They looked pretty bad at the beginning of the game, and the talent disparity is pretty clear. But they tightened things up a bit, and Tua decided to help out too.
Put up 7 on the opening drive of the 2nd half and this one will be all but out of reach. Put up 3 and it will be very difficult for Miami to come back.
Yea, based on what we've seen I don't anticipate any goal line rushes by him unless the game is on the line (and even then maybe not, seems like a fumble risk).
Some combination of the mix of audio and the cadence of the announcers makes everything extremely flat. I don't think it is all Al Michaels being old. It's the whole production.
