Mini Shaq leaps into the end zone from the one yard line to cap a penalty-aided drive. Leone misses the convert, 15-0 B.C.

In general how is Jennings looking? Is he looking poised? Good pocket presence? Making good reads and decisions? The numbers and comments here seem to indicate he's playing well and not looking like a "deer in the headlights" rookie.

Definitely a better aura than we saw from Beck.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

And convert it after the PI & major foul flags against us. 15-7 BC after the Kenny Stafford TD catch and Whyte convert.

The Esks answer with their own penalty-aided TD drive. That should give them a big confidence boost. 15-7 .C. with 2:15 left in the first half.

He's looked very good at times and just OK at others. Made a few smart decisions to throw the ball away, seeing open receivers that might not have been his first read.

Lions need to gain a few 1st downs to get out of the half with the lead

C'mon Willis, that was a face mask and you know it, quit complaining.

Willis is an idiot to even suggest that was not a penalty.

Hawkins seems to be his fave receiver so far.
