Jacksonville Jaguars 31, Kansas City Chiefs 28

ANDY REID: Don't really have a lot of injuries to talk about other than Simmons was sick before the game. Hit him quickly and we just are being precautionary there. Other than that, everybody came out okay. My hat goes off to Jacksonville. They did a nice job. We obviously had 13 penalties to their four. Whether I agree with them or don't agree with them doesn't matter, they called them. You have that many penalties, you give up field position, you can out-stat them to death and it doesn't matter. It's the score that matters and we've got to take care of does there. So with that, time's yours.

Q. Andy, just the last defensive drive, what stands out to you?

ANDY REID: They got a good starting point at the 40. We got to do a better job there with the kick and then when you talk about game of inches, it's a game of inches and 35 had a chance right there. He was right in perfect position. He was off by an inch and they made a catch and that happens, so still got to 'bow up and stop them. We didn't get that done.

Q. What did you see on the 99-yard interception return. How did that go awry?

ANDY REID: Yeah, they popped out. They showed blitz and popped that guy out. I didn't see him and it ended up being an interception.

Q. I know this is a game you want to win, but... (inaudible) the offense overall?

ANDY REID: Yeah, listen, I've told you this before. As much as these losses hurt, and the wins, there's always good and bad in each, things you can learn from it and move forward with. We got to make sure we do that, but we've got to be more disciplined with the penalty part of it and I've got to, obviously, evaluate those and go from there.

Q. The last time -- (inaudible).

ANDY REID: Yeah, listen, that's a tough ask. It's the number one defense in the National Football League we're playing against, so we want to make sure we get in the end zone. I have full trust in our defense that they, that and special teams take care of business and so we score. You have to do the best job you can to get into the end zone. I didn't want to sit there and have to kick a field goal and do that for sure.

Q. What did you think of the next play at the goal line on Trevor Lawrence?

ANDY REID: I thought it was great. Great play. Both teams were down in there and had turnovers, so Nick did a nice job and we were alert enough to grab the ball there, so it was good.

Q. Was there some common denominator you saw, special teams penalties, or what was going on there?

ANDY REID: No, there wasn't a common denominator ordinary reason a couple of guys got called twice. We got to just fix the problems with it.

Q. Could you talk about that final touchdown. What were you thinking as you were seeing the ball twice?

ANDY REID: Yeah, I thought we had him there. Yeah, but he's a competitor. He had a good day running with his legs.

THE MODERATOR: Okay, thanks, guys.
