Very good,

seeing Lutzenkirchen get the recognition he deserves. He’s been one of the few bright spots in this year’s passing game.

He’s a hell of a tight end, and I’ll be sorry to see him go when the day comes. At the very least, there’s a pretty strong chance you’ll see him on Sundays.

"The ball will be spotted at the six-inch-yardline."
