What happened

The turning point wore No. 90: C.Rush's short right toward Bi.Robinson landed in T.Watt's hands and went 35 yards the other way, a pick-six that turned a manageable afternoon into a loss. The Brisker interception in the second quarter already telegraphed it, and A.Highsmith's fourth-quarter sack sealed the tone. The defense forced a fumble and watched C.Boswell shank a 56-yarder — and it still wasn't enough to survive the quarterback.
