It's 27 - 10 with 2 minutes to go and the team that has been dominated basically the entire game, their offense was awful and scored their first TD on a short field turnover. They drive down in "garbage time" vs. a prevent defense and tack on another TD 27 - 17, you see the score and think oh they held their own. But that's not the real story.
In the same vein, I remember seeing a year where Phillip Rivers was having tons of yards and TDs, but it was because the team was so behind in the fourth, against a soft defense, he was racking up stats week after week.

Blake Bortles did it with Allen Robinson and Hurns too.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
