| 0:00.0 | You usually don't hear coaches talk about chasing down one team, but I'm curious as to how much of the offseason plan inside the building was about closing the gap on one team, that one team being the Eagles. |
| 0:17.0 | Yeah, they had a fantastic team and a fantastic year. |
| 0:20.5 | So during the regular season, we split the games with them, and the postseason, |
