They’re in the game even with wasted red zone possessions. Hard to imagine that any of us wouldn’t have taken being down one point at halftime as a worst case scenario. But that’s basically where the game stands after two quarters.
The offense needs to figure out how to put the ball in the end zone, preferably a couple times. Can’t expect too much more from the defense than forcing an empty possession or two. Both of those scenarios aren’t impossible. The game is there to be taken.
