This was an interesting ball game,
to say the least, last night, because, again, the
NFC East.
I'm not sure who's going to end up winning this division.
I'm not sure there's going to be a team
with a winning record at the end of the day that's
going to win this division.
So every single football game is a priority
that you have to get a win, especially when
you're playing in division, and no question about it,
John Harbaugh knows last night was
a missed opportunity.
How much of a missed opportunity do you view
this of grabbing sort of a stranglehold on the division?
It's a missed opportunity, but like I told the guys,
it would have been great to win the game,
but it doesn't change our goals or our opportunity going forward.
So it's a tough loss.
It's the National Football League.
You're going to lose some games.
And everybody in this league is good.
The commanders are good.
Everybody's good.
And we've got a really good team coming
in here next Sunday, a team that we can beat.
So we've just got to get back to work.
Man, I just think they were really aggressive.
In the fourth quarter there, when time is your enemy there,
and some of the play calling,
they gave possessions back to the commanders,
really played on that side on why they
were able to come back and get that victory.
J.J. McCarthy, though, he knows too, man.
He goes, listen, man, it's a tough loss and it sucks.
Obviously, absolutely sucks.
No matter what, you got to find a way to get the win.
You know, credit them.
We're making more plays than we did.
At the end of the day, this is National Football League.
It's going to be tight games all the way down to the wire.
And we just got to learn from this and find a way to get better
and keep progressing through this loss
and make sure it doesn't happen again in those critical situations.
And, yeah, I thought the boys battled,
but just didn't get what we wanted.
And we've got to make more plays next time.
I've got to say, Saquon, the running back for the Giants,
I call him a crash test dummy.
I mean, every time I see this guy,
this guy's doing something off the chain.
I kind of like him in a way.
Now, so I guess his pregame meal, it's pretty interesting here.
This is what he had, and this is why he yacked
his goods up on the sidelines there
during the football game.
You got a little sick between the first and second quarter.
Could you talk about that?
Yeah, I had a pretzel-wrapped hot dog.
I didn't sit right in his stomach.
Nothing crazy.
A pretzel-wrapped hot dog as a pregame meal.
Would you chug it with a beer?
Before the game.
Great.
Okay.
All right, folks, let's get over to the commander's side.
Now, this is a medical term, okay?
Sphinxter muscle, okay?
I just want you to know, sphincter muscle, it is a medical term.
You tell me if this guy right here, again, is on high alert,
and this guy, you talk about needing a win, watch this.
We needed that.
We needed every bit of it.
And I had a sense it would come down to the end.
This is with the team about over the last,
you know, games from 24 and 25,
the first game here, how they are coming down to the end.
Some were two minutes, some were four minutes.
Turnover rundowns and back-to-back interceptions, that's hard.
It would have been really easy to lose the faith in that moment.
And, uh...
So to see us battle and stay in the fight,
that's what I was looking for.
So I'm proud of how we responded.
That was a big deal for us to get rolling into that.
You know, Jaden Daniels also had a game where, guess what,
at the end of the day here, he needed to really make a great comeback,
and he really needed to play well in the fourth quarter,
and he ended up coming back and really playing well.
23 of 33, 249 yards, even though he threw the two picks,
he knew he had to have this football game.
We'll
Yes, I threw two picks.
Got that on my system, so I can move forward about that.
be
I, too, dig the hair, man.
Flying the family stone.
right
I'm super grateful to have that.
No doubt, man.
No matter what, I kick myself
for those mistakes in those critical moments,
back.
but defense picked it up, and I still had
the opportunity to go out there
and win the game.
Steph ran a great route.
I was able to give him the ball, and he did the rest.
Serious.
Dudes, they're 3-5 and 1 right now on the season.
So, again, everything is up for grabs there
when you're talking about the NFC Least there.
All right, you know a guy
who's very busy during this time of the year, right?
It's Thanksgiving, and there's a lot of places and a lot of houses
that this guy's got to go to.
There's no question about it.
Stefon Diggs is a guy that's very busy during the holidays.
All them kids he's got, you know,
and all them baby mamas he's got to feed here.
But he knows one thing.
When he sees Jayden Daniels play, it reminds him of a legendary player.
Baby Kobe.
Baby Kobe.
He is in the beginning of the game and the end of the game.
Baby Kobe.
For me, it's like things are going to happen.
Good and bad, he isn't going to change.
All right, 100 seconds.
What's the feeling when you go into the end zone there
with just under a minute to go with
what's probably the winning touchdown?
I've been doing
I ain't got no feelings, but we're going up,
and now I was kind of worried about how much time we had left.
this along t
I was wondering if I should have wasted a couple more seconds,
you
you know, the old DeSean Jackson.
I'll tell you what, though.
He has been a needed addition to that football team
very
since Terry McLaurin has gone down.
I mean, look, I mean, he's done really a great job for them, man.
much.
Six catches, 83 yards, and really he's the only offensive weapon
that that football team has.
And right now, again, they're still hanging in there at 3-5-1.
