Two decent blocks and that is a touchdown.

IIRC the blockers were there,  but the carrier just ran past them instead of running behind them and letting them do the work for him.  That was a loss of an opportunity, but still better than punting.

Yes it was.  But you need to have balls for a full 60 minutes and KOC kinda failed in that department imho.

They ran the same play against the Chiefs. I think it was the Chiefs. If that play is an audible that is activated by where the outside rusher is playing, it's going to be very hard to stop.

They won't stop it if Chandler gets the ball. And the option is there with Ryan Wright to pass as well.
