Week 10 Game Review- Part 3

Two out of three ain't bad.  Right?  The game I missed was Dallas-Green Bay.  In previous couple of games, Dallas was playing inspired football, while Green Bay was far from it.

Kansas City at Oakland

This had to be an ugly game to watch.  JaMarcus Russell was pulled from another game, due to ineffective play.  Both teams did a respectable job at protecting the quarterback.  Oakland played stingy red zone defense, as they didn't allow a touchdown in three opportunities for the Chiefs, and they were +1 in the turnover battle.  The Chiefs gained about 50 more yards, but they won it, due to a five penalty advantage.

Dallas at Green Bay

I teased this game above.  Both teams gained approximately the same number of total yards, while allowing the opposing team to pressure their quarterback.  The differences were glaring.  The Packers were 100% in the red zone, while the Cowboys were 33%.  Green Bay was +3 in turnover differential, and held the ball for 12 additional minutes.

Seattle at Arizona

Based upon the numbers, this game had to be entertaining to watch.  Both teams combined to gain over 900 yards of offense.  Arizona's strengths were they were able to protect Kurt Warner, who took just one hit, and pressure Matt Hasselbeck, who they sacked four times on seven hits.  Also, the Cardinals were 60% in the red zone, while forcing Seattle to just 25% in their chances, and Arizona was +2 in the turnover battle.
