I never saw this game because it was blacked out on local TV. 
Some thoughts though...
- Dillon's record breaking performance (278 yards on 22 carries against a top defense) was more impressive than Jamal Lewis against the lowly Browns (295 yards on 30 carries) or Adrian Peterson against the Chargers (296 yards on 30 carries).
- What makes the performance even more impressive was how our QB's played that day. Akili and Scott Mitchell combined to go 2 of 14 for 34 yards. Counting sacks, the QB's had a net of 14 yards. Jamal Lewis' QBs were bad, but look good in comparison, going 7 of 18 for 78 yards and an INT. Peterson's QB's were solid, going 13 of 22 for 158 yards and a TD. All three RB's had multiple QB's throw passes.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
