I thought it was a deep dive into Lawrence Tynes' ancestry, which is Scottish.
Cyrus Jones - Super Bowl LIII MVP. Meanwhile, this year Pats had 2 rookies who played major roles in Mitchell/Thuney and another couple of rookies who played minor roles in Valentine/Roberts. Valentine probably would have played more if he had been healthy. And there's Brissett who started and won a game at QB. Not too shabby for a team without a 1st rounder.
And as far as guys who didn't play much of a role this year, Ted Karras didn't play down the stretch but started the first two weeks and stuck as the team's only interior backup most of the season. And D.J. Foster effectively redshirted but his skill set suggests a Dion Lewis replacement down the line.
Agreed. They were the top offense and 7th ranked D. What's funny is how it's basically forgotten (outside of Philly, anyway) that the 2004 Eagles team was very good, too. 2nd in offense, 8th in defense.
A lot like 49. Until the 40 plus yard catch by Matthews with 26 minutes gone in the game, Wilson was 1-3 with two sacks and with the longest play from scrimmage being a 7-yard scramble.
Good stuff. You could actually kind of make the case that the 3.7 point average margin of victory is not reflective of how close the games have been. Points in overtime are weird in the playoffs, because someone has to get them and the final margin can't be closer than 6 or 3. If you just look at the score at the end of regulation, the average margin has been like 2.8 points in the seven games.
