DT Jeffery Simmons

On if the team's reputation of being undisciplined in the officials' eyes are what gave them so many penalties

"I'm sure when we go watch the tape, we'll see. But my penalty? Are they going to call it every time? I'm sure. When [Titans LB] Cody [Barton] stopped the guy's progress and I go and shove them, no matter if I thought I was trying to play through the whistle or not, I'm sure they're going to call it every time. When Cody stops progression, they're going to call it every time. At the end of the day, we have to clean up the penalties. There's a lot of good things we're going to see on tape."

On the team not capitalizing on the turnovers forced by the defense

"That's one of the things that we've been talking about. The defense is trying to create turnovers, and we did a hell of a job at that. We can talk about all the good things as well, but you know what really got us beat? I'm going to keep saying it's the penalties that we had today. So after cleaning it up, that's a positive; that we did get the ball off their offense. So we took that step and now we got to take the next step and get less penalties and clean the penalties up."
