How much did that playoff game, facing this defense once already, when you got out there tonight, how much did it feel like you weren't overwhelmed at all by the speed and whatever the Cowboys threw at you?
Yeah, I think it did help for sure. Just watching the film and just our scheme going into this game, the mindset going into this game, I just felt like it was better overall for myself.
I've played this defense before. It helped for sure, but the play calls were great. Guys made plays all around me. Defense did great, so it wasn't just me.
On the flea flicker, obviously George is wide open. Does that make it any more difficult for you, just knowing that I just can't miss this? Are those passes sometimes more difficult than the tight end does?
George did a great job. The play was great. The play was a great draw up. We were excited we got to finally call it, so it was good.
You've been in obviously a pretty good offensive group here. Any other point in your football career where you've felt this in sync with an offense that you guys can do almost anything together?
You could tell from the beginning that you were on. He almost had to resist calling too many passes, which is different for him, I think. Did you feel like you were on at the very start of this game?
He was doing a good job of calling plays where I could just take a quick drop, get the ball out, get into a rhythm. For me, I'm always willing to throw every down, but in terms of having to balance offense around the ball, it's what we have to do.
I felt good early on. I actually felt like I missed a couple throws just with B.A., some opportunity balls early on that I wish I had back. Outside of that, I got into a rhythm, and we were able to roll.
Everybody thinks it's Dallas, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and the NFC, and you just beat them by the biggest margin ever in the rivalry. What's the significance of that, dominating both sides of the ball and winning big on the scoreboard?
Honestly, we're just taking one day at a time, one game at a time. We're not trying to get caught up with what people are saying or how other teams are looking. It's a week-by-week kind of thing for us.
We've got to just keep our heads down and continue to work. It's football, man. Anything can happen. We're leaving it at that.
You were asked maybe half-jokingly on Thursday if you felt guilty about George having one catch last week. Is it nice that guys like George aren't going to be ticked off or moping when they have one catch for nine yards?
Does it just help you as a quarterback that you probably don't have to deal with a lot of drama like that?
Like we said before, this team doesn't have any ego. Everyone wants to win. I feel like everyone knows that they're good. It's going to be just a matter of time with their game.
This game, George had the touchdowns. He had opportunities. Still, Deebo, Christian, everyone's able to contribute. JJ, their time comes. They know that.
At the end of the day, we put winning first. That's what we want to do. There's no selfish times where guys are coming up to me saying, hey man, I'm open. You've got to throw it to me or anything like that.
I'm very lucky and fortunate for that. Just keep it rolling.
It means a lot, obviously, but for me, I'm not trying to get caught up in what other people are saying. There's still stuff on film where I can get better. Kyle's real with me about that. Greasy's real about it.
That's where I'm at with that. I want to continue to just keep building these guys up around me and just keep winning.
