Growing up, I had this handheld football game in the shape of a football you would “throw” to complete the pass. An impossibly difficult game for 8-year-old Alex to figure out and every time the opponent would complete a big pass against me, which they always did, the animated player on screen would talk serious smack.
“You can’t stop him, you can only hope to contain him.”
I never stopped him. Or contained him. For the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday, stopping Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is too lofty of a goal. Containing him should be enough to win.
