Here’s to another crack at, “That was the statement they needed to make.”
This was submitted at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and I hung onto it. Glad I did.
It beats the alternative, doesn’t it? If you didn’t have a horse in that race, it was one immensely entertaining contest. Equally immense is how there’s barely enough time to finish exhaling before the ball is getting kicked off again.
Who gets the game ball, Rudy Ford or Christian Watson?
Great team victory! My only question is, how was Rudy not carried off the field after the game?!
He was serenaded by his teammates in the locker room. That’ll have to do.

Who else had No. 9 on offense and No. 20 on defense circled as the players who would lift this team to victory this week? I’m sure glad they did, we needed this one.
I’ll take no credit for Ford, but “Unscripted” viewers/listeners heard me deliver a mini-soliloquy on Watson last Thursday. This offense needs him, needs his speed, needs everything he can bring.
So you’re saying that a healthy Christian Watson changes this offense?
I think so, yeah. It’s not a cure-all, but he’s a different type of threat, the kind defenses mark and discuss.

What a great feeling that must have been to not only get your first NFL receiving touchdown, but to get two more in the same game. Kudos to the young wideout. My question is this: Did his success affect the Dallas defense to allow Lazard to get open?
On the late slant pass? No, 200-plus rushing yards did that.
I’m thinking about renaming my first born, Rudy or Christian … or Aaron. What a game! I’m not going to overreact, and declare this team being fixed, but a good game plan and some execution goes a long way. Here’s to staying relevant for at least a few more weeks, and hopefully something to really build off of.
It takes one side picking up the other, like any win does. Ford’s INT at the goal line three plays after Rodgers’ fumble was the reverse sequence of last week in Detroit. It takes clutch plays in clutch moments, too. Fourth-and-7 on offense, fourth-and-3 on defense. This game hung in the balance several different times. It was that kind of Sunday in the NFC North, apparently.

That was certainly the momentum shift needed in this season. What is the most important piece of that game for the team to take into next week?
Aside from the list above, I’ll add these: Stubbornness with the run, catching the ball on…
