Players know it. Coaches know it. And you can bet fans know it.
“For a visiting team, this is a tough place to play. We all know that the challenge for a team on a road is crowd noise. We have a very educated fan base. They know how to let us hear a pin drop when we’re on offense, but then crank it up when we’re on defense,” offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur noted Thursday.
