Wolfpack In The NFL: Week 6

Torry Holt's 101 yard performance (5 receptions) in the Jaguar's 23-20 win over the Rams marked the first time he has gone over the century mark this season. In fact, this was the first time that Holt has gone for over 100 yards since week 13 of the 2007 season, when he reeled in 135 yards against the Falcons.

Holt has 27 receptions for 407 yards through six games. It should be noted that Holt ranks 13th in the NFL in receiving targets, with 47.

The Denver Bronco's defense was a thorn in the side of quarterback Philip Rivers last night, and the Chargers fell below .500, losing 23-34. Rivers was sacked 5 times in the game, with one of them causing a fumble (he actually fumbled three times, but only one was recovered by the defense) in the fourth quarter that set up a field goal for the Broncos. Despite Denver's harassing defense, River's played well, throwing for 274 yards and a touchdown.

Rivers has thrown for 1,519 yards (6th in NFL) and 7 touchdowns (3 interceptions) through 5 games. He also has a quarterback rating of 91.8 and is completing passes at a 59% clip.

The Arizona Cardinals defense shut down the Seahawks with a very balanced effort in Sunday's 27-3 victory. In fact, the leading tackler only needed 4 tackles to lead the team, and that was Adrian Wilson. Wilson also had 2 tackles for loss and 2 QB hits.

Wilson has 21 tackles (4 for loss), .5 sacks and 1 forced fumble through 5 games.

To say that things were ugly for the Tennessee Titans defense on Sunday would be an understatement. The environment was perfect for a low-scoring game with the ground covered in snow, but Tom Brady saw it as a perfect opportunity to throw the ball for 380 yards and 6 touchdowns. In the 0-59 dismantling, Titans linebacker Stephen Tulloch had 12 tackles. Tulloch has reached double-digit tackle totals in 4 out of 6 games.

Tulloch has 57 (6th in NFL) tackles (3 for loss), 1 sack and 1 pass deflection through 6 games.

Steven Hauschka had a chance to be the hero for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday against the Vikings, with a chance to ice the game at the end of regulation with a 44-yard field goal. Unfortunately, Hauschka's kick went wide left and the Vikings escaped with a 33-31 victory. Hauschka did connect on a 29-yard field goal at the end of the first half and connected on all 4 of his PAT's.

Hauschka has connected on 5 of his 7 field goal attempts through 6 games. Each of his missed field goals came from beyond 40 yards. He has connected on all 22 of his PAT's.

Mario Williams had 3 tackles (2 solo) in the Texans 28-17 victory over the Bengals. It should be noted that Super Mario has been hampered by an injured shoulder over the past couple of weeks, which might give reason for his quiet statistics over that stretch. He has been held out of contact in practice for the past two weeks, but the Texan team doctors feel that he is close to being back to 100%.

Williams has 21 tackles (4 for loss), 2 sacks and 1 forced fumble through 6 games.

Jerricho Cotchery did not play in the Jet's 13-16 overtime loss to the Bills due to a hamstring injury.

Cotchery has 24 receptions for 360 yards and 1 touchdown in 5 games.

Tank Tyler had one tackle in the Chiefs 14-6 victory over the Redskins. Tyler was traded prior to today's trade deadline to the Carolina Panthers. We will have more details on this trade later today.

Tyler has 22 tackles (1 for loss) through 6 games.

Brian Clark played as a reserve in the Buccaneers 21-28 loss to the Panthers. Clark has seen action in all 6 games this season for Tampa Bay.

Clark has 1 reception for 17 yards through 6 games.

DaJuan Morgan played as a reserve in the Chiefs 14-6 victory over the Redskins. Morgan has seen action in all 6 games this season for Kansas City.

Morgan has 3 tackles through 6 games.

Scott Kooistra was inactive for the Bengals for the third straight week.

After starting the first two games of the season, Sean Locklear still remains inactive with an ankle injury.

Leroy Harris was in active in the Titans 0-59 loss to the Patriots due to a concussion. Harris had seen action in all 5 games going into week 6.
