(On the defense's effort today) We basically all locked in. We knew each other's assignments, and we had to do them. We all focused, and it showed. It just didn't come through with the win."

(On how pleasing was it for the defense to get multiple turnovers) "Yeah, absolutely. Turnovers win games, but unfortunately, we didn't win this game. Just got to suck it up, take that one on the chin, and just go back to work next week. That's all we can do right now, ain't nothing else we can say."

(On how disappointing it was for the defense be on the field so often) "It sucks because you want to be in the position where you can chill as a defense and not have to worry. At the end of the day, it's football. Those guys are good too defensively, Pittsburgh, so you've got to tip your hat to them as well."
