Reed Gets a Boost from Bajwa in 35-16 Win
The second Reed player making an appearance here is Nishaan Bajwa, and for good reason. He threw for 220 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Bajwa has thrown 16 touchdowns while averaging 153.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 85.39 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 132.01 passer rating.
