Ryans: Good morning.
Ryans: We can play the coverage better on that play. They threw the ball short and we got to be tighter, got to play tighter, we got to finish more aggressive to try to get out the field there.
Ryans: For us, it comes down to playing complimentary football. And for that game to go the way it went offensively, it did a lot of great things, scored enough points for us to win. When it comes down to how you play complimentary, how we started the second half there with special teams giving up an explosive defense, giving up explosives and a touchdown, you have so many miscues going on there, that's not complimentary football. So for us to win a game, we got to help each other out. Special teams has to set up the offense.
