If Smith continues to play at this rate, our defense is rested up, and we can continue to see improvements from Cooper and our young guys, maybe we can steal a game or two in the playoffs. And fully understand that while I'm pleased with Smith's growth, he has to close drives late in games too.

That has actually been one of his strengths in the past. But of course, it's not going to happen every time. Over all, he played a pretty damn good game I thought. And while every QB has to deal with drops, the number of drops he had to deal with on Sunday was just ridiculous.
