Tennessee’s Nick Westbrook-Ikhine spoke to the media after the game about losing to Jacksonville.

Tough day offensively. You guys moved the ball between the 20s and weren't able to cash in for touchdowns. How tough is it to deal with a day like today?

Nick: Yeah, I mean, that's the difference in the game. Not scoring those touchdowns in the red zone, that's the difference in the game. I feel like that's something we've been pretty good at in the past. And so, yeah, it's tough. It's definitely I'd say the difference is not being able to get seven.

They do anything different once you guys reach the red zone, especially the high red zone? Was it just execution?

Nick: Yeah. I mean, I'll have to watch the film. I feel like it was just partly like execution details, stuff like that. I mean, If I catch that pass, we're not having this conversation. So yeah, I mean, I think it was execution. I don't think it was the scheme or plan or anything like that. I take responsibility on my end for not bringing it down.

Facing the 32nd-ranked defense and come away with six points, how shockingly frustrating is that at the end of the day?

Nick: Yeah, it's extremely. I feel like we could have taken advantage of them a little bit more and we were. We were moving the ball. We just didn't get the points down in the red zone that we needed to win the game.
