Grade: B

[autotag]Brenton Strange[/autotag] and [autotag]Mitchell Tinsley[/autotag] combined for three red zone touchdowns as they continue to be reliable assets for the offense in big spots. But Tinsley only caught four of the nine passes thrown his way (Strange caught all five). [autotag]Parker Washington[/autotag] got more involved at the start of the game and ended his day with a team-high six catches and 64 yards, yet he is still without a touchdown.

On more than a few occasions, it would have been good to see some receivers make a few plays to help out Sean Clifford, but there were not any plays that came back to bite them the receivers should have made.
