Week 11 Game Review- Part 4

Following the Tennessee-Houston game, I went 12-4 on the week.  The only game I missed with this batch was Philadelphia-Chicago.  I thought with the extra days of rest and preparation would give the Bears the edge to win.  Obviously, that wasn't the case.

New York Jets at New England

What happened to Mark Sanchez?  Talk about growing pains!  Turnovers were the big difference in this game.  The Patriots held the ball for 20 more minutes, gained 180 more yards, and were 75% in the red zone, while giving the Jets nary a red zone chance.  Total domination by the Patriots.

Philadelphia at Chicago

The impression of this game was the Eagles were the better team, but gave the Bears too many chances.  Luckily for them, Chicago was unable to capitalize.  The Bears were +2 in turnover differential and sacked Donovan McNabb three times.  However, they went 33% in the red zone, while the Eagles were 67% and gained nearly 100 more yards of offense.

Tennessee at Houston

Vince Young has played magnificent football over the past month, and it continued last night.  Hence the win for Tennessee.  These two teams played a good, tight game, and the numbers bear it out.  The Titans generated more pressure, while the Texans were +1 in the turnover battle.  The biggest different was the red zone.  Tennessee was perfect, while Houston went 67%.
