Are you ready to get spicy?

SPEAKER_1 (0:48)

These Doritos Golden Sriracha aren't that spicy.

Joe Flacco (0:51)

Maybe it's time to turn up the heat.

SPEAKER_1 (0:54)

Or turn it down.

SPEAKER_2 (0:55)

It's time for something that's not too spicy.

SPEAKER_1 (0:57)

Try Doritos Golden Sriracha.

SPEAKER_3 (0:59)

Spicy.

SPEAKER_6 (1:00)

But not too spicy.

SPEAKER_1 (2:15)

Hey, what does all in one mean? So Clorox toilet wand is all I need to clean a toilet?

SPEAKER_3 (2:37)

Use is directed.

SPEAKER_5 (2:38)

These three catches for 30 for the market, would you see them kind of winning?

Zac Taylor (2:41)

Yeah, again, I don't think we were ever in a tremendous rhythm in any facet, and you have to credit them. You know, they had a great plan, they played well. At times, we found some momentum, and just it wasn't enough of that to go out and score enough points to win the game.

SPEAKER_9 (2:58)

You credit Chase for keeping his cool there?

Zac Taylor (3:01)

Yeah, yeah, I mean, these guys are in emotional matchups. We all know that. There's a lot at stake for teams, there's a lot at stake for these individuals. It's competitive. When you got great players, going against great players, it's going to be emotional at times, and Jamar's always done an excellent job of controlling what he can control, and so I respect that about him.

SPEAKER_7 (3:21)

You said Pittsburgh tackled better, depending on the specific reason why they were able to win. It feels like every week we ask you about tackling. Is it to a point where you guys have brought it up in practice so much and talked about it so much after games that you might need to just make some personnel changes to see it back in health and tackling?

Zac Taylor (3:38)

No.

SPEAKER_11 (3:39)

Patrick, I think this might have been what you were talking about when you started here, but on the Jalen Ramsey projection, he was obviously the only one objective. Were you comfortable with how you guys can work with yourselves?

Zac Taylor (3:51)

I have no idea. I didn't see any of it. I got the worst view in the house. So again, they didn't call us for anything, so I'm proud of our guys.

I have the worst seat in the house. No idea.

SPEAKER_5 (4:01)

How frustrating is it between 7-10 games last year, kind of a similar record in this point in the year? You know, giving the hot star to an O, just being unable to capitalize on that. How frustrating is that now?

Zac Taylor (4:11)

You feel them. You feel all the losses. You feel them all. They eat at you all.

You know, we're working like crazy to make sure that this doesn't happen. It happened today. It's disappointing. Our option is to come back tomorrow and keep fighting and find a way to get a win. And we got a red-hot team coming in here. And so that's what we're going to do. We're going to do everything we can to clean this up, correct the mistakes, get back to work, and fight another week and find a way to get a win.
