![]() …touchdown when you saw him do the flip back or the dive across the goal line and almost, did it kind of take your breath away a little bit? But whatever it was got him a little heated. I think it was more to some of the other guys who were coming to my defense, but again, it wasn’t any forceful contact on my part. So I wasn’t trying to grab his face mask necessarily, but that’s where my hand kind of stuck. It was a strange tackle from behind, one of those weird ones where you kind of go knee first. I don’t think my grabbing of his face mask was that physical. Well, look, they usually get the second guy. Is there an art to getting the advantage in that situation, or was that just good fortune? It looked like you grabbed his face mask, and he responded and got the penalty. I don’t think this is my last one, but I have enjoyed every single one of them.Īaron, in the first quarter, Mario Edward had pressure on you. Pete… I don’t know if Pete’s in here, but he inspired me with my running. I still feel like I can move around a little bit. But I enjoy this rivalry so much, and I’ve been so thankful to be a part of it. I love playing on this field, even though it’s always the longest grass in the NFL. Just talking to Mace, 18 times I’ve been in this locker room, 17 regular seasons, and obviously the NFC Championship game. I thought about that a lot pre-game for sure. Was there any sense of finality that prompted you yelling at the woman with the double bird, like this is maybe the last time you might see her in this end zone? Do you think that prompted it at all? Kind of get those linemen a little more settled, and then we took a few shots down the field eventually. I think Matt did a nice job of adjusting there in the second quarter and more downhill runs and quick passes. Obviously Robert’s playing really well, and Khalil is still in the lead or best top three defensive players in the league. We screwed up two protections that were easy ones. I have a lot of trust in him, a lot of respect for the way he goes about his business. We sat down a couple Thursdays ago, had a real heart to heart, and I love the kid. What can you say about the offensive line play today, especially with Myers going down? We put a drive together, kind of withstood the first wave of energy, and I’m proud of the way that we finished the last three quarters. But I’ve had a lot of great moments on this field, a lot of great battles, and today was much like those other ones. I’m sure there’s a little bit of respect coming back my way. I said this week, I have a lot of respect for the fans. There were some people around me for sure. How did your teammates react when they heard it, or did they even hear it? I’m not sure exactly what came out of my mouth next. But I looked up in the stands, and in the front row all I saw was a woman giving me the double bird. I’ve definitely blacked out from a concussion, which isn’t a good way. Needed a drive late in the fourth and came out on top. I said, “Enjoy this, this special rivalry. Aaron, do you feel a sense of ownership in this rivalry?
