They had 26 total first downs, we had 25.
They had 4 drives start in our territory. We had one start in their's.
Out of 13 drives 10 of ours started between our endzone and the 20 yd line.
Out of 14 drives 5 of theirs started between their EZ and the 20yd line.
Our 1st 3 drives ended fumble, interception, safety. Theirs ended Fumble, FG, TD
McCoy is an elite elusive back. He got 184 yds. The one thing that Reid never did was use McCoy like a workhorse. If Kelly does, than that's a point in his favor.
I just think putting this loss on the defense, when they got a TD recovery, and late set us up deep in their territory is mis-focused.
