Week 2
1. 128.7 QB Rating - Holy Cow!! - Yes, that's Rex Grossman.
He's 38 for 53 for 551 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT and only 1 sack. However, he's only played Green Bay and Detroit so far.
Grossman has only attempted 4 passes this season when the Bears did not have the lead. For him to have those stats with a lead is impressive.

Team in Blue is week 3 opponent

4. The Wow! Stat of the week - Donovan McNabb, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning each have 51 completions over the first two games. The Raiders as a team have only 18. :X
5. The quietest, surprise among QB's so far - David Carr
Not taking into effect the 9 sacks on him this year, David Carr is 40 for 53 (75.5% completion) for 427 yards and 4 TD's with 0 INT's.

Total rushing first downs this season
29 ATL
19 The next closest team (NE)
17 Last year's leader that finished with 145 (DEN)
4 TB, NYJ
14.5 x 16 = 232 = Atlanta's pace for 2006
7. Ummmm, do the Chargers really need LT?
Michael Turner the afterburner, is averaging 7.6 ypc (23 attempts). In mop up duty he is averaging 87.5 rushing yards per game and he's had 3 gains of 20 yards or more. Yet the Chargers as a team are still 123 rushing yards shy of Atlanta this year.
