Yeah it was freaking me out because I thought we would slip back to playing that all the time again but it was corrected by the next drive.

For whatever reason we decided to try to bleed clock by letting them get underneath stuff instead of what worked the rest of the game. Very odd decision.

He hasn't made the mistake since so I'm hoping it's all good. I have nightmares of backs running free all over us in the passing game.
