San Francisco at Houston
The numbers that stand out in this game are the additional red zone opportunities Houston had, the +1 turnover ratio in the Texans favor, and the four additional penalties called on the 49ers. That last number surprised me the most, not only was it four more, but 11 total. I didn't believe a Mike Singletary coached team would be so undisciplined.
Green Bay at Cleveland
It took the Packers a little longer to push the gas on the Browns, than expected. But when they did, they dismantled their opponent in a hurry. The total yards discrepancy between the teams jumped at me (320 yard advantage to the Packers), while the +2 turnover differential in favor of Green Bay did not surprise me. I was glad to see Aaron Rodgers have a game where his line didn't allow him to be punished by defenders- as he only took one hit.
San Diego at Kansas City
The Chargers took advantage of solid defensive play with three picks on Matt Cassel and sacked him four times, while limiting the Chiefs to 203 total yards. The number that jumped was 200 yards gained difference between the teams, and the Chargers taking four more drives into the Red Zone. Though, against better teams, they have to improve upon their 40% conversion rate.
Indianapolis at St. Louis
Another game between the haves and the have-nots. Peyton Manning's astonishing season continues, with no turnovers, didn't take any hits, while converting on all three of their visits to the Red Zone. All this while out-gaining the hapless Rams by nearly 120 yards. Thus, far Manning is my MVP.
