Alexander Hackwelder put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Friday. He rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 122 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 14-for-14 passing. He didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles and defended two passes.
