Penalties led to every bad thing that happened. Lose our best pass rusher 3 plays in. Drives extended by penalties. Penalties turn 1st and 10 into 15-20. There were situations early in the 3rd where we were running the ball fine. Then get backed up and CJC panics and decides he can’t run it. The line wasn’t great blocking, but it was the penalties started the wave of bad in the second half. You can pound the rock for 2-3 yards a carry as long as you aren’t chasing the sticks on first down. I actually felt better about our team the second time I watched.
