Opening statement:
"Okay, I think (P) Blake (Gillikin) had an ankle in the first half there, and then (DL) Roy (Lopez) had an ankle, didn't return. Disappointing loss. We didn't play our best ball there. I have to find some answers to get us going a little bit because we haven't played great here the last couple weeks, so that falls on me. We have to go back to the drawing board tomorrow, get these things corrected, put them in better positions and we have to win a game. I thought we spotted them a lot of points there, but then we battled back. I appreciate their effort. That was good. We battled back there, had a couple chances to even cut the lead a little more, but ultimately didn't get it done. So give them credit and I have to do a better job."
On how he finds solutions:
"Yeah, we have to look at a tape and make sure we're thinking critically about (if) we (are) putting our guys in the right positions to make plays. That's all the coaching staff, starting with me."
On the biggest issues offensively:
"Well I would always say the ball first. The takeaways hurt, but credit to 'K1' (QB Kyler Murray) because I think that was back to back (interceptions) and he battled and made some plays there and we got back into the game. The run game, I thought we popped some runs, but not consistent enough. I didn't think we operated great on third down there, but you just have to play a little bit cleaner and score a couple more points. Defensively, the run game wasn't great. They popped the long one there. That put us down 24-10, and that 50 yarder that hurt. Then on third down, I give credit to them. They did a couple of different things, unique things, that they haven't shown. Which, they have a say too, but we have to get off the field a little bit better on third down."
On if the absence of Gillikin impacted the Seahawks:
"Yeah, I'm sure they look at the injury there and how they want to decide to play it, but I don't know. You can talk to them."
On Murray's recent struggles under pressure:
"I think every game's a little bit different. I thought he stuck in there and made some big time throws though, but he has to protect the ball a little bit better. That's not just him, that's all 11 so there'll be a lot of corrections off those plays to what needs to happen. I honestly thought the first play, 13 (Seahawks CB Ernest Jones IV) made a really good play. That's where the ball should have went, and he kind of read his eyes and rocked back out of it. He was playing the strong side and came back to the weak. That was good play, so give credit to them."
On his message to Murray about critics and his message to Murray's critics:
"Yeah, I don't have to say anything to him (Murray). He knows that. (To) the critics, the reason that we're playing meaningful games in December right now he's a huge piece to that. That's what I would tell them."
On staying even keel and his confidence in the team:
"Yeah, they'll come back ready to work tomorrow. I just told them we put ourselves in a little bit of a hole now, but all you can do is attack tomorrow, learn tomorrow and have a good week of practice. Again, I have to do a better job of setting them up to win a football game so that's what we'll do."
On if he thinks the game could've been won had they scored to start the second half:
"No, I thought the game went back and forth there. And again, we spotted them some points there but I thought we were back into the game and then we cut it to nine. Then I know we missed the field goal there. That would've cut it to a one score game. I thought the one drive to cut it to nine, we went for two there for that reason. You're looking at down nine, you need a field goal and the touchdown wins it, but ultimately all three phases couldn't pull together."
On if there has been a drop off in performance:
"Yeah, I have to look at it. That's on me because we were rolling, (we) hit the BYE and we haven't gotten it rolling quite yet. I'm sure we'll stick to our process, but we have to tweak some things. I have to tweak some things."
On if he said anything to Murray in the moment following the back-to-back interceptions:
"No, keep your head up and keep battling. He knows."
On his start to the game:
"I feel like I let the team down today. Self-explanatory, can't do that."
On how much pressure he feels every season:
"No, I'm super confident when I go to sleep at night, in this locker room and with the guys that I play football with. I don't worry or have fear when I step on the field with them at all. And I mean that wholeheartedly."
On what went wrong today:
"We didn't finish. Penalties, turnovers and not executing in crucial times of the game will get you beat."
On the Cardinals not controlling its own destiny:
"Yeah, it sucks. It sucks when you feel like you put yourself in this position, but at the end of the day we have to show up again. We have another home game next week, and we'll put our best foot forward when it comes down to it."
On if he can just trust the process, or if he feels that he has to do more:
"No, I don't. No need to press. I'm not looking at it like I have to try to be Superman. I don't think that's the answer. I just need to play within the offense like we've done for the majority of the season. Today, I didn't. Like I said, throwing two picks puts yourself behind the eight ball in the NFL like that. It's tough."
On what he saw on both interceptions:
"It's on me. Just put it on me."
On how difficult it is to move on from throwing back-to-back interceptions:
"I have to. I've played a lot of football. Those aren't the first picks I've thrown. I had to bounce back to come back and win the game. I've done it plenty of times. We kept fighting until the end. We just ran out of time. We didn't make enough plays. They made more plays than us. Put that on me. We will be better next week."
On if he saw Seahawks LB Ernest Jones IV before throwing the interception:
"Again, you can just put it on me."
On his throw on the third-and-2 play late in the game:
"It was man (coverage). In hindsight, I could have thrown to (TE) Elijah (Higgins), (WR Greg) Dortch. The time in the game I got greedy trying to get (WR) 'Marv' (Marvin Harrison Jr.). (I was trying to) give him a chance, didn't call it, kicked the field goal. "
LB Mack Wilson Sr.

On the team's message after the loss:
"It's tough, obviously. We lose to a divisional opponent, but we still got four games left. We still got a lot of ball left. We just have to be ready to go back to work tomorrow. It's that simple. There's nothing else that you can do."
On conversations between teammates after the loss:
"I'm sure it was conversations about what we could've done better. I was talking to a lot of guys about plays I wish that could have back. I'm sure there were some plays out there some of the offensive guys wish they could have back. It's more so of that. We are going to stay connected because that's who we are. We are just going to keep working."
On the issues that have contributed to a three-game losing streak:
"I don't really know. You gotta watch the film and judge that yourself. There are some things obviously that we all have to work on. Offense, defense, special teams. We just have to keep working at the end of the day, that's what it all boils down to. Keep working, keep your head up and just keep grinding it out."
On if there is any differences before the BYE compared to after:
"Not really. I feel like guys are ready to play every Sunday. We just fell short. We just have to find a way to make more plays than they do. That's really been the theme these past three weeks. They have just made more plays than us. We just have keep working. That's what it comes down to. Move on to the next week. It's all we can do. Flush it and just try to win out. Honestly, it's that simple, we gotta win out. If that's what y'all want to hear, we have to win out."
