Three Stunning Performances
1. Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Buffalo Bills
Since Brees and Rodgers played Thursday night, Fitzpatrick was actually the most valuable quarterback to play Sunday. Let that sink in for a moment. Most of his basic numbers are pretty pedestrian: He went 17-of-25 for 208 yards. That's a 68 percent completion rate and 8.3 yards per pass. Good numbers, sure, but the best all day? The secret lies in Fitzpatrick's red zone performance. Inside the 20, Fitzpatrick went 4-of-6 for 24 yards and three of his four touchdowns. That worked out to 61 DYAR, better than anyone this week, including Rodgers and Brees. Fitzpatrick was also very effective in the third quarter, going 8-of-9 for 78 yards and 75 DYAR. That suggests some impressive halftime adjustments by Chan Gailey and company.
They could have even listed our run defense's great performance against Charles as stunning....lets hope the D keeps it up because McFadden is just as good.
