Graham Glasgow had to come in at center and Colby Sorsdal ended up playing right guard. The interior of the offensive line has already missed Jonah Jackson and Taylor Decker has missed time. This group has allowed just 22 sacks (tied for fourth-fewest in NFL). Fraley, the offensive line coach, deserves tremendous credit.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/one-thing-we-learned-about-each-team-in-week-13-jordan-love-breaking-out-deebo-samuel-still-dangerous/
