Tennessee at New York Jets
This game was even from a penalty standpoint, but that was about it. The Titans allowed more pressure to Collins than the Jets allowed to Sanchez, as they out-gained New York by over 50 yards. The Jets gave up their first red zone touchdowns this season, but at 100% conversion rate. At least, they gave up only two opportunities, compared to the Titans four, allowing a 75% conversion rate. Where this game was won was turnovers. The Jets caused four, while only giving away two.
Kansas City at Philadelphia
I made some comments in a post following the game. Afterwards, I took a longer look at the numbers, and the Eagles flat out dominated. They allowed no pressure on Kolb, while placing moderate pressure on Cassel, had seven fewer penalties, and gained 220 additional yards. The reason it was only a 20 point victory was the even turnover battle, and the Eagles allowed the Chiefs to convert both their red zone chances into touchdowns.
New York Giants at Tampa Bay
This game was another blowout. The Giants gave Tampa Bay's quarterbacks moderate pressure, while allowing minimal pressure to Manning. They also converted for their first red zone chances this season, and had a reasonable 60% rate. The dominance in this game was discrepancies in total yards and time of possession (over 300 yards and 37 minutes).
Cleveland at Baltimore
Another game, another blowout. The pressure on both sides was minimal, and the Ravens were actually called for more penalties. Those are the only stats remotely in Cleveland's favor. Even with a 50% conversion rate, the Ravens still had six red zone chances, while giving up only one such opportunity. Baltimore outgained the Browns by over 220 yards and a +3 turnover advantage.
