(Opening comments…) We'll start off with congratulating Seattle. It was a heck of a football game. They obviously played a little bit better than we did and deserved to win. They have a good football team. They have a great quarterback. I'm glad that we only have to play him once every four years. I think he's a tremendous player. They have a lot of good players. In the end, we just came up a little bit short and I'm proud of the way that our guys competed here. We just didn't quite have enough.

(On what he saw from Cam Newton and the attempted comeback at the end…) I thought Cam competed hard. We scored, covered the kick off, got the ball back and got it to the one yard line. Seattle made a good play. I'll give them credit, they deserve the win.

(On how he would assess the offensive line today…) We competed hard, we did a lot of things well, we just came up a little bit short. There were good things in the game, but we just weren't good enough. Seattle was a little bit better. They deserve credit for that.

(On his thoughts on James White after his father's car accident…) Of course our hearts go out to him.

(On the decision making on the final play at the goal line…) It was about what you would think it would be. We had one play to score and we tried to go with what we thought was our best play. What else is there to think about.

(On if execution was lacking on the final play…) No, I said at the beginning that I think Seattle made a good play. I think I said that at the beginning of this.

(On if the plays that Russell Wilson made were the difference in the game…) Russell Wilson is a great player. He does everything well. He's extremely hard to defend and he hurt us tonight in pretty much every way possible. He's very difficult to handle. They have some very good weapons with him that he can use - the running game, [Duane] Brown on the offensive line, they got the ball outside. He made three great throws on the three long touchdowns. Two of which were very well defended, the other one wasn't bad, he had a guy right in his face and he still made a great throw. You just have to give him credit. He definitely stressed us a lot with his scrambles and his long balls, his accuracies on the zones. He just did everything well. He's very, very hard to defend.

(On if N'Keal Harry took a step forward on his toughness tonight…) I think N'Keal is a tough guy. I think our team took a big step in terms of just the competition and the way we battled and competed against Seattle. I was just disappointed that we came up short but the competitive level is high, we just have to coach better, play better and get things a little bit different, a little bit better to win a game like this instead of coming up a yard short. I think our team stepped up collectively as a team and competed again right down to the end, to the last four minutes of the game. The offensive drive, the kick off coverage, the defensive stop, the offensive drive again. We did a lot of things right there. And unfortunately it just wasn't quite enough.

(On Cam Newton's composure while trailing by a couple of scores…) I thought that our team competed hard throughout the game. Cam, the entire offense, the coaching staff, the defense. They made plays against us. We made some plays against them. The game went back and forth. It was a multitude of battles within the game. They won some and we won some. I thought we competed right from the opening kick off to the final whistle. We just came up a little bit short and it's the same thing that happened in 2016.
