I think it was a fair question. Anderson overreacted.
Could've just said, "I'm not going to go into specifics on a private conversation, but you're right, I was smiling...that said, he and I were 100% focused on the game, and I don't think there's anything wrong with a bit of levity in football...it's a game and as a leader on this team, I try to make sure we're having fun and enjoying each and every one of these we're privileged enough to play in ...but again, there's obviously nothing funny about losing and I hope it wasn't interpreted that way. Next question..."
