Week Six of the 2011 NFL Season had six quarterbacks pass for 300 yards or more.
Week Six of the 2011 NFL Season had eight running backs rush for 100 yards or more. We have seen in previous weeks that passing the ball for 300 or even 400 yards does not at all guarantee wins. We have seen in previous weeks how successfully running the ball in the NFL directly translates into wins. Will Week Six of the NFL Season prove out the same results? Quarterbacks who passed for 300 yards or more in Week Six, break down like this: Brees, New Orleans 383 LOSS Bradford, St. Louis 328 LOSS Romo, Dallas 317 LOSS Rodgers, Green Bay 316 WIN Flacco, Baltimore 305 WIN Freeman, Tampa Bay 302 WIN The WIN/LOSS record for the teams of theses quarterbacks is 3 WINS/3 LOSSES, for a winning percentage of 50%. Not very impressive. Take out Aaron Rodgers from this equation (because he is Aaron Rodgers), and the WIN/LOSS results for these quarterbacks becomes 2 WINS/3 LOSSES. Running backs who rushed for 100 yards or more in Week Six break down like this: Mendenhall, Pittsburgh 146 WIN Gore, San Francisco 141 WIN Turner, Atlanta 139 WIN McCoy, Philadelphia 126 WIN Jackson, Buffalo 121 LOSS Graham, Tampa Bay 109 WIN Bradshaw, NYGiants 104 WIN Rice, Baltimore 101 WIN The WIN/LOSS record for the teams of these running backs is 7 WINS/1 LOSS, for a winning percentage of 88%. That is downright dominating. Tampa Bay had a 300 yard passer and a 100 yard rusher in Week Six (Freeman/Graham). Baltimore also had a 300 yard passer and a 100 yard rusher in Week Six (Flacco/Rice). Year-to-date, here are these statistics broken out: 500 YARD PASSERS 1 WIN/0 LOSSES 100% Winning Percentage 400 YARD PASSERS 3 WINS/7 LOSSES 30% Winning Percentage 300 YARD PASSERS 28 WINS/28 LOSSES 50% Winning Percentage 100 YARD RUSHERS 34 WINS/11 LOSSES 74% Winning Percentage BOTH A 300 YARD PASSER AND 100 YARD RUSHERS 3 WIN/1 LOSS 75% Winning Percentage Once again, the statistics are proving out what we have always known: To be successful in football (and the NFL) a team needs to be able to run the ball consistently well.
