Reid: Yeah, just resiliency, the toughness, mental toughness, resiliency. A lot of teams would have folded in that moment. They would have just threw in the white towel and just given up on it. But that's not the way that we're built. We're built with a bunch of guys that love football, that believe in the system, that believe in Kellen, believe in what we're doing here. And when we click on all cylinders, it's evident what we can do. We just need to do that a little more consistently.
Reid: Definitely, it was a place that the defense would have wanted back. Of course, like the score touchdown. But he speaks to consistency of how the defense played off our quarters. Yeah, I feel like we made plays. I feel like we needed to give our offense a chance. We gave him a chance. So we kept us in there, seven points in the first half. I wish we could have got that defensive touchdowns.
Reid: And I saw Cam put out a tweet out there too. I'm nine years in myself. And that's a new one for me to learn. But it's not my place to comment on that. It is what it is. We just go out there and play. But defensively, feel really strongly about the talent level of the team that we have here, about the playmakers that we have really across the board. And a loss is a loss at the end of the day. The only thing that matters in this league is wins and losses. But there's a lot of things, a lot of positives that came out of this. And I think that people ought to know what the 2026 Saints are in store for us.
Reid: Yeah, absolutely. You can put up 400 yards of the offense in one half. Imagine we're doing that the whole time.
