Week 17 Game Review- Part 4

Just missed one in this series of games.  I didn't figure that the Packers would go for it, but they did.

Green Bay at Arizona

Nice win for the Packers.  Hopefully, they didn't show the Arizona coaching staff too much.  The Anquan Boldin injury could be huge for the Cardinals, if it's anything serious.  Both teams didn't generate too much pressure, but that was the only similarity.  Green Bay thumped Arizona with 60% red zone conversions, 160 more yards on offense, and a +2 turnover differential.  Plus, they held the ball for 15 more minutes.

Washington at San Diego

This was a tight ball game.  A game Washington could have easily have won.  Both teams generated minimal pressure.  Washington actually won the turnover battle at +1.  But the Chargers did just enough to win.  They went 67% in the red zone, while the Redskins went 50%, and gained 25 more yards on offense.  It was enough for the hottest team in the AFC.

Tennessee at Seattle

I'm shocked Seattle showed some heart.  It's been a month, since they showed any backbone.  The yards were even, and the Seahawks won the turnover battle at +1.  However, Tennessee went 67% in the red zone, as opposed to the Seahawks 33%, and protected Vince Young, while harrassing Matt Hasselbeck to three sacks on seven hits.  Congratulations to Chris Johnson for setting the single-season total yards mark, and becoming the sixth rusher in NFL history to gain 2000 yards on the ground.

Cincinnati at New York Jets

Obviously, the Bengals postponed their competitive fire for next week, and the Jets took advantage.  New York kept Mark Sanchez clean, while generating three sacks on three hits to Cincinnati quarterbacks.  They went 60% in the red zone and won the turnover battle at +3.  And here's the telling number: 72.  That's the number of yards the Jets defense allowed all game.  Wow!  Great performance by Rex Ryan's defense.  I'm excited for this matchup next week.
