One other major stat I noticed. Deflators QB has not been sacked this season.

That is Week 14 under the belt see next week as we see how the play off picture looks.

They are a tough side to play against and probably one of the best defences in the league. I Gotta Find A Way to stop the sacks and I don't know how

Awesome work

Thanks again.
