And at the end of the day Carolina finished on +3 EPA compared to us, and won the game by....3. So there you have it lol And ultimately, they finished with 50-50 time of possession, same number of offensive drives (7 each) and averaged 5 yards per play on offense. IMO if you approached Dave Canales ahead of the game and said "You'll split TOP, split drives, average 5 ypp, and be in position to attempt a game winning field goal at the end," he would HAPPILY take that outcome, make or miss lol</blockquote>
