Mike Glennon was starting to post some nice numbers mainly to Vincent Jackson but there were too many mistakes across all aspects of the performance to allow anything but a sixth straight loss. One late drive that resulted in Rian Lindell’s 41-yard fieldgoal was at the end of a marathon 18-play drive in over nine minutes.
