C. Gaskin threw 2 touchdowns to Marquise Metcalf, who has now caught 38 from him. They have played 4 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

Across six seasons: 5,479 yards from scrimmage, thirty-eight touchdowns, 101 games. There was a 1,564-yard year in there. This is not it.

Doverville, Georgia is where he is from. He is twenty-six. Ask anybody: he keeps his own counsel and his own hours. Nobody planned any of it. He was converted from linebacker in his second professional season.

Cannoneers, 3-1, and four weeks gone. Garrett Fields II is new.

Metcalf will not step on the painted logo at midfield.
