Griffen will play Sunday.

This goes way beyond the game. Best wishes to him and his family.

I know he's on the opposite team, but I hope he has a good game. Best wishes to his family. Not sure I'd be able to play under such pressure after losing my mom.

Classy thread. Prayers to he and his family. It's a strong man who can play a game so soon after his mother has passed.
