Mateer discussed his and his team's performance with the media following the game. See the full presser below.

NOTES

-On being sacked eight times by the Broncos: "I definitely could have checked the protections. They were bringing it, bringing it a lot especially in that second half."
-On healing during the bye week: "The bye week will help. We're a tough group of men. I'm a little
beat up yeah, but it'll help. It'll be good for us."
-On missing deep throws: "I've never thought that's been a struggle of mine, but apparently it has been, and that's going to be something I'm going to work on and I'll fix."
