One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

> Ward's tether to expected WR1 Wan'Dale Robinson was also on full display, but Tate specifically is the development to watch.
