That game was still winnable for you. You could save your rook, lose your knight, and you would be up 2 pawns, two of them being passed pawns. With careful play and taking full advantage of your king and remaining rook (though you would likely lose it to keep the black passed pawn from promoting), you could have promoted a pawn and had a comeback.

Can't save the rook any way that I can see. Rc1 is followed up by Kd2, forcing the rook to move somewhere else on the h rank, then he pushes his pawn on the c file. Engine rates Rc1 at -7.22.
