big play over the easy play.

895
00:42:24,375 --> 00:42:26,961
The ball came out high.
I wish I could have it back.

896
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:30,673
Something that still wakes me up,
and bothers the hell out of me.

897
00:42:30,756 --> 00:42:32,466
Something I think about quite a bit.

898
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:35,844
Guy made a great play on the back end.
He was able to take it back and…

899
00:42:35,928 --> 00:42:37,304
[Jared grunts, groans]

900
00:42:38,264 --> 00:42:40,057
Um… yeah, I got smoked by Luvu.

901
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:43,143
[commentator 1] Jared Goff
got popped at the end of that play.

902
00:42:43,227 --> 00:42:44,353
Is that a legal hit?

903
00:42:45,187 --> 00:42:48,524
After the interception,
the quarterback is considered defenseless.

904
00:42:48,607 --> 00:42:51,944
You can't hit him in the head
or neck area, which Luvu did.

905
00:42:52,027 --> 00:42:56,407
So this should have been called
a 15-yard penalty from the 5-yard line.

906
00:42:57,157 --> 00:42:58,867
[grunting] Ooh…

907
00:42:59,743 --> 00:43:00,578
Yup!

908
00:43:01,787 --> 00:43:03,372
-You gotta check out.
-I'm good.

909
00:43:03,455 --> 00:43:05,165
They just called down, ATC spotter.

910
00:43:05,249 --> 00:43:07,167
-We have to bring you in.
-Where we going?

911
00:43:07,251 --> 00:43:09,795
-We're going to the tent.
-I'm good, though.

912
00:43:09,878 --> 00:43:11,964
Hey, I'm going back in, just so you know.

913
00:43:12,715 --> 00:43:14,258
Jared's not out there.

914
00:43:16,885 --> 00:43:19,221
Jared's being evaluated for a concussion.

915
00:43:20,931 --> 00:43:24,810
You're frustrated because it takes me out
for a drive, for a handful of plays.

916
00:43:24,893 --> 00:43:27,730
-How long does this take?
-[trainer] Soon as they're done, you go.

917
00:43:27,813 --> 00:43:30,899
-[Jared] How have they not watched yet?
-[trainer] They have to re-watch it.

918
00:43:30,983 --> 00:43:31,984
Our docs have to.

919
00:43:32,067 --> 00:43:35,154
He took a heck of a shot,
and I was worried.

920
00:43:35,237 --> 00:43:36,322
Y'know, I was worried.

921
00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:39,325
I mean, honestly, I was already
in the mode of get Teddy ready

922
00:43:39,408 --> 00:43:42,453
because there's a lot of guys
might not have got up from that.

923
00:43:42,536 --> 00:43:44,121
That was a hell of a hit.

924
00:43:44,204 --> 00:43:46,582
So they took him into that blue tent,

925
00:43:46,665 --> 00:43:48,584
and they do, like, a test, but…

926
00:43:48,667 --> 00:43:50,419
he came out, so that's good.

927
00:43:52,254 --> 00:43:55,132
[commentator 1] The reliance on
the backup QB is so important,

928
00:43:55,215 --> 00:43:57,676
even in this, three or four plays,
hold down the fort,

929
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,846
gain a first down until we see
if Goff can come back in the game.

930
00:44:00,929 --> 00:44:03,140
I'm like, "Oh shit,
this is the first time all year

931
00:44:03,223 --> 00:44:05,059
we've played without
Jared at quarterback."

932
00:44:07,061 --> 00:44:08,479
-[Jared] Yup
-[Dan] You sure?

933
00:44:08,562 --> 00:44:09,563
[Jared] I'm 100%.

934
00:44:10,606 --> 00:44:11,649
I'm even better now.

935
00:44:11,732 --> 00:44:14,234
-[Dan] I know you are.
-I've been hit harder than that.

936
00:44:14,318 --> 00:44:16,320
[energetic music playing]

937
00:44:17,029 --> 00:44:20,115
[commentator 1] Gibbs, little trickery.
Jameson Williams, end around.

938
00:44:20,199 --> 00:44:22,743
Williams needs a block. Gets it…

939
00:44:23,243 --> 00:44:25,120
Williams cuts back!

940
00:44:25,954 --> 00:44:27,998
Jameson Williams is gone!

941
00:44:28,082 --> 00:44:30,084
[crowd roaring]

942
00:44:31,585 --> 00:44:33,462
[commentator 1] Sixty-one yards!

943
00:44:34,588 --> 00:44:36,090
[commentator 2] This is crazy!

944
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,634
[commentator 1] This is some first half.

945
00:44:39,843 --> 00:44:40,928
-[Jared] I'm good.
-Yeah.

946
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:43,847
[commentator 2] The offensive
explosion, the back and forth.

947
00:44:43,931 --> 00:44:45,516
We got a shootout.

948
00:44:46,141 --> 00:44:48,268
[commentator 1] Daniels. Zips it in.

949
00:44:48,352 --> 00:44:51,438
-Caught by Zach Ertz. Touchdown.
-[Mark] Let's go get one.

950
00:44:51,522 --> 00:44:52,981
-[Mark] Let's get a touchdown!
-Yup!

951
00:44:53,065 --> 00:44:55,567
[commentator 2] They're called
the Cardiac Commanders because

952
00:44:55,651 --> 00:44:57,528
they've done this
to teams all season long.

953
00:44:58,070 --> 00:44:59,863
[Dan] Jayden Daniels had a hell of a year.

954
00:44:59,947 --> 00:45:02,366
We knew going into that game
he was gonna play well.

955
00:45:02,449 --> 00:45:04,576
So I think it was
another one of those games.

956
00:45:04,660 --> 00:45:06,787
Offensively, we needed to be on point.

957
00:45:07,287 --> 00:45:10,082
That was how we had to play
most of the year.

958
00:45:10,165 --> 00:45:13,711
[commentator 1] Gibbs, up the middle.
Gibbs, shoulder down.

959
00:45:13,794 --> 00:45:15,421
Touchdown Detroit.

960
00:45:15,504 --> 00:45:18,424
[Jared] You're only down three.
That was the moment we knew

961
00:45:18,507 --> 00:45:22,636
we had a good chance to come back and win,
despite what happened in the first half.

962
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:24,263
Hey! One play at a time!

963
00:45:24,346 --> 00:45:27,015
This is what we do here!
This is what we do! Let's go!

964
00:45:27,099 --> 00:45:28,142
One play at a time!

965
00:45:28,225 --> 00:45:30,227
[epic music playing]

966
00:45:31,061 --> 00:45:33,856
[commentator 2] This is
the biggest drive of their season.

967
00:45:33,939 --> 00:45:36,233
Gotta find a way
to get points on this drive.

968
00:45:36,316 --> 00:45:38,235
[suspenseful music playing]

969
00:45:41,989 --> 00:45:43,073
White-80, white set!

970
00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:47,703
[commentator 1] Look at this trickery.
Jameson Williams has it.

971
00:45:47,786 --> 00:45:50,414
Looking to throw.
Gonna throw it downfield. Intercepted!

972
00:45:51,081 --> 00:45:53,584
[Jared] No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no…

973
00:45:54,793 --> 00:45:55,794
No.

974
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,591
[commentator 1] The fourth turnover
of the day by the Lions.

975
00:46:01,091 --> 00:46:03,761
You guys, this is…
I can't believe this is happening.

976
00:46:04,261 --> 00:46:07,306
[commentator 1] Well, Ben Johnson dials up
the trick play like no one else.

977
00:46:07,389 --> 00:46:09,183
They normally work,
but that was a disaster.

978
00:46:09,266 --> 00:46:11,727
Jameson Williams throwing into a crowd,

979
00:46:11,810 --> 00:46:14,772
and now the Commanders with
a chance to put the hammer down.

980
00:46:14,855 --> 00:46:16,857
Up ten, 12 minutes to go.

981
00:46:16,940 --> 00:46:20,319
You think you're invincible,
untouchable, and right when you do,

982
00:46:20,402 --> 00:46:22,154
you get knocked down to your knees.

983
00:46:23,197 --> 00:46:25,449
[Dan] Bottom line is this.
We turned the ball over,

984
00:46:25,532 --> 00:46:27,534
and we didn't get
any takeaways on defense.

985
00:46:27,618 --> 00:46:29,328
That was the story of the game.

986
00:46:29,411 --> 00:46:31,413
You don't have the luxury
of making errors,

987
00:46:31,497 --> 00:46:33,290
and we just did on that day.

988
00:46:33,373 --> 00:46:35,626
And they capitalized on them,
and it cost us.

989
00:46:35,709 --> 00:46:37,711
[somber music playing]

990
00:46:39,087 --> 00:46:41,173
[Christen] I can't accept
this is happening.

991
00:46:41,256 --> 00:46:42,508
I don't know what to do.

992
00:46:43,008 --> 00:46:45,761
I can't-- I literally,
like, can't handle this.

993
00:46:48,222 --> 00:46:50,516
[commentator 1] Lions fans stunned.

994
00:46:51,308 --> 00:46:55,229
Best season in their franchise history,
and the Commanders have had every answer.

995
00:46:56,355 --> 00:46:57,439
No.

996
00:46:57,523 --> 00:46:59,525
[sobbing softly]

997
00:46:59,608 --> 00:47:01,610
[music fades out]

998
00:47:01,693 --> 00:47:03,695
[crowd din thrumming]

999
00:47:08,033 --> 00:47:11,703
[commentator] And Washington

Detroit Lions are headed

1003
00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:23,090
for a very, very long offseason.

1004
00:47:29,513 --> 00:47:33,141
When you're the one seed and have
the bye week, you're kind of anticipating

1005
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:35,727
making it further than…
than the divisional round.

1006
00:47:36,895 --> 00:47:39,731
-Hey, super impressive, buddy. Good job.
-Appreciate you.

1007
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:42,484
-Hey, Coach.
-Hey, man.

1008
00:47:42,568 --> 00:47:44,111
-Hell of a season.
-Appreciate you.

1009
00:47:44,194 --> 00:47:46,572
I know this stings,
but you had a hell of a season.

1010
00:47:50,993 --> 00:47:53,287
[Jared] For it to be so suddenly over,

1011
00:47:53,370 --> 00:47:57,124
you know that's how it goes every year
if you don't win the whole thing, but…

1012
00:47:57,207 --> 00:47:59,209
We were always humble but very confident,

1013
00:47:59,293 --> 00:48:01,753
and we knew we had the team
that could win it all.

1014
00:48:01,837 --> 00:48:03,547
Just came up short, and it sucks.

1015
00:48:03,630 --> 00:48:06,133
Sucks that it happened
in the first round, at home.

1016
00:48:06,216 --> 00:48:09,511
We got the bye week, the one seed,
and we had everything we wanted.

1017
00:48:09,595 --> 00:48:12,264
We just didn't get it done
when it mattered, that night,

1018
00:48:12,347 --> 00:48:13,765
and the Commanders did.

1019
00:48:15,475 --> 00:48:19,646
I just can't believe we're not going
to be here next weekend. It's just like…

1020
00:48:19,730 --> 00:48:21,732
[somber music continues]

1021
00:48:25,485 --> 00:48:27,529
God, it sucks so bad.

1022
00:48:29,907 --> 00:48:32,117
[Jared] Sucks, sucks.
Worst part of this job.

1023
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,828
And you hate it when
you feel like you let guys down,

1024
00:48:34,912 --> 00:48:38,832
and I'm so painfully disappointed
and sorry to our fans.

1025
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:40,459
And… it's a humbling game.

1026
00:48:40,542 --> 00:48:43,295
We were on the top of the world
after that Minnesota game,

1027
00:48:43,378 --> 00:48:47,799
and it's hard standing here right now
and trying to, uh… process it all.

1028
00:48:47,883 --> 00:48:51,136
Had I played better, do we win?
Possibly. You know?

1029
00:48:51,219 --> 00:48:55,057
And that's the part that'll eat me alive
for, um, the whole offseason.

1030

1031
00:49:01,063 --> 00:49:02,648

["Arrow" by The Head and the Heart plays]

1037
00:49:17,204 --> 00:49:18,622
[Kirk] I remember my rookie year,

1038
00:49:18,705 --> 00:49:21,875
Mike Shanahan made the point only one team
is happy at the end of the year.

1039
00:49:22,376 --> 00:49:25,003
And that stuck with me,
and the truth of that statement

1040
00:49:25,087 --> 00:49:27,547
became more real to me
as I've played longer

1041
00:49:27,631 --> 00:49:31,468
and realized that… it's difficult
for a season to end on a positive note

1042
00:49:31,551 --> 00:49:34,179
unless you're the one
holding up the Lombardi Trophy.

1043
00:49:34,262 --> 00:49:35,180
[song picks up]

1044
00:49:35,263 --> 00:49:37,849
[Jared] At quarterback,
you're so tied to wins and losses…

1045
00:49:37,933 --> 00:49:39,101
Great seeing you. Thanks.

1046
00:49:39,184 --> 00:49:41,478
…and only one guy can be happy
at the end of the year,

1047
00:49:41,561 --> 00:49:43,313
so failure is so much more common

1048
00:49:44,982 --> 00:49:46,233
than success.

1049
00:49:47,943 --> 00:49:50,862
It is challenging,
and it is the hard part of our job, and…

1050
00:49:52,030 --> 00:49:54,950
But you wouldn't trade it for the world.
It's the greatest job in the world.

1051
00:49:55,033 --> 00:49:57,995
We're so lucky to be able to do it
in front of the fans we have,

1052
00:49:58,078 --> 00:49:59,121

joining us here at NFL Honors.

1057
00:50:08,505 --> 00:50:10,674
Hello, Joe Burrow. How you doing tonight?

1058
00:50:10,757 --> 00:50:12,467
-Ooh, you're wearing Alo.
-I am.

1059

-I got some planets down here, I think.
-That's fire. Yo, that is different.

1060
00:50:16,596 --> 00:50:17,514
No one's had that.

1061
00:50:17,597 --> 00:50:20,225
-[Joe] I thought that was cool. UFOs.
-That is very sick.

1062
00:50:20,308 --> 00:50:22,477
Honestly, don't nobody dress
better than Joe Burrow.

1063
00:50:22,561 --> 00:50:25,939
Yeah, you gotta get me
and Joe Burrow, man. Come on.

1064
00:50:26,023 --> 00:50:29,693
NFL Honors is the awards show for the NFL.

1065
00:50:29,776 --> 00:50:32,654
It's basically the Oscars
for football players.

1066

I got you, bro.

1067
00:50:34,823 --> 00:50:37,367
[Joe] When we went
to the Super Bowl in 2021…

1068
00:50:37,451 --> 00:50:38,326
Thanks, everybody.

1069
00:50:38,410 --> 00:50:40,078
I won Comeback Player of the Year…

1070
00:50:40,162 --> 00:50:41,496
I'm excited for this weekend.

1071
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:43,498
[Joe] …not going
to an awards show like that

1072
00:50:43,582 --> 00:50:47,210
and getting ready to play
is obviously much more satisfying

1073
00:50:47,294 --> 00:50:50,088

but you're trying to have fun.

Kirk Cousins, $10,000,000 bonus.

that I make plans and God laughs.

I gotta let the owner handle it.

to give ourselves a chance to win?"
