Answer:  FIELD GOAL

(Of course, both Steven and Matt Prater are hoping that they make every kick tomorrow.  Kicking is always a big factor in the game.  Both are top notch kickers.  It looks like the weather is not going to be a much of a factor tomorrow.  It should still be about 42° at game time, dropping to about 36° or so, by game’s end.  Maybe a little mixed precipitation, but not a frigid snow bowl, as some had feared.

No new clue words today, but some fun jumbling.  I liked “avoid” and “locket”.  The answer letter layout didn’t give anything away.  Jeff’s cartoon is great.  He even has the player’s numbers right!  For you guys who don’t bother with the Sunday Jumble, I hope you enjoy tomorrow’s game, and otherwise just enjoy the weekend.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(A very accomplished and capable First Lady.  If nothing else, she will always be remembered for the Highway Beautification Act.  I’m a sucker for flowers, and I always think of her surrounded by wild flowers.  She made it to the ripe old age of 94, just like my Gramma!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
