What happened: Jalen Carter got through the protection and blocked an extra-point attempt, keeping the margin at 14-9. The play followed a touchdown that would have trimmed the deficit to four.

Why it matters: The block changed the game math before halftime, leaving a five-point gap instead of a four-point one. That difference can alter whether a later drive needs a touchdown, field goal or two-point try.

By the numbers: Score impact: the blocked PAT kept the score at 14-9 instead of 14-10. Prior context: Carter also had a blocked extra point with 5:15 left in a 13-12 Week 17 win in 2025.

What to watch: Watch whether protection adjusts on the next kick attempt. Carter's interior rush now has special-teams attention, not just defensive-line attention.
