Keep your head up, McAfrican American! There really is still a ton of football left to be played. Your next few opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly think they've got an easy matchup. Do what and Christian McCaffrey would in this scenario and continue pounding away... catch those complacent GMs off-guard!
