I think we read this and see this team as capable of the kill we instinct during the regular season of the SB run but the quote sounds more like the playoffs where the defense led us and the offense made timely big plays. Some of this was higher competition, so maybe we shouldn't read so much into the comment. I don't think it's justifying the Ravens game settling for a long FG, but if we see that again then yeah...come back to this comment lol.
I'm trying to remember the plays exactly that led up to the FG attempt. They were well in McPherson's range, but he whiffed it is all I remember.
I do think Brown will get more touches this year, making him a bigger weapon that defenses will have to account for. I guess what I am trying to say is we won't need to always rely on big plays coming from the passing game, maybe they can come from the running game.
