Herbert didn’t shrink though. He wasn’t perfect, but he also had a bunch of receiver drops. I mean that final drive of regulation from him was as “rise to the occasion” as it gets, similar to Burrow against the 49ers.
He threw 30 incomplete passes and averaged 5.98 per attempt. Despite the late game heroics, it was one of his most statistically mediocre games of the year.
Either way, the point is our guy was (much) better in his biggest game of the year than Herbert was.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
