LINEBACKER LUKE GIFFORD
What's the takeaway for the defense when you guys seemingly did enough for a win, and it wasn't quite there in all phases?
Yeah, I think we just got to make one more play. And that's always what it's about. We did a lot of good things, but when it comes down to it, we got to make the one that changes the game. So yeah, wish we would have got that done, but it's tough.
How do you feel you've taken advantage of your increased opportunities lately?
I think obviously it's all about winning and there's good and bad for sure and good things to take from it. But I'm sure I'll go watch the film and there'll be plenty to work on, you know? But that's how this league is, is you never know when your opportunity is going to come. And when it comes, you have to take advantage of it.
How do you prevent, if possible, this loss and some other losses from compounding and kind of snowballing?
I think you just got to remember that I said this earlier, but like the NFL, nobody feels bad for you or feels sorry for you. Next week is going to be just as tough. And so, if you don't bring it every week, then it's going to be a long remainder of the season. And I know that the guys that we have here and the type of people that we have around us, that's not going to happen. We'll be ready to roll next week.
