Some final thoughts
- As mentioned in the NFC post, the AFC by far dominates the NFC. It was a lot easier to do this one (especially looking at the Football Outsider stats which you can not sort via NFC and AFC)
- When you look at FO's advanced stats page, there is an advertisement of a chick with the biggest tits I have ever seen. Awesomeness.
- I was surprised in how well Rob Gronkowski was doing in many categories. Maybe because I picked up Aaron Hernandez in the beginning of the year and trusted in blind faith he's do well. Plus, I pretty much stopped doing afternoon Box Score Tonight's and the Pats tend to play in the afternoon games or later. Maybe.
- Based upon a brief looking at statistical categories, I think a big reason the Kansas City Chiefs are doing do well is because they have an awesome offensive line. Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones are great talents so you add a great offensive line around them (mainly true for any running back; Cheifs ranked 2nd in the NFL in run blocking) and they'll succeed. Plus, we've seen in the past what Matt Cassel has been able to do with a shit ton of time in the pocket (KC ranks 8th in the NFL in pass blocking) and a stud wide out. FYI- Bowe is number one in the AFC with 14 touchdowns. Five more than second place.
- As a Patriots fan, I'm so glad to see no Peyton Manning on this list and to only see two Indy "names"
- I don't care what the statistics say, Philip Rivers is the #1 QB in the AFC and the MVP of the league. No way any QB puts up even THIS good stats with Patrick Creyton and Seyi Ajirotutu
