HEAD COACH LOVIE SMITH
“When you play a couple of games and when you don’t win one-score games at the end, it’s frustrating, disappointing, but you go back to work. You look at all the things that you can do to try to get over the hump as much as anything. That’s what we’ve been doing. Had another opportunity yesterday we let slip by. Hostile environment on the road. We’re in there with them, but again, we didn’t make some plays that we need to. They scored a touchdown. We didn’t.
