- Monken emphasized the need to review game film and consult with staff to understand offensive struggles, citing issues with alignment, assignments, and communication among players.
- Third-string QB Dillon Gabriel's poor performance in the final drive, marked by multiple false starts, highlighted the team's offensive difficulties and frustration.
- Monken praised Shedeur Sanders for his strong cadence and control of the offense, suggesting Sanders is improving and could be favored as the starter.
- Despite recent signs favoring veteran Deshaun Watson as starter, Monken expressed disappointment with offensive execution under Watson, and fan boos against Watson may influence the final decision.
