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.
It would negate the pass rush if the Chargers were getting there with LBs on blitzes but they weren’t. They were getting there with their DL. Moving guys out wide doesn’t negate that type of pass rush it just leaves your QB on an island.
