I mean no, JJSS can't hold up to that kind of volume week after week. But boy, you can drive him like you stole him for an evening and then give him two weeks off.
And no, Hunt's not gonna be able to handle 25+ carries every week (he was reaching for his ribs/chest area a lot early in this game) but you can grind him up tonight and let him recover.
It was a really smart way to leverage the week off. They just decided to lean heavily into 3 guys who they really can't do that with every week (Hunt, JJSS and Kelce) but who you could count on for a game and give plenty of time to rest and recover.
That's damn smart.

Yep.
But damn they were all beat to hell against that defense, but thus is life in the NFL. It's why I always cringe when guys lower a shoulder on the sideline, or try to run over someone in the MOF.
The name of the game here is to avoid hits. At all costs.
