I'm not sure this is a huge step back for them but if they were to fall behind in any game I do think that'll be more difficult.

Exactly.   I think this creates 2 challenges, 

1.) Even if we hold serve the next two games we have still have to beat them.  They're going to craft a diverse running game with a lot of misdirection that will require tons of discipline.    Lloyd and mama have both even caught with their heads on the swivel @ times.  Defense is going to have to be fundamentally sound.  

2.) Expectations.  This is different now.  @ the beginning of the season it was about changing culture, can the kid play, and the possibility of meaningful late game football.  Now were media darlings that are expected to win the AFC south.  That's a different kind of adversity to manage.
