Coach Maurice: What did he think of his chances for his team in the offensive zone? How did the loss of Adam Lowry impact his group? Any update on Lowry? On the poor start by the Jets. How does he manage the feeling of “we did some good” but obviously they didn’t win the game? The players having a players only meeting. On the players trying to stay positive.
