Lift and downforce are perpendicular to velocity, where drag is parallel (aka slowing force). I can see what he means by it, because the drag does want to force it down at a given speed

(invision your hand out the window of a car @ 60 miles an hour… straight it cuts thru the air… turn it at a 45\* angle and it wants to force it down, and back)
