Blakes team won the game. He passed the ball some but also ran a fair bit. I can only recall one play where Blake was going to pass, but it was fairly well covered - he kept his arm up to pass but was kind of side stepping to the left and forward while looking for an angle. By the time they tackled him he had gained 12-15 yards.

I was the statistician on a semi-pro team for a couple of years, and one year we got a quarterback who was basically a semi-pro Lamar Jackson. He would end up running on 3/4 of our passing plays. He was a good player, but it made me realize that a football game with no passing is less interesting than I'm accustomed to.

Was this before or after Mahomes? Because before Mahomes, all we knew was no passing...
