Clue/Question:  With so little time left on the clock, the Offense was – – –

Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (7-letters)  (2-letters)  (5-letters)

Answer:  RUSHING TO SCORE

(This kinda sounds like the Kansas City Chiefs specialty.  They’re famous for last second victories.  But I’m hoping against that trend today, as I will be rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles.  I’m not really a fan of either team, but the Eagles are closer to home for me, and I like their bruising style of play.  Hurts is an up and coming QB, they’ve got a very good running game, and a stout Defense.  I won’t complain when either team wins, as long as the game is competitive.  Blowouts are boring.  Rihanna is attractive, but that style of singing isn’t yer Uncle’s bag.  Maybe I can switch over to the Puppy Bowl, or something.

All of today’s clue words are on the ralis95 All-Star clue word database.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “lyocip”, “rawndo” and “fhirtt” in previous Jumbles.  The only jumble to trip me up was “yaisgn”.  Not sure why.  “Saying” is such a simple word.  The answer letter layout was a fantastic fourteen letter jumble.  I thought it was beautifully cryptic.  Despite what the Quarterback said, I got TO SCORE first, then I saw RUSHING.

Jeff has given us a fine Super Bowl Sunday cartoon.  It looks like he thinks it might be a high scoring game.  Though the Jumblites are down by 4 points, with 4 seconds to go!  Hopefully, it’s going to be a Run Pass Option.  That will give them a little more flexibility.  Great Jumble.  Enjoy the big game, folks.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
