Travis Has One Catch in Big Game...

Travis hauls in a long gainer that was called back because of holding Friday night

Against an explosive team like Rocky Mountain the Lightning passing game could only produce 67 yards on Friday night. Travis ended the game with only one catch, a 22 yard fade route on the last play of the first half.

Travis also had a fine catch on another deep fade (left) that was called back on a holding penalty.

The Lightning offense will need to get more explosive in the coming weeks to get ready for a playoff run. Travis and the Lightning offense will be up to the challenge...
