Our Take

Once again, we were told to believe. We saw a former NFL player, a guy who tackled folks for a living, end up in such a tragic situation. Classic case of the game chewing you up and spitting you out, right? I mean, we’ve all seen this before—the same old tale of players who fade into the shadows. And what do we get? A post-game highlight reel of missed chances and sad social media tributes. Who knew a fumble could turn into such a rough landing? The points will come.
