came convert false fight game goes good half hard lead looks lose pressure protection second start third
Early, I thought our protection and the things we did were good. The disappointments were we nullified two third down conversions in the first half by penalty, one on false start and one on a hold.

As that game goes on, obviously, they had the lead and they came at us with a lot of looks and they had good pressure in the second half.
