And I was traded for Brady Quinn? |
Not even the second leading scorer was a QB, but benefited from Matt Cassel play (22/32 233 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 5 carries for 28 yards) as he hauled in 13 receptions for 170 yards and 3 scores.
However, 7 out of the next 8 top scorers were QBs highlighted by Tom Brady's turkey day trashing of Detroit (21/27 341 yards, 4 touchdowns), Jay Cutler's surprising performance against Philadelphia (14/21 247 yards, 4 touchdowns), and rookie of the year Sam Bradford's play against Denver (22/37 308 yards, 3 scores).
On the flip side, if you didn't catch the SD/ Indianapolis game last night and saw the final score of 36-14 you would assume Philip Rivers threw at least 2 touchdowns, however, Rivers had his first 0 touchdown game of the season going 19/23 for 185 yards. Speaking of weird stats Cowboys RB Tashard Choice hurt the production of Marion Barber owners by taking his one and only carry across the goal line for a touchdown Thursday after Barber failed twice.
Hot commodity Keiland Williams made owners wonder why they picked him up instead of Fred Jackson going for 5 yards on 3 carries while adding 4 receptions for 21 yards. Speaking of under producing many notable WRs had poor games resulting in less then 30 yards; including Randy Moss, Sidney Rice, DeSean Jackson, Donald Driver, Anquan Boldin, Braylon Edwards, Mike Williams (TB), Terrell Owens.
The Indianapolis Colts are now 1-13 when Peyton Manning throws 2 or more interceptions.
Interim head coaches are 3-1 for the season.
All 3 of Sam Bradford's touchdown passes were to tight ends.
Brent Celek found his way out of the fantasy black hole Sunday by catching his first TD pass in 5 weeks, and his first from Vick all season.
Peyton Manning threw 4 touchdowns Sunday night; two to his receivers and two to the Chargers defense.
