That means the Rams get the six.

Seed is.

Lindsey said.

They're gonna take on Seattle in the first round, but the Bears come in as the seventh seed Rob, let me start with you in this game.

We saw Colin Merry go down with an ankle injury.

We've seen him be banged up over the last couple of weeks as well.

What impact you think that injury had on the game itself?

Well, I mean that the pick six was basically the the game.

I mean, when you don't if you don't throw that pick six.

Um, the whole game is different, especially with Kyler coming back in.

So it's tough.

It's tough when you're the backup and you come into the game and you haven't had the week of preparation and the reps that you would have had on the flip side that John Woolford had.

He knew all week that he was gonna be the starting quarterback going into this game.

So you have more practice straps.

You have more confidence.

Eso When Chris came in, um, it's more spur of the moment.

He's trying to make a play, throws the pick six Detroit Hill.

Um, that was a That was a turning point because the Rams defense played tough.

Um, in Arizona, just they didn't make any big plays.

You look at the receiving corps?

Um, they were limited in what they were able to do because the Rams have a great secondary.

Um, they got after him a little bit in the past Rush department.

So when you have that, you put that all together.

The Rams really didn't score, either.

They had the pick six.

They had the safety with the holding in the end zone.

So there's your two points there, and then you had three field goals.

So that's the game.

And at the end of the day, that's what's gonna come down to is the little things.

It's a mistake.

One throw here.

There could be the game, and that's what it was.

You know, Tim, throughout the course of a season, oftentimes backup quarterbacks have to come in to do something to give their team a chance to win, and ultimately, that could determine whether they make the playoffs at the end of the year.

No matter when that happens during the season, what did you make of this game, they end up being a battle of backups for the most part.

Well, Michael, you're exactly right.

You know, people don't often talk about it, but it's the difference difference of continuing to play.

And maybe Jared Golf gets another opportunity or going home.

In fact, that's why you saw Kyler Murray come back into the football game because he thought, This is it.

Look, I thought John Wolfert, who in his first pass attempt throws an interception and then really struggled on a few third downs right after that.

But once you got past that, I thought he played great.

I think John McVeigh's assessment of how his quarterback responded to the early adversity was spot on.

He did a very good job.

No, they didn't like to score for it up, but he made good decisions.

He moved the offense as Aaron Donald said, make some good decisions when to take off and run with it.

Um you know, and then in terms of passing the football, that was accurate.

Once he kind of settled down.

So that was the difference in the game because his Rob said the pick six right before halftime when I think that Chris Tremlett felt like he had a free play, that was probably the difference in kind of the turning point in Arizona was really never able to kind of overcome that.

That part of you know, the game.

So I think, did a good job.

And look, he may be in a situation where he's playing Seattle next week.

So probably good for the Rams to even just have this performance under their belt.
