Instead they allowed a 4 minute scoring drive that all but ended the game. That drive wasn't off a turnover. We didn't give them a short field. It didn't matter though. The defense shares SOME of the blame.

The difference is 4-7 points PER TIME. So 8-14 points this game. Does that seem like a material number of points to you?

It took a miracle catch in double coverage on 3rd and long to get them there.

Nobody should be blaming the defense at all. Take away the two red zone gifts…
