Only issue I had all day long was the 3rd and 1 in the 3rd quarter where they took the deep shot to AJ where he was OOB. I would have pounded Mixon twice there if need be for the 1st down to establish the OL more and give them confidence.

Ross flails miserably on a TD, Burrow misses AJ on a simple TD pass, they get screwed on a very iffy PI call on AJ and Bullock misses a chippy. Any one of 3-4 plays snatched defeat from the hands of victory.

On that particular play, I remember seeing a RB creeping off into the flat as an outlet. I didn't get a chance to see if a DB was coming up to cover, but if not, he was WIDE OPEN. Even if a back was coming up, it looked like he would have probably been able to at least pick up the yard. There wasn't a defender in view of the camera. Things the rookie will learn to look for.
