There were four straight series in the second half in which we ran on first and second down to no effect, when it was clear we needed to give Campbell a little breathing room within which to work. That was a mistake. Even Madden commented on how we weren't helping JC by putting him in these 3rd and 6 situations consistently.

That was really the game. The defense got it together and did what it had to, but we couldn't move the ball on those initial critical second half possessions.
