Snowplows

3 more touchdowns from J. Jugg to Kellen Yarborough, 39 in total. Target share explains some of it; the rest is the pair of them. They have played 11 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

Across nine seasons: 7,870 yards from scrimmage, thirty-nine touchdowns, 143 games. There was a 1,136-yard year in there. This is not it.

He turned thirty this year. He is from Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. Ask anybody: he is the one the young players actually ask. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

Snowplows are 6-5 through twelve weeks. Mateo Morrow is new. There is one year left on the deal.

Yarborough eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 12 of 1997. The rest of the season is there too.
