They were better. But by a field goal. And one very lucky play were everyone thought the RB was down, including the Dyer himself.
Yeah, they were on their own 40 with 2 minutes left to play. No chance for them to kick the FG.
The Ducks just didn’t play well enough to give themselves a chance.
It took a Cam fumble, a gift pick play, offsides at the line, and they still needed to convert a 3 and 1, plus the 2 point conversion to tie the game.
