Overall, the team was really bad on 3rd down. 5 of 14 hurts, especially when you fail 4 3rd and shorts on run plays as well as a 3rd and 3 in the 1st, a 3rd and 4 in the 1st and a 3rd and 2 in the 3rd that they failed to convert via pass.
Overall, they were 5 of 12 on third and manageable (manageable being 6 yards or less).
Even worse, they were 2 of 7 on 3rd and short (3 yards or less)
0 for 3 with runs, 2 for 4 when passing, for what it's worth.
You're not going to win a lot of games when you can't nab 3 yards when you need it more than 28.6% of the time.
This.
