Q. Bryce, can you talk about what went wrong today.

BRYCE YOUNG: Yeah, just got to be better with execution. First and foremost, it starts with me. Missed opportunities. Just execution top to bottom. There's a long list of stuff I've got to do better, and then offensively we all take responsibility. We all look in the mirror, and I think disconnected is a good word. Just wasn't executing, wasn't translating, and as the the offense, that's on me. We've got one more week, one more opportunity to get better, to be better, and put a better product out there next week.

Q. When you went down early, but you did come back, did that affect you?

BRYCE YOUNG: No, no. You did take a tough hit. That's football. Everybody -- everybody I don't think on either team there's anyone out there that played that would have said I took a tough hit today. No, that's no excuse at all.

Q. There was a moment where the cameras caught you with your head down. What led to that?

BRYCE YOUNG: Yeah, I was just frustrated in myself. I just missed a throw to Mingo that you've got to make. Got to do a better job, obviously, just with body language and that, but I was just frustrated with myself. Opportunities like that, you can't leave stuff on the field like that, just for us as a team. I was frustrated with that. Watching it back, I was just mad at myself for that.

But that was what happened.

Q. On that first sack, did (indiscernible) land on top of you?

BRYCE YOUNG: To be honest, I don't know. I haven't watched it on film. I'm not sure.

Q. That was the first of six sacks today. What was it they were doing that they were able to penetrate so well?

BRYCE YOUNG: Well, the credit goes to them, as well. They have a really good front, really good scheme. Definitely respect them.

But it's a group effort. I can do a better job getting the ball out quicker. More effective communication, making the right calls to put us in the best situations to put everyone up front in the best situations so we're going to the right people. It's a group effort. Again, we all take responsibility in that. We all want to be better when it comes to that, and then again, there's a role I play in that, as well, that I have to improve on.

Q. After having one of your best offensive outings last week, to turn around and have such a disappointing one, first shutout since 2002, how tough is it to have those highs and lows?

BRYCE YOUNG: Yeah, not fun. Not fun at all. It's on us. It's what we put out. It's our tape. It's what we did. We own it, accept it, it is what it is, but it's not fun.

Q. Trevor earlier this week said that he might pass on advice. Did you have a chance to talk to him?

BRYCE YOUNG: Yeah, I was able to talk to him for a second. I met him before, really good dude, ton of respect for him as a player, and gave some words of encouragement, and I appreciated that.

Q. Looked like as the second half went on there were a lot more rollouts and boots. Was that to get away from the pressure?

BRYCE YOUNG: That would be a question for TB. Just trying to execute what was called.
