Burfict in tough conditions played his ass off.
1. We scored 20 points on the road, including a clutch TD to seal the game late.
2. That "offensive player" accounted for 83% of our yards and 92% of our first downs. With RB's going for 45 yards on 23 carries. Not his fault the total yardage was low. Blame the run blocking for that.
3. The TOP is just as much the defense's fault as the offense's. The defense played well overall today, but not on 3rd downs. They allowed 12 3rd down conversions and a 4th down conversion.
I won't question your pick though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
