Somehow, cold impersonal statistics just don't catch the glory of Sanchez forgetting the play he was running, improvising by rushing forward full-steam into the stout derriere of his protector Brandon Moore, then watching his resulting "butt fumble" be run back by the Pats for a TD -- as their third in 52 seconds.
Football remains a game that has to be watched to be truly appreciated.
Ken, Thanks for heads up. I had a filter in there that only included RBs who had > 20% of their team's carries. Not sure why I did that, but I think it was just a carry over from the main ranking page at some point.

I'm a bit surprised that Justin Forsett wasn't among the top RB's of the week on the strength of his Schwartz challenge play.

It's fixed now.
The Sanchez play was too funny. Unreal.
