Defense did a terrible job getting off the field. 3rd down conversions and a damn 4th and 3 conversion. The roughing penalty was very stupid.
I know we are young but can the defense ever stop a team on third down? Let alone fourth? it’s disheartening.
Issue is that Jimmie Wards backup got exposed. If you are running cover two and your corner is playing underneath leverage then you have to be there over the top. Perfect throw but the defender blew coverage.
The 3rd down throw was rushed, but the other one was just a plain drop. Looks like Cincy is going to blitz a lot in this game so lets see how he handles it (he's done well so far this season).
