Divisional rematches
October 27, 2016
Looking at the big picture, games inside the division tend to be lower scoring. I believe this is because defenses develop an immunity to what an offense likes to do...
Storming off to Buffalo
October 25, 2016
In Brady's last five trips to Buffalo, New England has scored 31, 52, 23, 37 and 40 points -- an average of 37 points per game...
Running backs
October 24, 2016
David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott, of course, are ripping it up. They were selected in the first rounds of most fantasy drafts.

San Francisco 49ers

I checked into the historical numbers. Since the NFL moved to the 16-game schedule in 1978, this has happened only four other teams...
Seahawks-Cardinals
October 23, 2016

Kenny Britt
October 18, 2016
Back in 2009, Britt was one of six wide receivers selected in the first round. All but one of those players worked out well, at least for awhile...
Jay Ajayi
October 17, 2016
This isn’t new.
In the past 10 years, there have been 41 200-yard rushers. Well over half of those rushers (26) are players who didn’t rank in the top 20 at their position the previous year...
Ezekiel Elliott
October 14, 2016
