Thank you Shannon that’s right the head coach of the Green Bay Packers the Victorious Green Bay Packers joins us now Matt congratulations what’s the feeling right now what was the locker room like oh it was they’re excited uh certainly you know welld deserved our guys have continued to stick together and battle

Through some adversity and um you know it was a a great atmosphere tonight A great win obviously the the Rivalry in itself uh certainly made it a little bit more difficult than we would like to had a couple miscues that really could have cost us um most notably the one at the

End of the half not coming away with any points there um but I thought all in all just a complete Game by by really all three phases let’s begin at the beginning the guy that has been front and center this whole period of getting better and better and better Jordan love

Couple touchdown passes a quarterback rating of 128 plus another outstanding night for young Jordan love yeah he just continues to do it and uh you know he’s got guys out there that are making plays for him which always helps I think our offensive line is doing an outstanding

Job in pass protection there’s not too many times he’s getting you know um you know pressured and which is a lot easier on a quarterback but the times that there are he seems to find a way out of it so uh he is playing outstanding football he’s definitely established

Himself I think in this league for years to come and he’ll continue to grind and and put in the work cuz that’s what it’s going to take to stay there 111 yards rushing for Aaron Jones did he run with heart and desire or what tonight and that’s that’s the

Number one rushing defense in the league I’m told yeah um we knew they they’re a good defense I think they’ve done an outstanding job but you can see the Improvement that that they made uh but you know I think the story of the game was our ability to hold the ball and and

Control the game uh on offense it was crazy that we only had 17 points and didn’t punt one time I know we had the the costly turnover and obviously the the U Gaff at the end of the half but I thought all in all our offense kind of

Controlled the game once again your young receivers came to play Jaden Reed davien Wicks all Bo Melton all making big plays for you yeah all those guys uh some some critical plays um you know taking hits catching the football and they they’ve shown so much growth throughout the course of the Season uh

You know they just got they got great Poise they love to compete and they push each other to get better what do you think of your defensive effort tonight I think anytime you hold somebody to under 10 points that’s a pretty solid effort so our defense obviously did a great job

Keeping them out of the end zone we had some timely sacks that really uh you know hurt Chicago’s opportunities to to score points whether it’s kicking field goals or whatever and so I thought um all in all that’s that was pretty good defense 75 yards allowed when it comes

To the running game for the Bears I mean that’s a team that wants to run the ball and runs it pretty well yeah I thought I mean our defense played great they played outstanding um played physical a physical brand you could see that on the

First play of the game um all the way through so that was a playoff type atmosphere a playoff type game and uh hopefully that will you know serve us well moving forward now you being the head coach of the group Green Bay Packers who have qualified for the

Playoffs do you know anything about the playoffs does League office get in touch with you uh we don’t know anything right now uh hopefully sooner or later we’ll we’ll know I do know that we’re we’re going to play Dallas against a um an outstanding football team and one that

Uh you know we haven’t seen this year but uh you know just some of the crossover tape I think it’s obviously a very well coached team with a lot of superstars two and5 to nine and eight in a spot in a playoffs you just have to be awfully proud of everybody involved the

Guys your coaching staff yourself yeah for for just this once which you can be proud of yourself no it’s yeah it’s a credit to everybody just kind of sticking together there were some rough moments obviously um you know early in the season where things weren’t just clicking very well um and but we

Weathered the storm and that’s that’s life of the National Football League I think you see the competitive balance across the board is unlike any other league and uh you just got to you got to be resilient you got to keep swinging and that’s what our guys have done
