B. Whitaker Jr. found Javon Metcalf 2 times. That is 21 together, and nobody in this league has anything better. They have played 16 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.
Across four seasons: 2,546 yards from scrimmage, twenty-one touchdowns, seventy games. He got to 868 once. Not this time.
Twenty-four, and Ojo Caliente, New Mexico before that. Ask anybody: he is the first man in the building most mornings. He was a mid-round pick who was the fourth-best player on his own college team.
The club is 9-7. Lorenzo Snodgrass is in year ten of it. He is out of contract after this.
Metcalf eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.
