On one play Trubisky connects with DJ for a first down. A few plays later, Trubisky threads a needle to DJ… who drops it. A few plays later, Trubisky likes the sideline better than an open receiver.
So close…
On one play Pickens makes an amazing catch. A few plays later, Trubisky wants to get the grass involved. Towards the end of the game, Pickens doesn’t use two hands to reel in a TD.
So close…
On one play, Najee catches a dump off, and runs for a first down. A few plays later, he catches a dump off, and is tackled behind the LOS. Later on Warren takes a screen 30+ yards… only to be brought back due to an illegal man downfield.
So close…
SUMMATION:
Good play
One guy’s mistake.
Another guy’s mistake.
If we can eliminate even one mistake per drive, we win that game last night… and many more throughout the season.
