On their long TD that ignited their 4th quarter come back, Hayward actually was trying to play the same way and stay aggressive like he was playing earlier in the game, he was reading Jackson anticipating an attack on the ball, and let his guy run right by pass him.
That's why teams try to stay on the safe side in the 4th. In the 4th quarter, defenders don't have enough legs left to make up ground when got beat. No more make up speed. Defense is gassed. 1 miss play equal long and quick TD for the comeback team.
Defenders always suffer more fatigue than offensive players. They are the ones who have to do the tackling, use their whole body strength to wrest the ball carrier down.
