The sun ultimately jumped out before starting, and for the home team everything looked much brighter 28-3 rugThey did this with a field with a protection that once again demonstrated its elite potential – although against a crime without a injured defender Joe Burrow – And the defender Bo Nix I had the most complete game in the season when he scored his first 300-fair passing game (326).

There were problems, such as fines (7 to 72 yards) -Bronos entered the games this weekend, associated with the fourth of the penalty courtyard. Luke Wadtenberg was marked four times alone – and falls in the attack, including two on a wide receiver Troy FranklinField

But the largest acquisition of a team in a free agency in the past Interseason was still looking for his games. By the end of the third quarter, Engram had three tricks for 18 yards and falling on its six targets. The besieged defense of Bengings with all her might tried to pull out Bronos from the field, but Bronkos would have to find ways to attract an ingram – this means games in which they will need more than four catches for 29 yards from him.
