Oh, side note, credit to those of you who've been raving about John Bates' blocking for weeks. If I'm being honest, without paying extra attention to him, I was like "yeah he's doing the job, and it's been a while since we had a decent blocking TE, but the "top blocking TE in the league" talk is over the top, it's not like he's mauling people Gronk or Georges Kittle style"...

But for the first time this week I saw him legitimately maul people. He's not the most physical TE in the league, but he's consistently blocking and he has the ability to pancake someone every now and then.
