Things are definitely settling in with the rankings as we get further into the season. A few funky things happened where the Hawks had a solid win but lost a spot on the strength of Tampa’s blowout and the Bears lost, but gained a spot due to the Bills getting annihilated by the Pats.
The Vikings have lost Adrian Peterson, but their YPC *increased* to 6.0 this week. That is unreal. There are three teams averaging less than that per pass attempt (Panthers, 49ers, Ravens).
The Eagles remain an enigma that has a strong passing and running game, and a great run defense, but can’t seem to beat anyone. I certainly hope they’ve given up on their season by the time we play them.
Oh, and you know how I was saying we were a couple plays shy of a 40 pt outburst yesterday? The Pats are *averaging* 41.1 pts/game!
