00:03 >> I don't know.
00:03 [LAUGH] I mean, like I said, we just gotta be better as a team and
00:06 just keep moving forward.
00:08 >> What does it say about the team that you guys didn't play back to at least
00:11 in this one?
00:12 >> So we've been doing that all year, just coming back from deficits,
00:15 trying to fight back in the second half.
00:17 We just can't put ourselves in that hole.
00:19 Like I said, it's consistently happening, so we just gotta make a change.
00:23 >> What was said at halftime to the team?
00:27 >> We know we're in, we're down 17 at halftime, so.
00:32 Like I said, we just gotta keep fighting back.
00:34 We've been doing that all year, so.
00:37 >> Chris. >> We just gotta stick together.
00:38 >> Do you feel like in any way Derrick's play,
00:41 especially in that third quarter, was sort of motivated by the crowd?
00:46 >> No.
00:47 >> They come in the game with the way you have bad games, you have good games, but
00:51 he's always low-headed, so we always gotta trust him.
00:54 >> D.A. said there were some encouraging things.
00:56 Obviously a better day in the red zone today.
00:57 Is there anything that you can kind of build off of, especially in that area?
01:00 >> Yeah, for sure.
01:01 We converted in the red zone.
01:03 We should have converted that last try.
01:05 I don't know if that was in the red zone, but that's the game right there.
01:08 We just gotta, like I said, we did a lot better today, and
01:12 we gotta keep going forward.
01:14 >> So what point this week did you kind of learn that you were gonna be active for
01:18 this game?
01:18 >> I felt good earlier in the week.
01:20 Just went through the whole protocol thing, make sure I got cleared.
01:24 I wasn't trying to force it, but I felt good going throughout the week,
01:27 early in the week.
01:29 >> Chris, is there a lack of confidence with this team now losing six games by
01:32 one score game?
01:33 >> Never.
01:33 We never got a lack of confidence.
01:37 It's the NFL.
01:38 I mean, we just gotta try to pull those out late in the game, but
01:42 it's never a lack of confidence.
01:43 >> What kind of changes do need to be made when you talk about changes?
01:49 I feel like, what do you think in that regard?
01:52 >> We've gotta be more consistent, especially starting the game.
01:56 We can't get out to a deficit.
01:57 And we just gotta play our brand of football.
02:00 >> Thanks, guys.
