Yep we were down very late in a game where we without Kittle and Sanders, where the run game struggled mightily due to AZ selling out to stop it and where we had a million dropped passes and receivers who were not getting open. Jimmy also threw 2 picks which were also costly.
Context matters and your take on the game omits all context.
In that AZ game, You could add in some s**tty PI calls especially first series of the game...they weren't gonna put any pts up until a trash PI challenge which almost never gets changed put them on the 4 yard line...our D stuffed them (I thought we couldn't stop the run) and they got a FG. Still trash.
We kind of sleepwalked through the 1st quarter. Probably because of the hard fought letdown against Seattle, and also a short week. The first game was a really short week on Thursday where we lost Kittle to start the game which kind of threw our offense off for a while. Plus they are a division opponent which always seem to be close.
They are riding a high right now after the Packers game, so if the Ravens are expecting the same type of play that we did against the Cardinals, they are going to be in for a rude awakening.
