There were exactly two completed passes on that 14 play drive, on only 3 attempts.

4 plays, 23 yards, TD
All runs. I’ll grant the offense gave up the short field, but that doesn’t mean the defense has to let them score. Maybe, just maybe, rush three and drop eight wasn’t the right defense.

9 plays, 78 yards, TD
All runs. Look at that rush three drop eight defense go! It was amazing!



Sure, if our offense had been better we still win, but you already provided an excuse for that. What was the DC’s excuse for repeatedly calling a pass defense against a team that wasn’t even trying to pass the ball?
