Looking back on Week 16

What a heck of a week...

Peyton Manning broke Tom Brady's NFL record of 50 TDs in a single season, surpassing it by 1 and up to 51. Manning passed for 400 yards and 4 TD's last Sunday in the 37-13 win over Houston. 3 of those TD passes came in the 4th quarter.

Andy Dalton had the best passer rating week of anyone, as he put up numbers in the 42-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings of 366 passing yards, 4 TD's and then his 136.5 passer rating. He currently has 4015 yards passing this season, and will probably rest next week with the division now clinched.

Nick Foles continued his impressive season with a 21-25 for 230 yard game in the 54-11 win over the Chicago Bears. He added 2 TD's to that, and then he had a 131.7 passer rating, boosting his season total to 2628 yards, 25 TD's, 2 INT's and a 118.7 passer rating. His Sunday Night Passer rating total was the 3rd highest he has put together in a start this season.

Why isn't Robert Quinn on anyones radar? The guy had a 3 sack game last week against the Buccaneers, and now has 18 sacks on  the season! What will this man do NEXT week!?!?!?

Pierre Garcon set a Redskin franchise record for the most catches, and most receiving yards in a single season in the 24-23 loss to Dallas. He lead the league this week with his 11 catches for 144 yards. He currently leads the NFL with 107 catches.

LeSean McCoy had another big game and continues to lead the league in rushing yards. He has 1476 on the season, a personal high, and Chicago was unable to stop him, allowing the most yards by a single RB this week (131), and the most total rushing yards this week (289). What's worse is the third best single rusher this week was Bryce Brown, the backup to LeSean McCoy, who gained a personal high 117.

Game of the Week? Very tough question. It comes down to either the Panthers-Saints, or the Packers-Steelers. I'll say it was the Packers 31, Steelers 38 game. Very impressive, and quite a run by the Steelers to barely keep their playoff hopes alive, and bring the NFC North to a climatic finish this week... Much like the NFC East.
