P. Northcutt has now thrown 44 touchdowns to Applesauce Okonkwo. Partnerships like that used to be how you described a team, before everybody started describing schemes. They have played 15 games together this season alone. One of them will leave first. They always do.
5,804 yards over six seasons. Forty-four touchdowns. 110 games. He got to 1,370 once. Not this time.
He turned twenty-seven this year. He is from Tannery Row, Maine. Around the building he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. The route here: drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.
The club is 8-7. Oscar Kearse is in year twenty-eight of it.
One more thing: he refuses to be taped by anybody but the same assistant trainer.
