    — @ByRyanWood

    • After strip sack, Jordan Love said discomfort in his elbow went away before Jets game ended. It did not affect any of his throws, he said. At no point did he think the elbow might force him to leave the game. He indicated the elbow is a non-issue for ATL, even on a short week.
