In one of the easiest touchdowns you’ll ever see, Baltimore Ravens running scampered into the end zone from 16 yards out pretty much unimpeded.
Philadelphia Eagles safety Rodney McLeod has absorbed a lot of the blame for his effort.

Instead of attacking the football, McLeod backpedaled and attempted to wrap Dixon up high. He explained his thought process on the play Monday via CSN Philly.
I felt like I had more space. Obviously, I’m the last line of defense, so my job is to get him on the ground … before the end zone. It was one of those tough plays. If I could change, I would attack a little more and take my shot maybe a little sooner than what I did. I’ve just got to be more aware of where I am on the field … We were in Cover-3. It was a scheme play, and it’s been kind of working against us. The Redskins scored on a play like that. The Ravens ran it at the right moment.
Not good.
