The blitz did not get home with safety Brandon Stephens getting caught up in the wash and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh arriving too late to disrupt Dalton yet taking an unnecessary roughness penalty in the process. Marquise Goodwin beat young cornerback Chris Westry with a double move and Dalton hit him in stride with a 49-yard touchdown.
The play spurred plenty of criticism in the direction of the notoriously aggressive Martindale for leaving Westry, who was making his first career start in place of an injured Anthony Averett, on an island without any safety help.
