Were motivated. The defense held them below their season averages.
I don't think Jake threw an atrocious pass because of lack of motivation. Was he not motivated when he threw the same exact pass with the same result last week?
Was JR not motivated when he jumped on the loose ball and it squirted away? If anything he was probably too motivated and panicked and rushed himself.
Those two plays alone were the difference in a 10-14 point swing and determined the game.
If we won by 10 would you be questioning their motivation?
