I'm more concerned with the last fumble. That is a correctable error which clearly hasn't been corrected from last year. When a team needs just two first downs to win the game, the object is to get to the line to gain and go down. The object is not try to get meaningless extra yards past the line to gain and put the ball on the ground.
But with that said, there was no way that game should have ever come down to either of the last two drives that resulted in turnovers.
