CLEVELAND, Ohio - Browns head coach Mike Pettine met with reporters Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium after his team suffered a 25-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Pettine was asked about the outstanding play by his defense, the struggles of quarterback Brian Hoyer and the offense, and what's ahead. Here are the highlights of his comments:

Will there be a change at QB?

"I haven't even thought about it. It's something we'll get together and discuss. It's too fresh after this one."

The play of Brian Hoyer

"He did not play well enough for us to win. The entire team did not play well enough for us to win."

Did he consider a QB change during the game

"No, did not. Did not consider a change during the game."

Play of the Browns defense at the end

"They got the interference call. That was the bulk of the yardage on that drive."

Last-minute pass to Gordon

"I was looking more at the protection first. I wasn't looking at the route."

Why Gordon's reps were down

"The rotation that they talked about.. . we wanted to get Josh's reps down a little bit, get Travis (Benjamin) and (Taylor) Gabriel, get their reps back up a little bit."

Billy Cundiff's struggles

"It's obviously concerning. When you have a chance to put points on the board, you have to convert."

The roughing-the-passer call on Paul Kruger

"I'm not going to judge whether calls are good. My kids will be mad at me for having money deducted out of my paycheck. We have a mechanism for calls . . .that includes feedback from the crew. That's something that's handle internal. We won't discuss it publicly."

Four turnovers by the defense

"Obviously need to put a shout out to Justin Gilbert. For him to come off the sideline cold when K'Waun (Williams) got hurt.. . . very proud of Justin. It was a tough week. He had a great week of practice and it showed in the game."

Was Hoyer looking over his shoulder this week?

"No. We just made a decision and moved on. We thought it was business as usual and we moved on."

Did Browns defense wear down at the end?

"We talked about having to play complementary football (contributions from offense, defense, special teams). That's too good of a team to put that quarterback out there that many times. We had too many drives where we had a chance to get points, we went three and out and had to punt. . .That's the frustrating thing. It's wasted opportunities."

Whether Hoyer's play makes the QB decision easier for Cincinnati

"I'm not going to speak on the quarterback decision at this point."

What's ahead

"It's an opportunity that we let go. It's a kick in the gut. We know our margin for error is now zero. We have to win our last three or we're done."
