Backlund's nickname revealed - Second-Half Backs

Good. This will mean he will be hot going into the playoffs... unfortunately, in past years, it hasn't translated.

You'll also note how his linemates, Coleman and Mangiapane have started to hit the scoresheet more frequently as well. He elevates his linemates.

The Backlund effect is real.

To be fair it is frustrating every year especially when we are losing. But this parts pretty fun lol
