Jaycee Horn talks Saints loss while focusing on improvement

On Johnson's 30-yard touchdown, the veteran tight end was wide open after Horn slipped and fell.

"I talked to the defense after the game and just told them don't lose their confidence," Horn shared. "We got to keep our mojo because they all played their ass off. I let them down today; two big plays that cost us the game. That's it. I feel like everybody else played good.

"I'm one of the leaders of this team. I'm one of the highest-paid guys on this team, and I've got to be better."

For those teammates, it was encouraging to hear their leader take ownership and responsibility. However, as far as linebacker Christian Rozeboom sees it, they win together, they lose together, and two plays do not a loss make.

"Jaycee taking ownership of that is, it's obviously impressive and a lot of respect for him, but there are 11 guys on the field, and there are plays that could have been made before that, plays that could have been made after that.

"Good, bad, or otherwise, there are 11 guys and a lot of plays in a football game, and you never really know which one kind of makes the difference until you watch the film. And obviously explosive plays the kind of things that stick out, but there's there's stuff all of us can be better at."
