This game might be physical, it could have the same feeling as the Buffalo Bills game in London from last year. Hopefully we can get a big day out of Etienne on the ground. Feels like he's overdue honestly.

Yeah he is overdue.  The reports of ETN's demise in the wake of Tank's ascendancy have been greatly exaggerated.  He's getting reduced usage as we've been hoping for to extend his durability for a long 17 game season plus playoffs.

Both of them have honestly taken a few good shots this year that put them out mid game or at least a series or two. They're about 50/50 right now production wise. It's a good problem to have. At some point, they'll need to start using more split backfield looks and getting creative with them.

Etienne is severely underutilized in the passing game in my opinion. Would like to see more of them out there together with Etienne being motioned out into the slot or out wide and you can mix and match this with Bigsby maybe getting a quick dump off if the defense is caught looking too heavily in one direction.
