Thanks for the coverage, as always.
I noticed some curious language you made use of in regards to a couple of injury situations. You wrote that Ebukam and Hill were "held out" because of rather vague injuries.
I figure you mean one of two things without saying it directly: either these are pretty serious injuries to keep a player out of such an important game, or guys aren't playing because of ticky-tack issues.
It's cliché, but the old saying of "are you hurt, or are you injured" applies. If hurt, it's tough to see why they'd be held out during a big game. If they're injured, I'd have to imagine they may be a problem for the remainder of the year.
