True, but small bright side is it was 175 yards in 5 quarters. That's an important distinction. Also 175 is still less than their 185 season average... so improvement? Lol

Really it was QB scrambles that killed them:
Wentz ran it 9/65(7.2)
Everyone else ran it 27/110(4.1)

I think the QB scrambles were a failure in game planning. That's actually a career high in rushing yards for him, and he hasn't ran for more than 35 yards since the start of 2018 and only more than 30 twice. Don't know if they expected to see that out of him.
