But something stood out to me here, Elijah Moore pushing the pile, driving his feet as hard as he could despite knowing it probably did very little with his 5’10" frame.
The kid is bought in, he’s a player who basically got traded last year because they didn’t like his attitude and he was vocal about the awful offensive playcalling. He was labeled a locker room cancer by Jets fans.
And now he’s playing for the Browns, pushing the pile as hard as he can towards the game winning field goal. Despite his season not having gone as well as he was probably hoping, being on 314 yards so far in a shaky passing offense while he’s one of the most open receivers in the entire league.
His route running is immaculate, he’s only 23, got his first touchdown on Sunday for us and most importantly, he’s fully bought in.
If you watch how BAL reacted to that play, one of the things that helped things along was that in the heat of the moment, the BAL players were much more interested in trying to cause a fumble, which in turn had the effect of keeping Ford upright, where the smart move was just to let Ford fall forward.
