Special at all no it made me feel pretty good it was exciting I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything like that but um yeah man I love these guys took a while for you your this is be of your place yeah you know I hope so um this place is special

To me and like I just said these people are special um that’s the best home in atmosphere I’ve ever played in front of um and I expect next week to be you know on top of that or second you know and uh it it it’s it’s a special place to play

And and I’ve only been here for 3 years but to see us come from where we were to where we are now and and the fans um endure some of that um it it’s it’s special to be able to get this W for them and and for this group in our locker

Room what I’m sorry what this week was yeah you know yeah it was uh it was fine like I said earlier in the week it was kind of tracking for this match up for a while so I kind of had some time to you know get ready for you know the The Fan

Fair that would be and um I just kept going back to what what this game was about and it was about us it was not about them it was not about me it was not about my history there it wasn’t about anyone in their team or um any

Coaches it was it was about us it was about the 53 in this locker room our coaches um and this organization getting a playoff win in front of our home crowd your offensive line you give credit constantly but different level pocket today in terms of time see the field how

Critical was the blocking to your day and the off’s day yeah they were they were on their game today and um that’s not a a no slouch D line over there um anytime 99’s on the other side you got to be on your game and um they were

Today man they were they were great and uh came to play and came to win that first KNE your arms you just explain whatever going yeah it was uh it it almost it was surreal you know it was it was something that you kind of imagine for so long um

From the moment I got here you imagine getting that playoff win and and having type this type of atmosphere in front of our home crowd and um being able to sit on the ball like that and finish it out and uh yeah it kind of all hit me there

And um to be honest with you I didn’t know it was over once we got the first down and until they sent in the personnel and it kind of all hit me at once but um yeah kind of had to subdue a lot of emotions this week and um was

Able to kind of enjoy that moment you met with Tyler after the tler you beh were those emotions do you feel still feel a connection to that team a little bit of course he’s one of my best friends and um him sustaining the injury

He did is is uh is hard it’s it’s hard for me to um you know sit on the sidelines and watch that and um you know I know he’ll be just fine you know I don’t know what he’s going to you know end up doing but

Um he’ll be just fine and um I love him no it was it was like every other rep we’ve had of that play 100 million times uh it was him one-on-one with the nickel and um go in and it was it was pitch and catch and that dude’s as good as he gets

And uh I was able to put it on him and um again I wish I kind of knew that that would have sealed the game and then I would have been able to really enjoy that moment but um was it excited we got the first down then I realized the game

Was over did you find yourself at allo for Green Bay just given rations of bring a second oh sure yeah I I I wasn’t really I didn’t had no preference there if we had to go to Dallas great now we get a home game even better um but yeah

Once they got out to that early lead you’re like all right we win this game we get another one at home and um yeah we’re excited all stay there might have yeah they’re amazing man they’re amazing I’m I’m I’m very fortunate um to be playing for these people here and to be

Playing for this city and this organization and um to be able to enjoy special moments like that I don’t take it for granted um and you know things happen in weird ways and uh you know it’s been a threee roow to get to this point to enjoy that moment and um it was

It was a sweet one but but with that being said we’ve we’ve got some more games we we want to win now you’ve been known for your toughness your entire career but kind of appreciation admiration do you have for S went through this week to get out there for

You guys yeah a ton that dude’s a stud I told him that all week and uh he battled I don’t I don’t know if people quite know how badly he was hurting um throughout the week and to get himself ready to go for that game takes a lot of

Guts takes a lot of strength and courage and um he helped us today he really did and uh he’s he’s a hell of a player you have a uh yeah I told I mean told him after the game how much respect I got for him and how great of a
