0:34.2	Thank you. session with Greg.
0:49.8	Question was, what were the Eagles doing on the back end with the coverage and the way they were covering that was allowing their front four to get there and make Mahomes so uncomfortable.
0:55.4	It's funny. Watching the, I was in the stadium. I was sitting high up on the 50 yard line. So,

2:04.5	and then some snaps of cover eight, which is the reverse. It's cover two to the field and cover four to the boundary.
