<p>The Baltimore Ravens are trading edge rusher <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/161657" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/161657">Odafe Oweh</a> and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for safety <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/109608" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/109608">Alohi Gilman</a> and a 2026 fifth-round pick, the team announced Tuesday. </p><p>Oweh, 26, had been with the Ravens since they selected him in the first round of the 2021 draft. His breakout season came in 2024, as he registered 10 sacks and 23 quarterback hits.</p><p>However, the Penn State product has failed to register a sack this season and only played 45% of Baltimore's defensive snaps. Oweh is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2025 campaign. The move saves the Ravens roughly $8 million against the cap, according to <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1975661688339759267">ESPN's Adam Schefter</a>.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Gilman was a sixth-round pick in 2020. He'd spent his entire six-year career with the Chargers and carved out a starting role in 2023. He played 277 defensive snaps for the Chargers this season, recording 22 tackles and three passes defended.</p><p>The 28-year-old was a captain at Notre Dame when Kyle Hamilton, the Ravens' star safety who missed last week with a groin injury, was a freshman for the Fighting Irish. Gilman has 252 tackles and five interceptions in 73 career games.</p><p>Gilman is the second safety Baltimore added Tuesday after signing C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the practice squad.

<p>Monday night's meeting between Kansas City and Jacksonville caps the Week 5 action. One of two questions will be answered by the end of this game: Are the Chiefs back? Or are the Jaguars for real?</p><p>Kansas City avoided a 1-3 start last week with a convincing 17-point win over the Ravens. A road victory here would prove that performance wasn't a fluke. Jacksonville, meanwhile, is 3-1 but hasn't beaten anyone of the Chiefs' caliber. If they get past Patrick Mahomes and Co., the Jaguars should be taken seriously in the AFC.</p><p>Let's get to our pick, props, and touchdown scorers for Monday night's contest. </p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Mmucp" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Mmucp/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>The Chiefs finally looked like the team that's had multiple Super Bowl runs the past few years. Their defense held Baltimore's offense to 13 points before Lamar Jackson exited midway through the third quarter due to a hamstring injury, while Mahomes passed for 270 yards and four touchdowns.</p><p>Kansas City looked lost on offense during its first three games of the season. But speedster Xavier Worthy returned last week to provide a passing option that other teams must respect and game plan for. He made an immediate impact, leading the team with five receptions for 83 yards while adding 38 more on the ground. The second-year wideout helped the Chiefs operate efficiently for the first time all season.</p><p>On the other hand, the Jaguars haven't shown enough to get only 3.5 points against a perennial Super Bowl contender. Their three victories have come versus the Panthers, Texans, and a 49ers team led by an injured Brock Purdy. They also lost to the Bengals in a game where Jake Browning took over for Joe Burrow in the second quarter.</p><p>This will be the first big test for new head coach Liam Coen. He hasn't been overly impressive through four games despite being hailed as the savior of Trevor Lawrence's career. Brian Thomas Jr., who has just 12 catches on the year, can't get on the same page as Lawrence. And the team hasn't effectively utilized prized rookie Travis Hunter, playing him on both sides of the ball without much success at receiver or cornerback.</p><p>The Chiefs' defense proved last week that it remains a dominant force, and Mahomes will outclass the Jaguars on offense. This should be a routine win for Kansas City as it continues to move past its slow start to the season.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Kansas City Chiefs (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Zpta0" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Zpta0/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

The Bills are one of two remaining undefeated teams in the league, while New England is an exciting young group that's likely to be their toughest divisional opponent for years to come.</p><p>Let's dive into the matchup with a pick, some props, and a pair of touchdown scorers for the meeting at Orchard Park.</p><blockquote><p>👉 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F2d8c84a7-5b59-4c67-af9c-ad44a9ae5117&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3359325"><strong>Check out all of the Sunday Night Football markets available on ESPN BET and theScore Bet here</strong></a></p></blockquote><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-ewv6Z" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ewv6Z/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>The Bills may be undefeated, but they're only 2-2 against the spread, having failed to cover in their last two games as double-digit favorites versus the Dolphins and Saints. Buffalo let both teams hang around far too long, and the Patriots are a step up in competition compared to them.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>New England is a scrappy team that's shown the ability to score a lot of points, albeit against the poor Dolphins' and Panthers' defenses. Drake Maye is having a fantastic sophomore season and can do some Josh Allen-like things when it comes to creating something out of nothing. Additionally, the Patriots have yet to lose a game by seven or more points.</p><p>They always seem to play the Bills tight. Their previous four meetings were determined by seven points or fewer, and I'm willing to bet this will be another close one.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="New England Patriots (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-784ee" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/784ee/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>Maye has rushed at least seven times on two occasions this season, and you can see why he took off running in those games. He had only four carries against the Raiders during a disastrous season opener for the Patriots. In a win over the Dolphins the following week, he took off 10 times. Then Maye had seven rushing attempts in a close loss to the Steelers. In the Week 4 blowout victory over the Panthers, Maye ran just three times.</p><p>The thesis here is that Maye has shown to take more risks when the stakes are higher: the divisional win versus Miami needed to avoid an 0-2 start and the battle with fellow AFC playoff hopeful Pittsburgh. More risks will mean more rushing attempts for Maye rather than him throwing the ball away to avoid contact.</p><h3>🏈 <a target="_blank" href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=881ec018-5c18-4e5b-971f-9c878338e9f6&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=11&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F2d8c84a7-5b59-4c67-af9c-ad44a9ae5117&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3359325">Bet: Over 29.5 rushing yards</a>
</h3><p>For the same reasons above, I also like Maye to go over 29.5 rushing yards. He's done so in his two games with seven-plus rushing attempts, and the Bills give up the second-most rushing yards per game (164.3).</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="New England Patriots (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-q44rg" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/q44rg/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>Revenge game for Diggs? The former Bill has been targeted at least five times in three games this season, and he's coming off his best outing as a Patriot. He caught six passes for 101 yards last week. Perhaps that's a sign he's returning to his old form after tearing his ACL last year. If the Patriots have to push the pace to keep up with the Bills, Maye will drop back to pass often, setting up Diggs for a heavy workload.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Buffalo Bills (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-d08UB" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/d08UB/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>James Cook has caught at least three passes in three games this year. The only matchup in which he didn't was the Bills' 30-10 victory over the Jets, where he dominated on the ground instead. Cook is becoming a reliable check-down option for Allen, even though the quarterback likes to take off and run. At plus-money, the value on this wager is too good to ignore.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg will provide touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Buffalo Bills (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-RGnag" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/RGnag/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>We've taken Kincaid in back-to-back weeks, so why stop now when he's hit both times? The 25-year-old still has great odds despite leading all Buffalo pass-catchers in touchdowns, and this matchup is another solid opportunity for him.

</h3><p>We'll take a swing on a long-shot bet here, as these odds are too high for a quarterback who's already run for two touchdowns this season.

</h3><p>This isn't the first season the Eagles have dealt with Brown's public frustrations with the offense. You might recall Brown criticizing the passing after a game against the Panthers last December, when he had only four catches for 43 yards. Brandon Graham ignited the flames even further when he commented on Jalen Hurts and Brown's relationship. Like Philly now, all that drama occurred amid an impressive winning streak.</p><p>How did the Eagles respond the following week last year? By throwing Brown the ball early and often. He had eight receptions on 11 targets for 110 yards. Philadelphia will scheme to get Brown open against the Broncos, emphasizing that he gets touches. Prioritizing his involvement not only appeases their diva wideout's frustrations, but letting him make plays helps an inconsistent offense thrive.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Dallas Cowboys (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-DwVy3" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/DwVy3/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

Still, I have far more confidence in both the Rams' offense and defense to show up in prime time.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="San Francisco 49ers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-8GdDi" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/8GdDi/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

After a lengthy and public contract standoff between the wideout and the 49ers, Aiyuk agreed to a four-year, $120-million extension ahead of the 2024 season.

Quarterback Brock Purdy has missed the last two contests due to toe and shoulder injuries. He's slated to practice Thursday, but it's unknown if he'll start Sunday.

He's benefiting from solid offensive line protection, the presence of Pro Bowl running back Jonathan Taylor, and dependable pass-catchers like Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren. Shane Steichen has maximized the potential of other quarterbacks in the past, and he found an excellent match for his offense in Jones. The 28-year-old signal-caller previously led the Giants to the playoffs and should be able to do it again in Indianapolis.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p><strong>Brenden Deeg - SELL: </strong>Don't get me wrong, Jones has been great through three weeks. However, the Colts' wins came against teams with a combined 1-8 record, including two victories over defenses ranked in the bottom four for success rate heading into Week 4. From 2021-24, Jones ranked 25th out of 27 qualifying quarterbacks in EPA/play.

This club does nothing but win. That won't stop anytime soon. Let's remember that the Eagles also struggled offensively early last season and ultimately torched the Washington Commanders' and Kansas City Chiefs' defenses in the playoffs. The win over the Los Angeles Rams should spark offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo to open up the passing attack, and the defensive unit has flashed through three contests, especially in the second half of games.</p><p><strong>Caio Miari - SELL: </strong>Philly's wins this season all came in close games decided by one possession, including a miraculous triumph over the Rams in the craziest game of the year. It's hard to sustain that success throughout an entire campaign. Nick Sirianni's outfit has issues on both sides of the ball. Saquon Barkley hasn't had a 100-yard game this season, and the Hurts-led passing game ranks outside the top 16 in EPA/dropback (compared to eighth in '24). Defensively, the secondary is a liability, and Philadelphia ranks in the bottom 10 for sacks and pressures.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe width="650px" height="800px" src="https://forms.office.com/r/XR11uS2GTc?embed=true" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="border: none; max-width:100%; max-height:100vh" allowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen=""> </iframe></figure><blockquote><p><a href="https://forms.office.com/r/XR11uS2GTc"><em>Click here for poll</em></a></p></blockquote><h3>The Giants made the right call to start Jaxson Dart in Week 4</h3><p><em>New York benched Russell Wilson in favor of the first-round rookie passer after starting the season 0-3</em></p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/798446/cropped_GettyImages-2230568497.jpg?ts=1755832755" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/798446/w220xh124_GettyImages-2230568497.jpg?ts=1755832755 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/798446/w320xh180_GettyImages-2230568497.jpg?ts=1755832755 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/798446/w640xh360_GettyImages-2230568497.jpg?ts=1755832755 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/798446/w768xh432_GettyImages-2230568497.jpg?ts=1755832755 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/798446/w1080xh607_GettyImages-2230568497.jpg?ts=1755832755 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution">Icon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / Getty</span></figcaption></figure><p><strong>Brenden Deeg - BUY:</strong> The time to start Dart was Week 1, and Brian Daboll made a mistake by letting him sit behind Wilson until the end of September. The veteran clearly isn't a starting-caliber quarterback anymore, as evidenced by his awful showing in Week 3. Continuing to run Wilson out would've been detrimental to the team. The Giants traded up in the first round to select Dart, and allowing him to mesh with their young playmakers early in Year 1 is the right move. Ownership and the coaching staff need to see if he's their quarterback of the future.</p><p><strong>Caio Miari - SELL:</strong> Dart's debut will come against the Chargers' top-five defense, huh? The Giants should've been more patient. They play the 0-3 Saints in Week 5. Waiting another month wouldn't have been bad either, as New York faces Denver and Philadelphia (twice) in October. Those are awful matchups for a rookie with an unreliable offensive line. Fans wanted a change, but this was always going to be a rebuilding season. Starting Dart now is a desperate move from a coaching staff that can presumably feel the hot seat. I'm curious to see the New York media's reaction if he naturally struggles early on.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe width="650px" height="800px" src="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=lKd39brCKkKoDREoACTP-YJd-kd38ENEvLNRfLU9oFpUQ0xOV0lUNEFGQlowVzFTSjE0QUJXU0NXUi4u&amp;embed=true" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="border: none; max-width:100%; max-height:100vh" allowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen=""> </iframe></figure><blockquote><p><a href="https://forms.office.com/r/ihkyvzSVNu"><em>Click here for poll</em></a></p></blockquote>
