I'm sure he was injured.
That line had incredible chemistry with touch passes, set plays, stretch passes,
plays down low on the goal line, and obviously working together and practicing together to practice those plays and set up plays like opening up space to let Lindholm fire in the slot all season...and other things we haven't seen a line so here in 30 years.
The did it all season, even as teams tried to adapt, but as soon as MT got hurt in Dallas, that all went away not just for him, but the other two as well had to figure out other ways. They did, to ok but not great success.
Can that be duplicated if you take out JG or MT and replace with another. Probably, but not with someone on the current roster.
