I actually think we would've had a decent chance at winning the game if we would've had more of a emphasis to make that a run heavy game. Then add in the weather i think it was what we really needed. Burrow was a lot closer to a record than I would've like with 31 attempts for 80 whatever yards. Not saying a run heavy approach is what we should do this week or even most weeks but when it's called for we need to be able stick with it. Even if it's ugly at times.

We had one series that put together 2 1st down good runs, he had ove half our runs in 1st half go for 3 yards or less, that was not a way to sustain drives in 1st half so hence not many carries and 1st downs. On the flip side probably half Browns run were over 5 yards a carry which helped continue drives.
