Head Coach Brian Flores was asked for his thoughts on the passing of legendary football coach John Madden. Flores said, "It's a sad day for a lot of people, for the game of football. As far as legacy and impact and the amount of people and lives that he touched not only as a coach, but as a person, as a husband, as a father. I think he's up there on the Mount Everest of coaching and obviously he had a great career as a coach and as a color commentator. From all the things that I've heard 鈥 I never met him 鈥 he's a better human being. It's a huge loss for the sport and really for everyone, so a sad day."
Tua Tagovailoa was asked about what the belief has been like in the locker room even when the team was 1-7 that they could get things back on track. Tagovailoa said, "I think the belief has always been in the locker room. It's really just the execution from all of us 鈥 being able to play together. There would be times where the defense plays really well and we've got to pick it up on offense 鈥 we don't play as well as we should and vice versa. Or maybe something happens where penalties take a toll on the game for us as a team. So we just weren't playing complementary football 鈥 like we've been saying 鈥 the way that we're kind of doing now."
