HEAD COACH LOVIE SMITH
(Opening statement)
“We kind of knew what was at stake today. Normally you play your best ball when this much is on the line. It’s amazing we lost, but by seven points. You have to give the Saints a lot of credit. They played well [on] both sides of the football. Things we did, you just can’t win football games [like that]. Defensively, third downs killed us, big plays really hurt us an awful lot. [We] didn’t make any plays, no takeaways on the defensive side.
