Interesting things from around the NFL

nfl rumors

In the NFL stats, there should be a notation next to Wes Welker’s league-high 79 receptions that reflects he missed two games, which adds more impressive context to the production!

One Patriots stat that jumps off the page: They own a 34:26-25:34 time of possession advantage over their opponents this season, best in the NFL.

Top 5 blitzing teams in the NFL
Jets -- 57.9
Saints -- 49.0
Eagles -- 46.3
Steelers -- 45.6
Bears -- 44.1

Peter King of NBC suggests that the Indianapolis Colts are a "very, very dark horse" to secure Charlie Weis' services in 2010.

Such a move presumably would entail a retirement of retired offensive coordinator Tom Moore from his role as consultant. And it would potentially place a thick layer of frost on Weis' relationship with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

During the first half of todays game vs. the chiefs, running back LaDanian Tomlinson leapfrogged Marcus Allen and Edgerrin James to take over No. 10 on the all-time rushing list.
