Drew Lock Hurting for Albert Okwuegbunam

The NFL being a game of inches is not just a from the greatest football movie ever produced. Victory and defeat really do hinge on the tiniest breaks within the framework of sixty actionable minutes.Tony D'Amato Al Pacino put it best:Indeed, life imitated Jason Terry Jersey art for Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, who dropped a potential touchdown late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 17-13 lo s to the Las Vegas Raiders. Thrown open on a seam-busting laser from quarterback Drew Lock, Okwuegbunam watched as the pa s clanked off his hands.He likely would have walked into the end zone. Instead, Denver walked out of Allegiant Stadium having dropped its eighth game of the season, all but mathematically eliminating the Jabari Parker Jersey club from playoff contention.Replay showed an anguished Lock, hunched over, bewildered that his 30-yard strike fell incomplete. Though, whatever emotions he felt at that moment paled in comparison to Okwuegbunam, his former college teammate at Mi souri.

You care about everyone around you, especially a guy that youve been with six years already, seven years," Lock said in his postgame pre s conference. "Uncharacteristic of him and it hurts me for him, but I know Mirza Teletovic Jersey it will hurt him tremendously for the next couple days. Thats what makes Albert him. Hes going to bounce back from that and Im excited to see what he does the rest of Thon Maker Jersey this year. He takes a lot of pride in his work, he takes a lot of pride in how he plays this game and hell figure it out and bounce back after that one.Truth be told, it isn't uncharacteristic for Okwuegbunam, who was held catchle s on two targets against the Raiders. The sophomore TE has struggled with drop i sues in 2021, fumbling near the end zone in the opener and muffing a would-be TD bomb from Teddy Bridgewater in Week 5.Two of the Chris Copeland Jersey three Okwuegbunam-ridden contests resulted in defeat hardly coincidental, as Pacino famously warned."The differences are really small in this league, and we just got to be better in places here and there," Lock said.
