It's a loss. We are 2-1. What happened last year doesn't matter. We beat them once and lost to them once. We lost to them when it counted and that's all that matters about last year.

I'm going to miss him. The Steelers are going to miss him. To send him off like this means the world to me. He's a great person.

They don't catch everything but it is a surprise. They reset the clock, it slipped and it happened to be for a lot of time. What are you going to do? It's like the coin toss in Detroit on Thanksgiving, what are you going to do?

His growth from last year to this year, his comfort level with the offense, with what NFL defenses do. He's been able to react, to be in sync, and that's when you're playing your best football. I'm definitely excited to play with him now.

They were giving us a lot of different looks today. And for some reason, we just didn't get a lot of push against them. We're going to have to go back, look at film, and figure out how to get better.
