Good One, NFL by the numbers fast becoming one of my faves! Cant let you off the hook picking buffalo to beet pats!
A few more for ya:
420 - The favorite number of returning Dolphins RB Ricky Williams, who "may or may not" be starting in Monday's game. At 0-10, they're going to start him. Really, what do they have to lose?
4 - Number of touchdowns scored and number of turnovers caused, and number of sacks generated by the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Thought I'd add to the equation.
