New England - 17, Miami - 24
BB: All right. Well, not too much to say after that one. You know, tough loss. But got to learn from it. And, you know, just keep working harder and move on. So there's really not too much to say.
Q. Bill, on the last play with Cole, did you get a good view of the play of how close Cole came? And did you get an explanation from the officials on what they saw to be able to overturn the call?
BB: Yeah, you should talk to the officials. I'm sure they'll do a full report on that. So...
