Here's an X Factor. Our WRs holding onto the ball. The Bares are one of the top teams at stripping the ball. Our WRs are one of the top squads at being stripped. Remember the first drive against Arizona last year? Ok, maybe it was the second drive after Arodge's INT on the first play. DD was stripped over the middle. BAM.
Remember what happened with Jennings last week? BAM. This is something that has happened repeatedly. The first matchup with the Bares this year was arguably decided on James Jones' fumble.
I've stated before that teams see something on film with our WRs. They're actively going for the strip. Word is out. So our dudes need to protect the mf'ing football.
The other key is the offense showing up for 60. Can they keep doing that this many weeks in a row?

I was wrong about Driver (I didn't even know he was on the field till almost halftime) but right about Jenkins. He was very disruptive early in the game and had a sack (maybe shared with Matthews) and a tackle for loss that was almost a safety. It made a difference having him in there and at full strength.

To those of you who said that Jennings and Shields would be the X Factors, kudos 🙂

---

dont forget bj raji 😉

---

Thats right. Wow his INT was huge.

---

The Raji int was a kick to the groin. Painful but not a killer. The true Dagger belongs to Shields.

I will give credit to those who said Shields, but no credit for Jennings. He is our best receiver by far. Calling Jennings an X factor is not a lot better than calling Aaron Rodgers an X factor.
