Jaguars 23, Falcons 7
Q. (Indiscernible.)
DESMOND RIDDER: From the jump, first play didn't go as we planned. Throughout the first half, did a terrible job of taking care of the ball. I had two picks obviously wish we could have back, one pick six. That changed the momentum huge of the game.
So obviously looking back we got to find a way to start fast, so whatever that may be, however it is, that's just what we got to do. Then I got to do a better job taking care of the ball.
Q. Arthur said that this offense was pressing. Was there a moment where you...
DESMOND RIDDER: One more time. Sorry.
Q. Arthur said that this offense was pressing early. Was there ever a moment that you felt the same?
DESMOND RIDDER: Yeah, like we said, when we don't get going early and fast, that's when you feel the press. And then we came back into halftime, we regrouped, came back out and said, we got to do what we need to do. Came out that second half and was able to go down the field and get a touchdown and get some momentum back.
Obviously that's something we got to figure out how to do from the jump.
Q. First time playing here in London. (Regarding fans.)
DESMOND RIDDER: It was great. They come from London, anywhere in the world to be here to watch us. We thank them. We thank everyone that showed up and supported today. It was a great atmosphere and great place to play.
Q. Desmond, seemed the theme... (indiscernible)
DESMOND RIDDER: Yeah, that one, I mean, you go back and look, the one to Kyle was a -- they cut the crosser, so kind of ran a three-level read and the safety kind of drove on it. Yeah, I could have held my eyes in a better place.
The other one to Drake, he was inside leverage, just coming back. I didn't get my eyes over there quick enough on that one.
And so, yeah, it can go both ways.
Q. Looking at the week ahead, where do you want to improve the most?
DESMOND RIDDER: Yeah, me personally, you know, get back in there, take control of the game plan, go in there and lead these guys. Don't create no division of the team, and everyone and myself and just go out there and be a leader, be where I'm supposed to be, and get better at the end of the day.
