[The defense] was big, strong and fast.

We were really excited and pumped up for this game. We were really focused coming in.

That first play, man, that was like a punch in the face.

[Our goal] is to talk on defense. [We need] to clear the ball so our offense can just take over.

Our defense got backed up to the wall, but we still should have played better. I put those two on us. We're supposed to be the mainstay of the team. We stop them there, and it's six points, tops.

Japan played significantly better defense than the other teams I saw. They deserved to win.
