Berry's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Daylyn Taylor
Berry's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Daylyn Taylor. Taylor did his part (and then some), picking up four sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles for the 'W'.
On the season, Taylor has averaged 5 total tackles per game and for the season has those 4 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 0.2 total tackles per game.

Olympic had to settle for second on Thursday, but De'Angelo Hall sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Hall was still balling out as he picked up 56 receiving yards, and also punched in a rushing score. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making a tackle.
For the season, Hall has averaged 53.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 4.14 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 17.40
