Notes:

  • QB play was slightly above average, which I think is at least fair, if not maybe a couple points higher than it should be. 
  • RB play was stifled by the Syracuse D, but of course, Mel Brown was the highest rated, buoyed by his 45 yard TD run.
  • Interestingly, Reymello Murphy was the highest rated WR. Bell had 11 more targets, however, so plenty more opportunities to get any demerits. No drops for either receiver, however. 
  • No grade for John Neider at QB.
