Can someone please explain the Ross benching last game?

On the other side of the coin...with the offense struggling, it's curious that coaches would bench a guy with game changing speed. Like if Randy Moss as a rookie fumbled, I think no coach would bench him.

I'll agree it was more bad luck than anything that led to the fumble, but after our performance in game 1 I can understand why tolerance for turning the ball over would be pretty low at the time.
