Adams' Fifth Championship Game

During his presser, Adams touched on a variety of topics including the fact that he's 0-4 in NFC Championship Games.

“It's not," stated Adams. "I've been here quite a few times and I think I may have mentioned to you guys a few times, forgive me if I'm not smiling ear to ear after the first win or the second win. Just having been here so many times and understanding exactly what it takes to get where we're ultimately trying to go."

"It's obviously exciting to achieve the minor goals along the way that you ultimately need to do to get where you want to be. It feels almost like a mythical thing to me at this point. You do everything you can to get there and it's been so hard and I’ve been working so hard at it. We're close. We just have to finish it off.”

Grateful For the Moment

While this is Adams' first NFC Championship Game since the 2020 season, these past two playoff games against the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears have been his first victories in the postseason since the Packers defeated the Rams in the 2020 NFC Divisional Round.

“Any time you go from… I started off with a great experience with the Packers and didn't have anything else to compare it to so you don’t in a sense take it for granted," stated Adams. "I don't think I was taking it for granted, but you go to a situation where you struggle a little bit more in Vegas and I was blessed to still have a lot of great football there and a lot of good times. But in terms of winning and playing meaningful games, we weren't in that position. Being back in a position where you're with a great team and in a great situation, you definitely have a greater appreciation for times like this, for sure.”
