Receiver Tavon Austin has a team-best 36 receptions, two for touchdowns.
“For the most part,” he said. “I think I’ve been doing OK this year.”
But Austin, who signed a four-year, $42-million extension in August, wants to rebound from what he described as his toughest game of the season.
Austin caught a team-best 10 passes against the Giants, including one for a touchdown. But he totaled only 57 receiving yards. And a pass from quarterback Case Keenum bounced off his hands and into the arms of safety Landon Collins, who returned the interception for a touchdown.
“Mentally, I wasn’t in it,” he said of the game. “But I’ve been seeing a lot of different things towards double teams and stuff like that.”
Asked why he was not mentally into the game, Austin said, “I just know myself, and I wasn’t really into myself. No excuses.”
It was all 3 receivers that game.
IMO? They were enjoying London and did not have their heads in the game.

Perhaps, zn.
But still inexcusable.
Tavon's extension was a mistake. A big one, at that. One that the next HC is gonna have to live with, I'm afraid.
Both the draft day Tavon tradeup and the extension have Fisher's fingerprints all over them.
So frustrating...
