Re-watching the game now, you're right on both counts.
Chandler whiffed awfully and let Hardy tackle Freddie's feet so he could not advance further, really emabarrassing for a professional player, on the next play Urbik is the eligible tackle and got stood up by a DE. If he drives his guy the RB doesn't have to side step and get tackled.
i would have like to see the coaches put the ball on EJ's hands on that red zone series, get the timing with his new WRs down.
