His presence was felt in the entire second half. 77 yards, no points, but he too held on to the football. His quarterback rating 110. 7, and look a true pro found areas he needed to grow in. Amphetamine good to get the first felt good to get the first one out of the way. Hoped to get a touchdown a couple of penalties late. And rockies and philadelphia. And chuck not one, not two, but three solo home runs, bringing the total to 18 in his first threehome run career game. And dahhs 17game. Hitting streak ended.
