Notes & reviews

  • Brown made a great stop ranging far to his left, but his off-balance throw drew Fletcher off the bag. Dinges was sent spinning by Fletcher's unintentional body block, but managed to crawl back to the bag safely.
  • Brown limped off the field having injured his leg making the play on Dinges.
