Miami - 20, New England - 7
DAVID ANDREWS: We'll go back and watch it here on the flight. We beat ourselves up. I thought we ran the ball well. Obviously, they did some things to counteract that, but some of the pressures, but I thought we ran the ball well, but we beat ourselves. Three, four turnovers, a strip sack for a touchdown. More of can't win till you keep from losing kind of day then, anything else.
I think there was a lot of positives. Parts of me are encouraged. Parts of me are -- you know, let one slip away.
Q. There were two unblocked sacks in the first half that kind of wrecked the drives. Disappointing?
DAVID ANDREWS: Yes.
Q. Do you need to have that figured out?
DAVID ANDREWS: Yeah, I don't think I can go into a game not feeling like I have something figured out. Go back and see what we can do better, what I can do better, and go from there.
Q. How did you do as a new offense?
DAVID ANDREWS: Like I said, there were some things that were encouraging. Look, obviously, when you get down like you do, it kind of takes your fastball away, the run game obviously. We tried to keep it going there. But you can't sit there and just keep running the row ball.
Obviously, I haven't looked at the stats, I don't know anything, but I felt like we were moving the ball in the run game. I felt like we were moving the ball all day really. Felt like we could have finished drives and obviously the turnovers, which I hit on.
Like I said, there were some things that are encouraging, but it was a loss. We've got to figure that out here tonight and tomorrow morning and then get on to the next one.
Q. Outside of those first two drives in the first and second half, why do you feel the offense struggled?
DAVID ANDREWS: Well, a strip sack for a fumble. Another interception and fumble, turnovers. It's hard to get in rhythm when you don't have the football.
I think when we were rolling, we were in the rhythm, and then we kind of sputtered out, didn't win first down, got behind the chains. It's hard to win that way.
Q. Any worry about there still being a little bit of a going out process?
DAVID ANDREWS: Look, Super Bowl is not decided today, right? We've got 17 -- 16 more games now. So, look, how many years you come out here and see a team go 8-0, 6-0, and then don't make the playoffs?
We try to get better each week. We'll learn from this. I thought it was a great learning experience, just a great defense. I think we all know that, who does some challenging things. We'll learn from it and move forward. That's all we can do.
Q. Do you feel like you were acclimated to the heat, coming down early?
DAVID ANDREWS: Yeah, it was just playing football, man.
Q. When you say learning, what did you learn most from today?
DAVID ANDREWS: Like I said, I thought we did a lot of things good. We made some plays. We were able to run the ball well. I thought Cole did a great job in his first NFL start.
Look, I got to go in the film and learn. Come find me next week, and you can find an analysis of it.
