Matt Prater's 64-yard field goal, an NFL record, marks the third straight season a kicker has hit a field goal of 63 yards or more. 64 yards is also really fucking far.
Sebastian Janikowski, once considered to be one of the best kickers in the game if not the history of the game, is last in the NFL in field goal accuracy and has not made a kick longer than 53 yards.
Eli Manning is trying to win his third Interception Title, which should put to bed his Hall of Fame doubts. Wait, throwing interceptions is bad? Then why does everyone call Eli Manning an elite quarterback???
Who has the most pass attempts in the league? Peyton. Who has the most pass completions? Peyton. Who has the highest completion percentage? Philip Rivers, the only player not named Peyton allowed into the MVP discussion. The San Diego chargers rank 26th in total defense, 29th against the pass, and have "forced" 15 turnovers. Without Rivers having what would normally be an MVP season, the Chargers would be picking first or second overall. They would not have more than three wins, I guarantee you that. He's the third-best QB in the NFL IMO, behind Peyton and Brees.
There are rumors about both Teddy Bridgewater and Johnny Manziel staying in school (in the latter's case, only if he is not projected into the first round). Not even the tanking teams can catch a break. Actually, note that potentially none of the bottom three teams in the NFL (Redskins, Texans, Falcons) will be looking for a quarterback. The Texans might, but it shows that having a "franchise quarterback" isn't everything.
Speaking of franchise quarterbacks, many thanks to the Bears organization for deluding themselves into thinking they have a franchise quarterback when in fact they have a mediocre quarterback that hasn't had a great season since 2008. By benching McCown, Trestman just handed Detroit the division. Unless the Lions fuck it up and Matt Fucking Flynn carries GB back to the playoffs. Also, fuck the Bears. Just because.
