(In no particular order)

1. Man, can T. Smith and Durr close quickly (even with an 8-yard cushion) on receivers catching a quick out or slip screen.
2. Great stay-at-home tackle by Durr on end-around in 3Q. Did Durr come back into game after being hurt in 3Q?
3. Otomewo is big and strong, but seems pretty slow. (At least trying to chase down QB escaping the pocket).
4. Big compliment from Ben Leber to Antoine Winfield Sr. - "Best pound for pound defensive player I ever played with."
5. Awesome block by CAB on slip screen completion to Howard in 2nd series. Leveled his guy.
6. Great side-to-side pursuit and tackle by Barber on fumble play when Huff ruled out OB in 2Q.
7. Announcers said Fleck is only one of three P5 head coaches to have played and coached in NFL.
(others are Harbaugh and Herm Edwards)
8. "Holy Chip Lohmiller!" - announcer comment after Carpenter 53-yard FG.
9. Great hustle and hit by FR TE Max Janes, #98 (I think) on fumbled kick return late 2Q.
10. Improvement by AW3 in stepping up and catching most punts, but still let at least one go uncaught at about 17 yard line, and was downed inside the 5.
11. Announcers complimented our punter on his hang time (4.5-5.0 seconds) on 2 punts that travelled only 31 and 27 yards. Herbers did average 38.5 on 6 punts, with a long of 52. Need more consistency in distance while preserving the hang time.
12. Popcorn gets stale sitting for 2 days after game day.
