Why does it matter if the game was over by half time when the starters played the entire game? How many players couldn't physically finish the 4 quarter game due to the cold conditions? We saw on TV, players bodies physically weren't able to play and were exhausted. We had James Cook and Quentin Morris playing WR because we had nothing else on that last drive.
Both teams didn't play in the same conditions. When the Dolphins came off the field, they got to sit in shade. Our players didn't. Tua himself pregame talked about that advantage.
Yes we blew a chance. We had opportunities to win it. However when you're losing players because of the heat, it's a significant disadvantage. I'm not blaming only the weather but it played a major part in it.
