It's actually more obvious on replay than it was live how much it affected the game. Thomas and Robertson in particular, and even Hurd missed a couple blocks to let guys in on Dobbs.

One thing I wonder is what Jones would say happened on the Dobbs interception - App St. showed 7 guys bringing pressure and ultimately 6 guys rushed. Kamara ran to the left flat rather than help protect so it was 6 on 5. It was 3 on 2 on the right side of the line - BK and DW. Law the linebacker got through unblocked but actually all 3 of them got past and were chasing Dobbs to the right. App St. did a great job of covering up the short route on the right side, and the 7th guy in the box ran with Kamara on the left. It was a disaster of a play before Dobbs made his terrible decision. No timeouts left, I think they would've called one if they could.

Obviously Dobbs needs to throw it into the stands. But I wonder if DW and BK could have at least blocked their guys if Dobbs can run away from Law and get the 2 yards. Or if Kamara should have stayed to block. Really curious how that should have worked out because it was a mess.
