We were not the better team.

But of course the glaring receiver issues stand out and rightfully so. We can’t just hand wave those away though as they aren’t going to change this season and say “if they just played better…” it’s a huge part of our team given we are a passing team.

Most games don't have 2 red zone turnovers and 5+ drops in the same game. Yes, that combination of mistakes is surprising. It took all of those things happening in a single game for us to lose.
