- 'Zo starting was a good idea

Great point. If we hadn't spotted the Rams 14 points to start the game last week, it argueably could've been different. Just like giving them 14 points to start the game last week is what changed the game, us coming out and scoring 14 to start gave us a boost, and our defense played good enough to hold that lead throughout.

And the running game showed up. It made a big difference because McNabb was basically shut down in the second half, and the running game was doing good enough to keep drives going and eat up clock. If they shut down our running game, there's a good chance we see a lot more 3 and outs in the second half and they come back to win this game.

Still plenty of negatives but this time we did make enough plays when we had to in order to win.
