The games two years ago was one of the most bizarre games I've attended.

I went to the Nick at Noon the day before and he tried to tell us that the team was tired and worn down. He said usually the bye works out well for us, but that team was desperately in need of it to get healthy and get their legs back.

I had a feeling it would be close at that point, but I was thinking like 14 points close, not 5 points.
