FATIGUE = “TIRED LEGS” DEFENSES
1). MINNESOTA VIKINGS DEFENSE: Were on field last week a whopping (82) plays and (70 and 70) plays two and three weeks ago. Making it worse is they are allowing insane yards (486 last week, 409, 458, 486) the prior three weeks. This D has no depth and can’t cover the kids in the neighborhood.
2). NEW YORK GIANTS DEFENSE: On field last week (77) plays. Two weeks ago on field (69) total plays.
3). MIAMI DOLPHINS DEFENSE: Last week on field (75) plays vs. a punishing rushing attack of the Niners. Note though this isn’t a normal cross country trip as they stayed in California this week after facing Niners so no long extra travel and now should be fully acclimated to the 3 hour time difference.
4). NEW ENGLAND PATS DEFENSE: On field (70) plays last week at Buffalo (they did play Thursday so getting 3 extra days rest).
5). TENNESSEE TITANS DEFENSE: On field (65) plays last week and (65) plays two weeks ago. They allowed 453 total yards to Philly last week and 374 to Cinci two weeks ago.
6). DENVER BRONCOS DEFENSE: On field (65, 65, and 61) total plays last 3 weeks and the Defense is starting to show some fatigue as the Offense can’t stay on field (only 50, 54 and 59) total plays last 3 games.
===============================================================
“FRESH LEGS” DEFENSES COMING INTO WEEK 14 NFL GAMES:
1). SAN FRAN NINERS DEFENSE: On field last week only (42) plays. Two weeks ago on field only (52) total plays.
2). CINCI BENGALS DEFENSE: On field last week only (52) total plays and only (55) total plays two weeks ago.
3). BALTIMORE RAVENS DEFENSE: On field last week only (50) plays, (57) plays two weeks ago, only (50) three weeks ago and were off on “Bye” week 4 weeks ago….hence they have QB issue but Defense legs are actually very fresh heading into this Sunday’s game vs. Steelers.
