Welcome to a special “fall back” edition of NFL sad stats of the week.
And while we were turning our clocks back (just kidding, what is this, 1998?
That’s not a sad stat.
That’s a happy stat.
Stick with me here - I can spin out of this.
Wait, isn’t there…
I have a question for Nate and PFT: what the fuck???
We were peeing our pants in kindergarten the last time this happened.
Let this be a sad stat lesson.
Just because the Commanders won in Week 9 doesn’t mean they are absolved from making the blog.
Also slow developing bladders are more common than you think.
But Sunday marked the Commanders 529th game without a shutout going back to their Super Bowl winning 1991 season.
The Commanders franchise has literally won a Super Bowl before shutting out any team.
Typical DC Commie move.
Let’s call these “gentlemen’s shutouts”.
For the record, they managed to lose two such “gentlemen shutouts”.
This is the worst yards per dropback (min 20 passes) this season and 13th worst since 1999.
All hail Spergyn Wynn’s -.85 in Week 14, 2000.
Because I would have taken the Tuneover.
Things would go about as expected.
Gotta start somewhere.
It was the most inspiring rookie quarterback performance of the day for that reason.
Sure Stroud did some things, but did he make YOU believe you could throw an NFL touchdown pass?
I don’t think so.
Joey Slye from 27 in Week 7.
And Blake Grupe from 29 in Week 6.
In Slye’s defense, it was blocked - but this is a bad look for these three.
Not even Brett Maher showed up on this stat.
Dare becomes the first running back to ever attempt or make a field goal since the merger.
Meaning the entire position is 100% in making field goals.
Tough look for the running backs don’t matter crowd.
Image the prop bet on this baby.
What a thrill that all would be.
That’s how you know it’s real.
That’s it for Week 9.
I’ll be back for Week 10 - that’s a promise.
