Week 8 - By the Numbers

[Super Nomario]

Some tid-bits:
 

• Brady was 16 of 16 throwing to TEs
• Brady's third-most-accurate game ever by completion percentage
• Marshall and Jeffery just 8 catches on 18 targets
• Bears ran for 5.9 YPC. Did it feel like that to anyone else? Not to me.

I think alot of that was garbage time.....which technically begin at the end of the 2nd.

And Cutler's passer rating for the game was 108.6.
 
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

For the game, yes. But his last two drives ended in TD passes. So his numbers broke down like this:
 
First half, plus first drive of second: 11-19 108YDS 1TD 1INT (69.6 rating) and CHI down 45-7
Last two drives: 9-11 119YDS 2TD 0INT (151.3 rating)
 
So throwing against a more relaxed defense and scoring two late TDs boosted his rating by 40 points.

Yes.
 
That's my point.

It is shocking to me that anyone still plays mostly zone against Brady.
