Didn’t cost them the game. The defense did. Offense scored 27 points. That should be enough to win any game.
oh boy.. you love your man Dak.
I agree the defence struggled today.. there is no way you can cut that cake to make them look good.. they are an underfunded unit.. and we invest very little draft capital into it.. and they are missing (or were by half time) 6 of their starting 11.. so yep the D struggled BIG time today.
Buut.. you know what.. they rallied and created a HUGE turnover to give us back the ball with 1.27 on the clock and a 3pt lead. That should have been game. Instead they had to then go back out onto the field to defend a team who still had a time out and 1 minute to travel 35yards with one of the best young QB prospects in the land. And they NEARLY held that.. it came down to two booth reviews.. and them being able to use that time out that our offence had graciously allowed them to keep.. to score a last minute tying Field goal.
Then.. the defence stepped out and again held the Jags to NO SCORE in OT.. thats right.. they gave the ball back to our highly paid offensive unit.. led by star QB on 40M per year.. or 17% of our cap.. and any score would win.. and our stud RB picks up 25 of the 45 yards we need to get into FG range.. before our QB and WR3 manage to bungle it up and give up a game ending pick 6.
So yeah.. tell me again how the defence lost this game? They gave the offence two gold opportunities to win this game.. and our offence fluffed their lines both times.
