Three throws with Scho: Holiday magic
Last week we were treated to some holiday magic.
I’m not talking about the magical moments provided by opening gifts on Christmas morning, although I am positive those readers celebrating did make some wonderful memories in that manner. I am talking about what we saw from NFL quarterbacks this past weekend. From veterans like Aaron Rodgers to rookies like Davis Mills, and players in-between, NFL fans were treated to some incredible quarterback play over the holiday weekend.
Let’s break down some of the best quarterback performances from Week 16 of the 2021 NFL season.
