Well then, that certainly gives quite the spin to the "Marshon Lattimore needs oxygen because he's out of shape after a few weeks away from the field" narrative. Finding out your rookie sensation at cornerback was maybe/maybe not hovered over a garbage can looking like he was spitting out food coloring while trying to put the finishing touches on a super intricate Halloween costume is undoubtedly bad news. However, if you wanted to look on the bright side then it's fairly incredible he was able to recover well enough from an obvious ailment to trade off 73 touchdown-less yards for an interception that put the Saints in field goal range. I would have signed up for that exchange at kickoff, and - despite not having my PhD - I feel fairly confident in saying that even looking like you might be losing blood orally can only take away from your abilities as a professional athlete. Now, Marshon Lattimore would clearly never use the fact that his mouth may or may not have tasted like a fistful of pennies as an excuse, but it's exactly that type of moxie while going mano a mano against one of the physical freaks at the wide receiver position that has me all the more excited for the rematch. Dress light Julio, wouldn't want you to sweat getting blanketed all night. "Every time I give up one catch, I'm mad," Lattimore said.
