Beau La Fleur and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Brighton picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Beau La Fleur. La Fleur made three total tackles and defended a pass. The effort also marked the most rushing yards (46) he has had since back in August.
La Fleur must have Olympus's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September (the last time La Fleur saw the Titans), he picked up two sacks and made ten total tackles.

Brighton Gets a Boost from Haertel in 17-14 Victory
