Three of 13 on third down, 0 of three on fourth down, 0 of 4 within the purple zone, solely gave up 5 explosives. Three sudden adjustments actually defensively needed to go on the market and have been in a position to maintain them again. That is important, that is important. So, simply cannot say sufficient good issues.”
