See, I just didn't see it that way. I especially didn't see it that way early on. There were times, particularly in the second half, but in spots in the first half, where we did get some pressure, but I clearly recall Cousins standing tall in the pocket with ample time to survey they field, and he too frequently found wide open WRs.

But Davenport is getting better and there were times when we did disrupt them. We're definitely better now than earlier in the season. I want to see us dominate somebody. I may be asking too much.

This was talked about by Jordan after the game. They dialed up the pressure as the game progressed. So Cousins gets comfortable, then we steadily crank it until the dial is way up there. All the laser timed throws he makes without thinking, just putting it in a spot starts becoming a problem. We slowly took that away. His go to muscle memory routes were gone.
