The back-up QB was very impressive, he is a local guy, he was the QB for Old Dominion University.

Brady was knocked down or sacked several times, VERY SATISFYING

Haha. Buffalo fans HATE Tom Brady. Gronkowski grew up here so he is beloved.
9:02 am

Brady is hated in this area.
9:03 am

expectations for Washington's team were super low all year - they acquitted themselves well

Logwood belongs to the legume family and its scientific name means "bloodwood" ('haema' meaning blood and 'xylon' which means wood). Logwood is a gnarled tree with a deeply fluted trunk
