Steelers 13, Colts 30

Q. You guys got off to a fast start, two-score lead. What happened from there?

MITCH TRUBISKY: We got to play four quarters; we didn't. We didn't score enough points and we lost. Not the result we wanted.

Q. Did you feel like you were under duress most of this game?

MITCH TRUBISKY: They have a good front, they got some pressure and got some sacks. We got score more points.

Q. What was the conversation when you were taken out at the end of the fourth quarter?

MITCH TRUBISKY: Mason is going in. That's it.

Q. (Indiscernible.)

MITCH TRUBISKY: Go back to work, see what they want to do.

Q. Three straight weeks now the offense, whether you start fast, end fast, whatever this is, is there anything you can point to that's causing just the inconsistency?

MITCH TRUBISKY: Too many penalties. We can't go backwards. We got play 11 guys as one. We got execute better. We got to be better on third downs. We got play a complete game.

We got off to a fast start today. Didn't do anything in the second half. Just not good enough. We got to go back to work to correct it.

Q. The first deep ball got intercepted. Did you like the look of that matchup?

MITCH TRUBISKY: Ended up being one-on-one. He kind of took a different angle that I was anticipating coming out and I tried to throw it to where I saw him last and give him a 50/50 shot on it; the other kid made a good play.

Q. As a locker room are you guys bought into what's being said by each other, coaches, where you guys are as a team?

MITCH TRUBISKY: I believe so. I believe so.

Q. Do you feel like you guys have the answers for how to fix what's going wrong or is there some soul searching that still needs to occur?

MITCH TRUBISKY: Not this second we don't, but we're going to find them. We're going to work tirelessly and come together. Leaders got to step up and we got to find a way.

Q. What gives you confidence that you can find those answers?

MITCH TRUBISKY: Just overcoming adversity in the past.

Q. Did you say George took a different angle or the DB?

MITCH TRUBISKY: George took a different angle than I was anticipating coming out. I just tried to throw it to where I saw him last.

Q. The second one did you...

MITCH TRUBISKY: Yeah, sailed it. Sailed it.

Q. Is there something that you do to look for answers beyond what you guys have been doing since July?

MITCH TRUBISKY: Correcting mistakes. Continue to do what you're good at. Be fundamentally sound. Play together as 11.

Q. Did they maybe surprise you in how effective there were in run defense?

MITCH TRUBISKY: Yeah, they're stout. Good defense. They're good up front. We got to be better in all facets. I don't know what to say. We got out to -- we score 13 points pretty quick and couldn't get anything going after that. The inconsistency is, yeah, has to stop.
