How much of that was in the 4th quarter when we were playing catch up, we totally abandoned the running game and were forced to pass?

That was in the 3rd qtr that it was flashed... Catchup has nothing to do with not protecting the QB.

To me, the first pick-6 was 90% on Drew (the other 10% being a great play by the defender).

The second pick-6 was a team effort. Drew had to rush his throw because of lack of protection. Despite that, he threw a ball that was high, but catchable. Colston got annihilated and couldn't hold make the catch (still not sure how that wasn't a hit on a defenseless receiver...I really don't get that rule sometimes). After the pick it seemed like no one on the team even tried to make the tackle.

I still don't get why we seem to give up on the run so quickly. We were averaging, what, 3-4 yards/carry? Not exactly burning up the stat sheet, but enough to keep defenses honest.

Rule 1 for receivers from Highschool up... If it hits your hands you better catch it.

The ball is out of Colstons hands before he is hit. That black dot on top of the 0 on the 40 is the ball already out of his hands.

He was defensless but it was not knocked out of his hands.
