27 touchdowns and counting

C. Mancini threw 2 touchdowns to Tevin Lockett, who has now caught 27 from him. They have played 9 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

He has 6,110 yards from scrimmage in six seasons, and twenty-seven touchdowns. There was a 1,453-yard year in there. This is not it.

Bitter Lake, Idaho is where he is from. He is thirty. Ask anybody: he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. The route here: drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

The club is 5-4. Jalen Fontaine is new. The contract runs out in the spring.

Lockett answers every question in exactly one sentence.
