The first and last turnovers were the killers though. You can't get the ball in the red zone and not score. Happened twice, difference in the game and you can't blame the defense for that. Especially when you have a QB that is supposed to be one of the best in the league and a TE you just paid huge money to keep a year ago.

it was 4th and long, so that was unlikely. But they called a high risk high reward play there on the WR screen on 3rd down which went for 0 yards. A 5 yard gain up the middle would have been better. Wouldn't have got the first but would have been the difference in the miss.
It's asking a bit much to ask a 45 year old kicker to hit from 55. He hit all the others.
