I'm a yard off somewhere... that's what I get for trying to do this manually in a text file instead of in a spreadsheet.
If you see something incorrect, speak up. I likely made errors somewhere - in fact, I know I'm off by 1 yard on the rushing somehow but I can't find it.
This is based off the ESPN.com play-by-play and box score. Some detail is missing... what play was called when the penalties occurred? I have no idea. I think everyone agrees that the sacks and the fumble were called as pass plays, so that detracts a tad from the pass totals as I tallied this.
The real thing that concerns me is what happened on 3rd down - those plays were generally feast or famine. The rest, eh, not so bad.
I'm not football smart enough to dive deeper into the specific plays called. I just did this to throw some facts out there in contrast to some comments made so far.
If someone has a suggestion for how to format this with fixed-width font other than using a code block, please let me know so I can improve it.
