219/2 + 28 + 91 = 228.5

This is just getting ridiculous.

Getting 219 out of Drew Brees almost seems impossible, but you managed it.

313 / 2 = 156.5 + 138 + 69 = 363.5. Not too bad. Don’t think I have any chance of catching **RNATB** , but I think I’m widening my lead on second.

It’s time-stamped at 4:34, not 5:34. I think Omni’s in the clear.
