What happened

D.Maye's pick at the goal line could have flipped this one, but K.Williams' 72-yard score and T.Henderson's 55-yard burst built enough cushion that a late M.Hollins 54-yarder put it away. Seven straight, 8-2, and a road win over a contender — the kind of week where the formula stops mattering because someone keeps making the play. The margin for sloppy giveaways shrinks from here, but that's a problem for next Sunday.
