-Greg Olsen is 83 yards away from his 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
-Rob Gronkowski is 69 yards away from his 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] 1,000-yard season.
-Gary Barnidge is 183 yards away from his 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 1,000-yard season. He’ll need to average around 45 yards in the remaining 4 games.
-Eric Decker is 199 yards away from his 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] 1,000-yard season. He’ll need to average around 49 yards in the remaining 4 games.
-Travis Kelce is 269 yards away from his 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 1,000-yard season. He’ll need to average around 65 yards in the remaining 4 games.
*Nelson and Edelman missed out due to injury, or else we'd have a chance at 7 different guys achieving the milestone this season.
Aside from Decker and Olsen having 100-yard games, a noticeable uptick in white defensive starters (Giants, Chiefs, Eagles, Vikings, and Texans all started 3 or more) and the mercilessly-maligned Blaine Gabbert playing well, it wasn’t a great week for white players or white-friendly teams. Woodhead is no longer being used in favor of Melvin Gorden and Donald Brown, 4 out of 5 Quotablacks (Newton, Taylor, Wilson, Winston) looked good in winning efforts, the Texans lost to the vile Bills, Seattle surging, Pittsburgh playoff-bound, Carolina undefeated, etc.
Should the Redskins lose tonight, the Eagles, who played 6 whites on offense and 5 whites on defense yesterday, could be in 1[SUP]st[/SUP] place in the NFC East after this week. With tilts against the Giants and Redskins forthcoming, the NFL’s whitest roster controls its own destiny.
