They failed to produce the red zone up until early in the 4th quarter.When they made a rare huge play in the very first three quarters, it was either voided by fine (a 46-yard Courtland Sutton catch-and-run) or complied with through a blunder of some kind.Nix entered the fourth one-fourth 4 of 14 for 27 yards, the selection as well as a sack. The outburst ultimately received it going on a 95-yard goal travel to avoid the very first home shutout in franchise background.PROTECTION-- C-.The first-possession personal injury to Pat Surtain II is good for concerning a total letter quality contour. Shedding maybe the best section in the activity is actually a dish for a challenging day at the workplace per se. But no matter the influence of that loss, you can't permit a crew that doesn't have a prominent recipient turn 11 of its own first 14 third-down efforts. You can't quit a 20-play drive.
