Q. (Inaudible)?

COACH KINGSBURY: Just banged up. Nothing serious. They took him to the tent. Everything checked out.

Q. (Inaudible)?

COACH KINGSBURY: To make some plays, obviously the fourth downs, not getting those hurt us, really put us behind. And the interception there was tough.

But that was a really good team. We knew we had to play as good as we've played all year. And I thought they played really physical in that second half and found a way to make plays.

Q. How do you feel about the atmosphere, the people in Mexico, this experience for you and for the team?

COACH KINGSBURY: The atmosphere was incredible. They put on a great game and the entire weekend was spectacular. I wish we could have performed better, but that was a great atmosphere for football.

Q. Did you feel the altitude started to affect especially the defense in the second half?

COACH KINGSBURY: I didn't. Everybody was tired. I think both teams you could see were getting winded at times but it wasn't anything that I felt like was game changing.

Q. How was Rondale Moore?

COACH KINGSBURY: We'll have to check it out. It was some sort of groin. It was tough losing him that early but hopefully it won't be too long term.

Q. (Inaudible)?

COACH KINGSBURY: We've got to flush it. We've got a short week with the Chargers coming in. So that's what we talked about. We know we've got to play a lot better. Gotta improve in a short time. A lot of mental preparation going into Sunday's game before a bye. So we've got to find a way to get it corrected.

Q. Did you feel like their first possession of the second half took something out of you?

COACH KINGSBURY: I thought they had a great drive. Obviously a great play call there. But we've got to find a way to respond. Even then it's 20 to, whatever, 10 or 24-10. You're in the game. And I didn't think offensively we were able to come back and respond the way we needed to.
