Enh, I was disturbed by the mismatch on both lines, I wouldn't leave it at the QB position at all.

Our pass protection looked good, and we didn't do all that badly running either (3.4 ypc isn't great but it's not horrible). DL sure, we had no pressure, but we had reason to believe that would happen coming in.

So I dunno, I don't think we were really all that badly mismatched except our DL on their OL. And of course they have a #1 overall draft pick at QB which hurts us quite a bit. I'm not saying that Mariota is worth 29 points, but he was definitely worth a couple of their early conversions, and since that game spiraled out of a control I think it's fair to say he was most of our problem.
