"Obviously we did not do a good job in the passing game."The analytic website Pro Football Focus, in fact, gave Hoyer a brutal grade for the game."Hoyer was provided solid protection for the majority of the game (under pressure in just five attempts) but was unable to find open targets, throwing for just 99 yards," wrote PFF.
