On that 4th and 1, Riley screwed up the call. I honestly don't know what he was thinking. I was even wondering if they ran the right play. He called a time out, and during that he cooked up and called a handoff to a running back that was to run unblocked? As in no blockers? With the defensive line stacked? WTPF? He had both big backs in there and had Jalen hand it off to the first one.That pick 6 wasn't entirely Hurts's fault--Lamb slipped on his cut. It wasn't much, but it was enough for him to not be where he was supposed to be when the ball got there. In the post-game show, Riley took part of the blame, too, saying his play didn't give Hurts the best chance for success (or something to that effect).
The defense actually played fairly well, only giving up 17 points and 204yds of total offense, not to mention coming up with that INT when they needed a stop. If the offense could just hold onto the dang ball...
He really hurt the lead and made the game close.Hurts with 3 turnovers in each of the last two games have been costly. Thank goodness the defense has been able to get an int at the end of each game to seal it.
