The first four field goal tries, the Pats were trying to score TDs and got held to a field goal try. On the last score, they were no longer trying to score a TD, they were running out the clock. So our defense didn't "hold" them to a TD try.
As Gronk was being tackled, I turned to my brother and said it would have been better to have let him get the TD. We would have 45 seconds to try and come back and tie the game with a TD instead of having them kicking a field goal on the final play.
But regardless, in the Indy game, KC forced one field goal. All the other possessions by Indy resulted in TDs. Think about that one. So until we give up a TD on every single possession, the defense is not worse than 2003.
