Personally, I think we were pretty fortunate "hold" them to 19. That 14 play drive that started on our 48 and ate up 8:34... we were lucky that wasn't a TD given up. They were gashing us up the middle. 2nd at 2 they run wide, and lose 8 yards. Stay behind Nelson up the middle, and that is most likey a TD drive. (Damn good thing that drive started in our territory. If they had started inside their 20, that may have resulted in the longest drive time wise and play wise in NFL history)
Last drive of the game for them, the settled for the FG by running wide again on 3rd and a half of a yard. FG on 4th gave them the 2 score lead which was insurmountable.
They easily could have had 27 instead of 19 if they had wanted/needed to.
