Pick-sixes are rare - 2 pick-sixes are rarer still but Chad and Street each had one this week. Street also had 2 defensed passes (including a big one that saved a TD). Cain had the biggest day on defense though with 4 picks. Anthony also had a multi-pick day with 2 along with a defensed pass. Barry and Mike each had 2 defensed passes.

Worth noting was Chad's 50 yard boomer.

Awards:

Nick gets MVP this week for big game as a receiver and a solid game on defense with a pick and a defensed pass and for his contributions on special teams.

Jesse gets the Offensive Player of the Week Award. This was a bit tough since Chad and Curtis also both had really big games but in all honesty, Jesse to work a lot harder for both his TDs (even with some blocking help).

Defensive player of the game goes to Cain. Four picks is big - possible the biggest this year.

When you did the analysis earlier in the season there were 3 conclusions.
1) Qb's run more in small games than they do in large ones, even though they are allowed to on ever play in large ones (no surprise there) less people on the line invite more qb running,
2 ) The smaller the game the more successful QB running is. Again no surprise, less people on the line make QB runs difficult to stop
3) Individual QB's all have more yards per run in small games than they do in big games (just a break out of point 2).

Conclusion, QB's run more in small games and get more yards because there are not enough people on the line to protect against the run. I guess the question is, are we going to go back to the way it was, or allow QB's to rack up a 100 yards a game and negate anything resembling a real running game. I can't recall in the last 3 times I was out there that there was 1 hand off.
