I was probably wrong for saying "garbage time", but we were definitely playing catchup. How many runs did we have in the 4th quarter?
Down by 10 in the 4th isn't exactly a small margin. That's why we were passing exclusively.
First 3 quarters: 3 catches, 72 yards (24 yard avg)
4th quarter: 5 catches, 60 yards (12 yard avg)
The stats tell the story. The Chargers softened their coverage late and gave up some shorter throws to eat clock. We passed a ton and padded MLJ's stats (Dalton's as well). The game was essentially over once the Chargers were up 10. With the way Dalton was turning it over and our D was unable to stop the run, we had little chance of a come back.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
