Friday Night Lights: Eyes Wide Open

In the aftermath of Street's career-ending injury, the town of Dillon copes with the reality of the injury through prayer. Pressures and stresses begin to mount for Coach Taylor when he has to put the fate of the season on second-string quarterback, Matt Saracen. As Coach Taylor tries to pull the team together during this difficult time, as well as work with a nervous Matt, Lyla stands by Jason by being the support he needs to recover. Lastly, as game day approaches, the team comes together and vows to win one for Street.
