Jonathan Brown

"Jonathan Brown played injured today, and he played hard for a young man that had an injury. I thought he did a great job," Beckman said.

Brown finished with a team-high nine tackles, including 1.5 for loss.

"He's banged up, but he gave us everything he had," defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. "He tried to contribute, tried to lead and do whatever he could to try to will his team to a win. At the end of the day, it obviously wasn't enough."
