Riq tackling Warren at the 5 on the long run (was really a short passing play that he took 75 yards). If Riq doesn’t make that tackle andWarren goes in for a touchdown there, there is no interception in the end zone by Seattle and the game is completely different. Great effort play by Riq and want to give credit where credit is due..

I forgot to send you the memo. Only bashing Riq is allowed around here.

It was a frustrating play but the stop and the following plays really swung the game. Nice catch.

Which OLB was that? I don’t know if it was Knight but, that was a very poor attempt at tackling.

Literally threw his arms out and was like…’fugg it’.

Maybe Knight? I couldn’t catch the number..it looked like #43 but…with my eyes, it could’ve been #48.

Nonetheless, MM will be on that azz.

Dude must know he's walking the line. Coaches or teammates get in his ear perhaps? Great play, but like a handful of others on this roster, can he maintain consistency? Time will tell.

Riq has screwed up big in some recent games. But we absolutely needed him in this game, due to the injuries. If our secondary had been porous, we would have lost that game.

Luckily, they didn't test him. And he seemed to do a good job of distracting DK.

We had to have him deliver this game, and he did.

Woolen has a boatload of talent but too often it looks like he doesn’t put on the effort and just expects his athleticism to carry him. That’s fine in high school and even somewhat in college but it’ll burn you too often at this level.

Can somebody post that play? It felt like the play that would never end.

For me the key underrated play of the game occored with about 6:30 left in the 4th quarter. Pitt just kicked a FG to make it a 1 score game at 24-17. We are looking at 3rd and 9. Darnold spins out of trouble, rolls to his LEFT and throws a beautiful touch pass to Barner. So clutch. We'd go on to score a TD later that drive that pretty much sealed the win.

Can someone see if Riq missed a tackle earlier on that play and he had to chase it down? It seems a lot of missed tackles on that play.

I was going to put this as another underrated play as well, but decided just to stay with the Riq tackle. The spin move was really amazing.

As much as I have been on Riq, he played a solid game overall. That "effort" on one of DK's catches though, looked very lazy. Glad that wasn't the trend the rest of the game.
