The big difference in that game was 3rd down.

We made numerous plays for 7 or more yards on 3rd down, converting an outlandish number of those - especially compared to our previous games.

I wonder if some of this is just random variation.  WE were downright awful in third down conversions in our first two games (like, historically awful).  Did something change, or were the first two games really unlucky, and the fourth game lucky?

I don't have a clue, but I do know that you can't rely on converting 3rd & long to win games with any kind of consistency.

The team played great, but they have to find a way to be in these situations far less often. It's not a winning formula.
