In the grand scheme of things, everything is fine.
Sunday’s 36-33 loss to the Commanders in the nation’s capitol was annoying and frustrating. After building up a 14-0 and 21-7 first quarter lead, it’s hard to believe the NFL’s No. 1 defense allowed 22 fourth-quarter points and become the first team since 2010 to score 30+ and create 5+ turnovers and still lose, but lose they did.
Just like against the Falcons on Monday Night Football in Week 2, they couldn’t secure a gimme catch to salt the game away and couldn’t stop an opponent from driving the length of the field to score a go-ahead touchdown with seconds remaining.
