But early in the 3rd qtr, after the 1st play bomb to Tee, and immediate interception by Awuzie.  We drive down into the redzone to take total charge of the game.

3rd down and 3 at about the 11.

CJ is wide and Boyd motions out towards CJ.  CJ runs a Go and clears the outside, he actually ends up blocking the safety as if he knew TB was getting the quick hitch.

Boyd has a choice route, his defender has obvious inside leverage, but Boyd goes inside anyway. Joe is cocked and ready to throw to the clear outside but has to pull it back in. Adeniji is bull rushed by AD into Joe for a sack and a FG.

We may or may not had scored had we got this completion, but 1st down  and at the most - 7 yard line with a ton of momentum would had been interesting.

I have to think TB doesnt make these mistakes often, but he had 2 major blunders in a tight SB.

We could this all day for others also.  For example two big plays that cost us from Burrow

1. 4 and 1 on first drive, he forces one to Chase into coverage and Perine is uncovered enough for a easy 1st down, Rams drive down and score
2.  2nd series , 3rd and 4, Evans makes great move gets behind defense open down sideline good chance to go for a TD, Burrow overthrows him. 

Rarely is any player going to play a perfect game so there are going to be multiple plays that could have changed the outcome
