“We weren’t very good tonight. There are no excuses. [Cleveland] were better than we were. We were chasing the game… We were a little slow and lost a lot of puck battles.”
“We’ll see what happens after this [game], but unfortunately, we are going to have to change some things to get us going in the right direction.”
– John Gruden
