no freebies, which is the Dolphins entire offense basically...
Tua could have 23 yards passing then BOOM! 80 yard TD to Hill and he's over 100 yards and the Dolphins have 7 just like that.
But make them drive and run plays over and over and over and you're going to get a false start, a holding call, a bad throw, a missed block, a fumble. All good for the D
Plus, the closer the game is the less talent differential matters. All it takes is one fumbled punt, ball knocked loose from the QB, a terrible call by the refs, a lucky long pass that connects...
Keep it close, give yourself the chance to benefit from some sort of mistake
