He had six deep attempts in that second game.

You're going to miss some.

You're going to have some three and outs.

You understand that.

But if you can get that hit between the linebackers and you get Pukunekua running in space, the Seahawks are not accustomed to dealing with that degree of explosive passes, right?

They've been one of the best defenses in preventing explosives over the last 15 years, not just the last year.

And so you look at your guy in Stafford, who obviously were four years removed or five years removed from the golf trade and like, oh, this will allow you to do more in the dropback game and like how he changed the offense.

But you look at your guy in Stafford and you say, the reason we play postseason football, the reason we're here this late in the season is because you are capable of making throws

that a lot of guys aren't.

And we're going to ask you to make those throws, spectacular ones, to Pukunukuwa over the middle of the field, take advantage of these linebackers, and that's how we're going to win.

Now, did you watch the Panthers game?

Did you watch the Bears game?

Stafford not necessarily hitting the way he was hitting a month, two months ago.

So that's a little bit of a thinner conversation, but it's what you got to do.

You have to try to punch these Seahawks where they're strong because you can't play their game defensively.

They're too good.

And they're the best short yardage defense in football on downs of two and less.

They have like a 52% conversion rate allowed.

It's unbelievable.

They're unbelievable.
