What happened

Three takeaways and the offense still mustered only six points, which is its own kind of indictment. The W.Anderson strip-sack of A.Rodgers at the PIT 33 in the fourth was the moment hope formally checked out, but B.Echols' interception at the 4 in the third should have been a launching pad and instead produced nothing. When the defense hands you that gift and the scoreboard stays stuck, the conversation stops being about players.
