Cobb, who finished the game with just four receptions for 23 yards after catching 13 passes for 172 yards in the first two weeks, said the game-long rain showers had nothing to do with his ball insecurity. Wearing a wrap on his right wrist as he spoke on Monday, he said that didn’t factor into it, either.

“It’s all on me,” he said. “No reason to cite anything else.”

Asked if Sunday had been the worst game of his NFL career, Cobb racked his brain and came up empty. He couldn’t remember a game in college at Kentucky in which he’d made so many crucial mistakes, either. In eight seasons, he’s been far more likely to make big plays in critical situations than fail to make them.

“Watching the film, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. But it was the critical moments. I’ve never felt like I’ve had situations like that in critical situations,” Cobb said. “It’s disappointing anytime you drop the ball. You just move forward. There’s a lot of football left to be played. I hope by the end of the season that we’re not talking about this game and these moments. I hope I come back from this.

“Bad things happen in life and you move forward. You use these mistakes and learn from them and correct what I felt I did wrong and move forward.”
