That's just a bit of a recurring theme I don't care for from Sutton. We saw it against Indy and Tennessee. And to an extent the Steelers. Not getting the stop when you need to stop.

I mean think about how many close games we won because Peters ripped a ball out or Berry picked off a 2pt conversion and ran it back? thre's been a lot of close games we've lost because the defense couldn't lock it down for a drive. and I blame it more on play calling than anything.

Didn't that good defense just give up a go ahead drive under 2 minutes?
