Guess what? I actually got to watch this game in Florida!
Before you get too amped on my behalf, it wasn’t at the stadium: it was in Fort Myers where I sat adjacent to a man in a Tom Brady Bucs jersey.
Don’t worry.
They’ll never find his body.
Defensive dominance bodes well
Aidan O’Connell’s quarterback rating was 56.
I know he’s a backup, but that’s probably a good indicator that the defense across from him had a decent game.
And whaddya know?
Besides keeping O’Connell’s rating down in the basement with the *Patriots, Miami’s defense held otherwise capable Josh Jacobs to 39 yards rushing and, apart from an early lapse in coverage allowing for a 46 yard TD, locked down otherwise very capable Davante Adams to the tune of 7 recs, 82 yds, and 1 TD.
