There were really two blemishes on the Sunday afternoon 25-3 win over the Cowboys.
The first was the dirty hit by Jon Bostic on the Cowboys quarterback, Andy Dalton, as he was sliding to give himself up. The problem wasn’t so much that the stupid play extended a Dallas drive that would have otherwise been stopped, but that Bostic delivered an inexcusable hit on an opposing player that was absolutely dangerous. He was ejected from the game, and he deserved to be.
The second blemish was yet another missed field goal attempt by Dustin Hopkins.
