About the game. I'll say we owe Ben Johnson for this win tonight. At one point, Gibbs had a 10.2 (finished with 7.5) yards per carry average and yet he continue having Goff throw the ball. Their defense was missing a ton of talent due to injuries and he could have kept that defense off the field by simply running the ball and eating up the clock. This was definitely a case of a coordinator's ego getting the best of him and outsmarting himself instead of keeping it simple.
I simply can't say enough about the offensive side of the ball. Just amazing job all the way around. Defense came through when it was needed.

Johnson did the his offense no favors. You are totally correct that he got way too pass happy. The fact that he called multiple trick plays is embarassing and the last int was justice. Gibbs is an absolute star and Montgomery is very good also. Going pass happy in this game is criminal and fatal in this case. Love Kingsbury's balance of run/pass on our side.
