What happened

A blocked A.Cole punt recovered at the LV 8, a G.Smith interception by L.Latu, and a T.Warren touchdown reception all inside the same brutal second quarter — the game was decided before halftime, and 6-40 is just the receipt. The deep ball to A.Jeanty hinted at something, then evaporated. Twenty-six-year fans questioning whether they still like football isn't a hot take anymore; it's the actual condition of this fanbase in October.
