They returned a fumble for a TD.
I threw a pick at my own 20 and they got another TD.
I had 8 sacks, but when I played with the Seahawks, I had 13 through 4, so it isn't normal.
Other than that, I dominated the entire game on defense.
I really need to fix my offense. I picked it up in the 2nd half.
I started stepping up in the pocket and using Ridley as a blocker.
A lot of my rushing attempts were clock management.
