 It was a frustrating day. It was a frustrating day all the way around. Great opportunity and didn't make the plays we needed to go win. Defense played a heck of a game. Really dominated and it was fun to watch them play. But we didn't make enough plays to win it. This hurts bad. We didn't think we'd be having this conversation right now. Not my vision for the game at all. But we had an opportunity there at the end, and there's no doubt in my mind we're going to go down and get points. In the last pick, Ryan, what happened in the last pick? Yeah, we were trying to get a shot over the top. They ended up rolling to a form of cover three zone. Corners high on top of Nick. I held the inside back with my eyes and tried to get him in there as he came back to the quarterback. Just to get us across the 50 there, we had two timeouts and would have had a couple shots to get into field of range to kick the game winner. Ryan, second off after the season you had, the expectations maybe come into playoff to have it in like this? Oh, it's brutal. I mean, no one in the locker room thought that we'd be where we're at right now. A lot of confidence going to this game. A lot of confidence even throughout the game. Things were going our way, but we're battling to find ways to make plays and wanted to put ourselves in position to win it in the fourth. And we had an opportunity to, we just didn't make those plays. The consecutive years of the home playoff loss, were your play didn't really match the regular season play? Do you have any kind of initial feel for why that is? I felt great coming in today. I thought we had opportunities, thought we made some plays. Some good plays made by the other side in situations where we've had opportunities in the past and it didn't turn out our way. How much would you pick, Ryan? Anything in particular happened on that? Was it miscommunication or how did that work out? No, safety made a heck of a play. We got Julio switch released there going vertical. He put a lot of space in there. He squatted on it and didn't feel like it was a threat right there to go over the top. So he squatted on it and drove on it. Usually the safety is not in that position against that coverage against that play. But at the tip of your hat to him, he made a heck of a play. What about the screen and the camera? Yeah, they came off the slot there inside zone. So a nickel pressure answer is to throw the bubble. And the base was closing in on Chester pretty quick on the outside. So I was going to have to kind of drive it on Chester and the nickel made a heck of a play. On the third down, Ryan, the two short yardage stats on the first one, was that an option play where you could have given that to Derek? Is that right on the third one? Yeah, it was a read there. Guy played a tight technique. I thought we were going to have an opportunity there. And I kind of came off and then hesitated. Wasn't able to make a miss and get the first down. Everybody following the loss kind of critiques themselves. How helpful would it be, I guess, for you for the season to end like this? And what are off-seasoners like following games where you don't get it done? This is brutal. It's going to hurt for a long time. It's going to be on my mind for a long time. It's going to take a long time to get over. Yeah, you don't look forward to this situation. You don't look forward to being out when you had a great opportunity. And this is one of those things, only time will heal. How did Derek look at all from your perspective, Ben? Do what? Derek, how did he look? And what was it like having him back in the huddle? I mean, it's tough to kind of see from where I'm sitting. A lot of times I'm carrying out a fake or just turning my head around. But I came in, had some good hard runs, was able to get downhill a little bit and run physical. So I thought I did a good job just from my perspective. It's just tough to really say. But good to have him back out there. Obviously, love having him on the field with us. What's the difference? Last night, a lot of time went off there about two minutes. So it was planned to allow that first time to collapse and take fuel or whatever at the end, rather than use time on the earth? Yeah, I think that was our plan, to try to bleed it as we got down and kick the game winner as time expired and not give the other side an opportunity. What happened, happened? What needs to happen for you to take this thing and do super hard for you? We've got to win. We've got to win in these critical playoff games. We overcame a lot to be here. But at the end of the day, we have to play really good and make the plays necessary to win the games in January. Ryan, would you look at this entire season and say that your performance fell off this season from the past two, just your individual performance? We'll go back and look at everything. There's a lot of things where I think I can grow from or learn from throughout this year that happened. Felt like we overcame a lot. But when you go home in this sort of fashion, it leaves a lot to be desired.
