So first off, as @HappyDays was educating me about, we get 3 drops only if we count a “no play” due to a DH penalty giving us a 1st down. We didn’t punt; Dawson Knox caught a pass and scored a TD on the next play. And it wasn’t a 3rd down, it was a first down.
Yes, McKenzie failed to haul in 2 passes on 3rd down. Where was he, where were the sticks, where was the defender? If he single-handedly stopped the drives, what happened on 1st and 2nd down? Were those also incomplete passes to McKenzie?
3rd and 16 on the Buffalo 12 yd line after an ineligible downfield on Morse, holding penalty on Dawkins and Saffold 1st and 15, 1st and 20, 2nd and 20, 3rd and 16 - yeah that sounds like “McKenzie single-handedly stopped the drive” on a pass short left. Unclear he would have had the 1st if he caught it But we did punt, so that’s 1 of your 3 confirmed.
3rd and 3 on the Jets 20, McKenzie failed to haul in the pass, we kicked a FG.
Narrative changes what we perceive.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled tar and pitchfork session.
