In a defensive battle, the visiting team secured a hard-fought 20-15 victory over their hosts on Thursday night. The win marked a crucial turnaround for the victors, who had suffered back-to-back losses in their previous games.
Leading the charge for the winning team was their star quarterback, who threw two touchdown passes in the first half to give his side a 14-9 lead at the break. The defense stepped up in the second half, limiting the opposition to just three field goals.
Despite the win, concerns were raised over the health of the team’s star edge rusher, who was carted off the field late in the game with an ankle/foot injury. Fortunately, initial X-rays revealed no serious damage, and an MRI is scheduled for Friday.
On the other side, the hosts’ rookie receiver had a promising outing, hauling in 12 catches for 115 yards before exiting the game with a concussion. The team’s quarterback had an efficient night, completing 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards, but ultimately fell short of securing a win.
The victory marked a significant milestone for the winning team’s quarterback, who has now won 13 consecutive games against their opponents. The streak ties for the second-longest win streak by a quarterback against a single opponent since quarterback stats were first tracked in 1950.
Both teams will have time to regroup before their next matchups, with the winners set to face off against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers in 10 days, while the hosts will travel to take on the Seattle Seahawks.
