“We got blocked. Yeah, they blocked us,” Carroll said about the explosive return a day after Sunday’s gagme. “And Tommy (Eichenberg) who has had a terrific finish to this season on special teams, had a chance on the play. Jonny Rhattigan had a chance on the play, some guys had shots at it, and they blocked us really well and they hit it exactly right. The kick was just right for them to hit it full go. And all those factored into it, the guy came ripping through us.
“It was really a change in the game. 20-10 with a good drive, we didn’t get to feel it very long, but we felt like that was the statement we needed to make to build a comeback and then to be smacked in the teeth with that one, that was a tough one to take.”
