Nick Foles vs. Chicago Bears: 17/36, 200 Yards, 1 INT, 53.0 Passer Rating
One of the more shocking headlines I saw on Monday was that Case Keenum was getting the start next week for the Rams instead of Nick Foles because Jeff Fisher is looking for an “offensive spark.” I don’t know how much … Arti…
San Diego Chargers Pass Defense vs. Bears: 27/40, 345 Yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, 100.5 Passer Rating
In my previous article, I broke down what went wrong for the Saints rushing attack. Its not fair to pick only on poor offensive phase of the game though and after watching the Monday Night Football game this week I decided to break down … Ar…
Eric Kendricks vs. the Chiefs (10 total tackles, 1 sack)
In the second round of the 2015 Draft, the Vikings took Eric Kendricks with the idea that he would eventually replace long-time Will Chad Greenway. For the first four games of the season, Kendricks saw playing time, but primarily in nickel packages&hel;…
Stefon Diggs vs. the Chiefs (9 targets, 7 receptions, 129 yards)
A five star recruit out of high school, Stefon Diggs was not rated as highly by the NFL and was drafted in the 5th round. Diggs made headlines in training camp for his exceptional play, but he was inactive for the first three games of the season. &hell;…
Cameron Jordan vs. the Falcons (3 sacks, 1.5 TFL, 2 holding penalties)
Cameron Jordan was drafted by the Saints in the first round of the 2011 draft. Since then, he’s been one of the centerpieces of their defense. In 2013, under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, he had 12.5 sacks and earned his first Pro … …
DeAndre Hopkins vs. the Colts (14 targets, 11 catches, 169 yards)
With Andre Johnson leaving in the offseason and Arian Foster not 100% to this point, DeAndre Hopkins, a third year WR out of Clemson, has been the Houston Texans’ only real weapon so far this year, and he has stepped up to the task in the team…
The Denver Broncos’ Pass Rush vs. the Minnesota Vikings (7 sacks, 4 Hits)
In the past few years, the Denver Broncos have been synonymous with offense. Their passing attack, led by Peyton Manning, has set records and has just been a dominating force. However, that potent attack has floundered to begin 2015, due to … Ar…
Everson Griffen vs. the Chargers (6 Tackles, 4 QB Hits, 1.5 Sacks)
During the 2014 offseason, the Vikings gave Everson Griffen $8 million per year to replace the aging Jared Allen at DE. The deal was seen as a big overpay at the time, as Griffen, Allen’s backup in the previous few seasons, was a player with&hell;…
Sean Lee vs. the Eagles (14 tackles, 2 PDs, 1 INT)
To the detriment of the Cowboys’ defense, Sean Lee missed most of the last two seasons with injury. In 2015, he’s healthy and is making a huge difference for the team. If you take away the 17 points that the Giants scored directly … …
Adrian Peterson vs. the Lions (29 runs, 134 yards; 2 catches, 58 yards)
One of the biggest stories this offseason for the Vikings was the return of Adrian Peterson. Rumors flew all offseason about whether or not he would be back, and there was some question of how well he would play after missing almost all of 2014.……
