Blake Edwards Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Hoggard got the W thanks in part to Blake Edwards playing the best football he has all season. Edwards picked up 114 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 60 yards.
This year, Edwards has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 60 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 1.33 receiving yards per game.
