While Giddens rushed for a 6-yard touchdown late in the second quarter, he also once again showed his continued struggles in pass protection, completely whiffing on a block—which directly led to Leonard's interception denoted above.

DJ Giddens has been limited with a hamstring injury and appears to have lost the RB2 job to rookie Seth McGowan.
