Haslett talked about the 20-17 loss to Tampa Bay. "I thought this was our best game of the year by far running the football on offense," he said. "We did a lot of good things running the football, just like we wanted to. I thought it was our best game on defense stopping the run. We scored 17 points, we didn't give up a sack, we played good in the red zone on offense, but the disappointing thing is you turn the ball over twice. On defense, we only gave up 13 points, played really well in the red zone, and had four sacks. The effort was outstanding in all three phases. But, the poor thing was third down. To me, the poorest thing about out defense was not getting the ball back with 3:45 to go. I thought we were bad on kickoff coverage then. The special teams were again outstanding except for the kickoff coverage unit the last play. They had a hands team on and had eight guys up, it's a perfect scenario to kick it deep with three timeouts and the two-minute warning. We kick it deep and miss three tackles and the guy gets out to the 45 yard line. We had them pinned at the 15. Then, they get two first downs on us and wasted all our timeouts and the two-minute warning. So for me, that was probably the most disappointing thing about the defensive play. We had a chance to get the ball back for the offense and at least get a field goal or the winning touchdown and we never got the ball back."
