It’s all about winning,We did a lot of good things for an opening game. So many opening games are ugly. You lose them more than you win them. “We didn’t lose the game tonight. We hung in there and we fought.”

We can get better on offense,”

“But to play that good on defense in an opening ball game, and to play that well on special teams ... offense sells tickets and people love offense and when the offenses don’t look as good people says it’s an ugly game. Defensive coaches love ugly games.”
