How do you explain kind of the slide back from that kind of high level?
Yeah, you know, we prepped hard.
We just didn't play good enough.
I mean, you still got to get in this moment,
whether you have seven days to prepare, 14 days to prepare,
you still got to go execute in these moments, you know.
You got to take care of the ball.
You got to, you know, you got to get off the field on,
you know, third downs.
You got to not give up second and 19 pass interferences.
You got to not have penalties.
You've got to not have bad calls by us.
You've got to make field goals.
I mean, like, you have to do all those things.
And we just – I'm disappointed.
You know, we just – none
of the three sides I felt like really held up there
into the bargain.
There were some moments of good, but we just weren't able to sustain it
and really grab momentum.
We had some big stops defensively after the turnovers.
We had a lot of really good drives offensively.
And just once we kind of crossed the 50 kind
of down in the high red zone area,
we obviously weren't very good.
So we had a lot of scoring opportunities that we missed.
And then, you know, special teams
for tonight were not what they've been.
And so, yeah, when you don't play good on all three sides on the road
against a good team in an environment like this,
like you're not going to give yourselves
a really good chance to win a game,
and we didn't do it.
