Week Seven of the NFL season saw a remarkably low number of quarterbacks pass for 300 yards or more: 3.
Week Seven of the NFL season had a usual number of running backs rush the ball for 100 yards or more: 8. To this point in the season, statistics have borne out that quarterbacks who pass the ball for 300 yards or more lead their teams to victory at a 50% rate; running backs who run the football for 100 yards or more lead their teams to victory nearly 75% of the time. That is a season won-loss record difference of 8 WINS/8 LOSSES or 12 WINS/4 LOSSES. The breakdown of the quarterbacks who passed for 300 yards or more in Week Seven of the NFL Season is as follows: Rothlisberger, Pittsburgh 361 WIN Rodgers, Green Bay 335 WIN Brees, New Orleans 325 WIN That adds up to a 3 WIN/0 LOSS record, or a 100% winning percentage - easily the best result for 300-yard-passing quarterbacks this season. However, there were only three quarterbacks who passed for over 300 yards for the week - easily the fewest this season. Even if we take Aaron Rodgers out of these stats (because he is Aaron Rodgers), the won-loss record for these quarterback is 2 WINS/0 LOSSES, and still a 100% winning percentage. The breakdown of running backs who rushed for 100 yards or more in Week Seven of the NFL Season is as follows: Murray, Dallas 253 WIN Peterson, Minnesota 175 LOSS Forte, Chicago 145 WIN Turner, Atlanta 122 WIN Foster, Houston 115 WIN Greene, NYJets 112 WIN Jones-Drew 105 WIN Tate, Houston 104 WIN The Houston Texans has two running backs rush for 100 yards or more (Foster/Tate). For the sake of this study, we will only count Houston's win only once. These statistics add up to a 6 WIN/1 LOSS record, or a 86% winning percentage. Year-to-date, this is how these statistics bear out: 500 YARD PASSERS 1 WIN/0 LOSSES 100% Winning Percentage 400 YARD PASSERS 3 WINS/7 LOSSES 30% Winning Percentage 300 YARD PASSERS 31 WINS/28 LOSSES 53% Winning Percentage 100 YARD RUSHERS 40 WINS/12 LOSSES 77% Winning Percentage 200 YARD RUSHERS 2 WINS/0 LOSSES 100% winning percentage TWO 100 YARD RUSHERS ON THE SAME TEAM 1 WIN/0 LOSSES 100% Winning Percentage BOTH A 300 YARD PASSER AND 100 YARD RUSHERS 3 WIN/1 LOSS 75% Winning Percentage Week Seven of the NFL Season seems to have brought us more of the same: Pass the ball for 300 yards or more and that team will win the game about half the time. Run the ball for 100 yards or more and three out of four times that team will win. It's not hard to see, or explain. (Statistics from NFL.com)
