00:43 They made the plays they needed to. And we weren't able to.
00:47 On the three and out at the end, obviously, when you go minus three on first down, does your thought process change at all?
00:54 Well, we're not throwing caution into the wind, but there's still you're still looking for.
01:01 We kind of had some momentum throwing the ball and we were given Russ time protection wise.

01:15 I should say that.
