Week 4 of the 2012 NFL season is in the books and here are the TOX stats for the week along with the year to date numbers for all 32 teams at the bottom. The +2 or better number was back on track this week as it finished 10-1. That brings the year to date +2 number to 34-7 (83%), which is 3% higher than the expected number. The New Orleans Saints were the lone team to lose this week and they did so with a whopping +6 number. Trust me when I say that as long as quarterback Drew Brees is healthy, this team will start winning some games soon. The problem is that they are in the same division as the Atlanta Falcons and their best shot at making the playoffs now is as a Wild Card team. They are a long shot now to do it, but I wouldn\’t write them off just yet.
Teams with a +1 TOX stat went 2-0 for the week and that brings that year to date number to 11-5 overall.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Indianapolis Colts were both on a bye in week 4 and obviously their numbers stayed the same year to date. If you didn\’t know it by now, the New York Jets are in serious trouble now thanks to the injuries to Santonio Holmes and Darrelle Revis, who are easily the best players that they have on each side of the ball. They no longer have the ability to create many explosive plays on offense without Holmes and will allow even more on defense without Revis.
I will be tracking this stat throughout the year as it is a good measuring stick to show how important explosive plays and turnovers are in each and every game.
