Bruce Ellington
Is our best weapon on the team, IMO. He'll get the ball 20 times a game henceforth. At least he should. He can do it all.

He's really turned into a tackling machine.

Jarrett Lee's stats are actually 13 of 17 for 3TDs. For some reason, three screen passes weren't counted as passes during the game. 
Heard it on the radio this morning..
