jordy putting up a fight

Calvin had 1 TD catch today vs. 3 for Jordy so he wins that contest by 1.

He had (unofficially) 244 yards today. Victor Cruz has 178 so far with a little more than 3 minutes left.

Looks like Cruz needs 145 more yards to pass Calvin. I would get the champagne ready if I were Calvin.
