Week Five of the NFL Season included six quarterbacks who passed for 300 yards or more. Two quarterbacks passed for 400 yards or more.
Eleven running backs rushed for 100 yards or more. In our continuing study of these statistical and yardage outputs, how will these numbers further translate into WINS or LOSSES for the teams of these players. The quarterbacks who passed for over 400 yards in Week Five are as follows: Manning, NYGiants 420 LOSS Schaub, Houston 416 LOSS That works out to a WIN/LOSS record of 0 WINS/2 LOSSES, or a winning percentage of 0%. The quarterbacks who passed for over 300 yards in Week Five are as follows: Manning, NYGiants 420 LOSS Schaub, Houston 416 LOSS Rodgers, Green Bay 396 WIN Brees, New Orleans 359 WIN Brady, New England 321 WIN Vick, Philadelphia 315 LOSS That works out to a WIN/LOSS record of 3 WINS/3 LOSSES, or a winning percentage of 50%. Take out Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady (because they are Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady), the WON/LOSS record then becomes 1 WIN/3 LOSSES. That equals a winning percentage of 25%. The running backs who rushed for 100 yards or more in Week Five are as follows: Best, Dteroit 163 WIN Green-Ellis, New England 136 WIN Gore, San Francisco 125 WIN Matthews, San Diego 125 WIN McGahee, Denver 125 LOSS Peterson, Minnesota 122 WIN Battle, Kansas City 119 WIN Forte, Chicago 116 LOSS Williams, Carolina 115 LOSS Jackson, Buffalo 111 WIN Dwyer, Pittsburgh 107 WIN That works out to a WIN/LOSS record of 8 WINS/3 LOSSES, or a winning percentage of 73% New England had a 300 yard passer (Brady) and a 100 yard rusher (Green-Ellis) in Week Five. Year-to-date, here is how these results break down: 500 YARD PASSERS 1 WIN/0 LOSSES 100% Winning Percentage 400 YARD PASSERS 3 WINS/7 LOSSES 30% Winning Percentage 300 YARD PASSERS 25 WINS/25 LOSSES 50% Winning Percentage 100 YARD RUSHERS 27 WINS/10 LOSSES 73% Winning Percentage BOTH A 300 YARD PASSER AND 100 YARD RUSHERS 1 WIN/1 LOSS 50% Winning Percentage The data is still bearing itself out. It's only Week Five. It looks like the way to win in the NFL is to run the football successfully.
