The Indianapolis Colts were riding high having won five of their last six games, but they were dominated in a 29-10 loss to a struggling Atlanta Falcons team.

00:00 - I don't know.
00:01 We got to look at ourselves, hard in the mirror,
00:03 obviously after a loss like that,
00:05 starting with myself and get those things corrected.
00:08 You know, you have a big win the week prior,
00:10 and then you go do that, what we did today.
00:13 You know, we can't have it.
00:14 And obviously we got two guaranteed left to us
00:16 and we got to get it cleaned up in a hurry
00:18 and they're at home.
00:19 So I know we will get those things cleaned up.
00:21 I have full confidence in the guys in there
00:24 that we'll get it cleaned up for the last two.
00:26 - You guys moved down the field so easily that first drive.
00:28 What made it so hard to move the ball?
00:30 - Great question.
00:31 If I had the answer for you,
00:32 I'd give you a perfect answer.
00:33 Credit to, you know, the Falcons.
00:37 They did a good job up front with their defensive line,
00:40 some of the things they were doing.
00:42 But again, it starts with myself.
00:44 I got to be better for the guys going forward.
00:46 - Did you feel like the defense needed to do something
00:49 to get more pressure on you?
00:52 - I think he did a good job.
00:53 I think we were getting there.
00:55 He made some good movements in the pocket
00:57 to create some space and that's what he does a little bit.
01:00 But obviously you want to create that pressure
01:02 on the quarterback and get those sacks
01:03 and get those takeaways.
01:05 You know, credit to Atlanta for what they did on offense.
01:09 - On the coverage side of things,
01:11 is there something you can do
01:13 when he's kind of checking down the running back a lot
01:15 to bring the coverage up
01:17 so that that guy's not so open all the time?
01:19 - Yeah, I mean, you can tighten it down a little bit,
01:21 but I mean, shoot, our guys were there and the shooter,
01:23 if anything, you don't want to give it the explosive.
01:25 You know what I mean?
01:25 Let's not give it the explosive.
01:26 Let's rally and tackle a back, you know,
01:28 for six, seven yard gain.
01:30 Obviously we knew that back was explosive
01:31 going into the game.
01:32 He made some plays.
01:34 Like I said, he's a hard guy to tackle.
01:35 And obviously we had to come to balance
01:37 in those situations and get them down, you know, bottom line.
