Down to us

Hi.

"It's down to us why we lost the game and why we haven't got anything out of the game tonight." [From the BBC Sport website.]

How should one interpret the idiom "It's down to us" in such a context?

Thank you.

This might be a shortened version of "It comes down to us.", that is, "We are responsible." or "The blame lies with us."
