They are, however, the best red zone offense (75% conversion rate) and have a league-low four giveaways, two main factors in their 8-2 record.

«I guess I get a lot of attention when things are going well and when things are not going so well,» Hurts said. «I never run away from holding myself accountable, and I think that's exactly what I've taken the approach of doing.

»I take great pride in what we do on offense. I take great pride in how we go out there and play as a team and what our flow is. I think we've got work to do, and that obviously starts with me. That's always my approach. That's always me looking
