Wide Receivers / Tight Ends

Again, with the less than ideal weather conditions, the receiving corps suffered some.  There were some dropped balls on the night that should have been caught.

Mike Gesicki led all receivers with five catches for 47 yards.  DeAndre Thompkins added four catches for 40 yards. Chris Godwin had three catches for 36 yards, and DaeSean Hamilton had a pair for 35 yards.

There were no touchdowns for this group, which lead to the average grade.  Nothing really stood out, but they made the catches when needed.

Grade: B-
