THE WEEK THAT WAS: NFL Week Sixteen
With commentary by Tim
- PSR: Play Success Rate - every play is graded as either a success or failure
- Big: percentage of plays that went for big gains...10+ yards for a run, 20+ for a pass
- Yds: adjusted yards per play, including penalties and excluding non-plays
- EFR: Effectiveness rating. One number overall summary.
- Stats Score: This is the projected score the TMW computer would have spit out if the stats for the game were the numbers coming in. This column lets us know who "should" have won.

The old Parcells magic gets Dallas riled up all good for an upset win. Still need some help I think if my math is right.

That's the stunner of the week in some ways, seeing the Chargers go down. Larry Johnson is the guaranteed lock for #1 player taken in fantasy football next season (sorry Shaun baby).

Loud applause for SF coach Nolan who has not let his team settle for a high draft pick. Loud boos for the Rams who gave up on this season like six weeks ago.

Favre deserves better than to go out like this. Yet can't see him playing for a different team next year. Said the same thing about Emmitt Smith I suppose. Jerry Rice...
