“It was probably the biggest disappointment,” Rivera said. “We had some opportunities, and we didn’t convert them. We had a third-and-long at the end and gave it up.

“That’s probably it right there. It was fourth-and-7, and we thought we had an opportunity to get it pinned. And we ended up with third-and-(16) … and you would like to believe you’re going to convert that. Unfortunately, we didn’t so we have to take a look at that. … We got an opportunity on third-and-real long there, and we didn’t take care of business.”

Rivera and defensive tackle Jonathan Allen said missed assignments, and players doing too much and being out of position, were among the main ills on Sunday. Poor tackling was another commonly cited pitfall.
