1. A great time for the kid to get very meaningful minutes. Heard some boos for O'Korn or at the very least the play calling. Peters really had a chance to come in when he couldn't do any worse than the guy he was replacing.

2. There was absolutely a spark after O'Korn completed just one pass, hell the crowd even responded. Higdon was a key tho, the runs he made moving us down the field were huge. I think that may have even sparked Peters.

3. For the first time this year I think we got to the second or third reads on routes. Will rewatch to confirm what I thought I was seeing.

4. The Oline was great all day on both pass blocking and especially run blocking. Peters, Walker and Onwenu all stepped up their game today, great to see. Shout out to Gary, has played well all year but the last three (or whenever he got the roughing the passer penalty) he has stepped it up.

5. Peters has to show his teammates that he's for real, if he handles the easy throws next week he may keep the offenses mojo going.

6. Peters has the job the rest of the year if he plays out the games like he did today.

7. Something that probably won't get mentioned is Peters made all the exchanges on running plays flawlessly. Appears we have changed the exchange to the running back a little deeper in the backfield, that may help in that the linebackers/safeties will have to wait a bit longer to run downhill at our running game and aid the play action also.

8. Said it in one of the game threads. Composure of Peters in the pocket was the best I've seen in about 20 games.
