Transcript

00:00 >> What was going right in the first couple of drives, Joe?

00:03 >> Well, we were making plays, we were executing at a high level.

00:05 Second half we won.

00:08 >> Did they do anything to change your rhythm?

00:10 Did you feel a different tempo to the game starting in the second half?

00:13 >> Yeah, you gotta give them credit.

00:14 They made some adjustments that worked for them.

00:18 And we didn't capitalize on our opportunities in the second half.

00:21 >> Did you say short yardage is up at the top of the list of things you need to fix

00:57 What's that like for you?

00:58 >> Yeah, it's, like I said, I'm confident in their ability to get the job done.

01:08 game away when we didn't take advantage of it.
