Robert Griffin III had a career day after 4 touchdowns and running for 84 yards. He threw to nine receivers. Six of them only had one catch. Pierre Garcon played but wasn't himself with only 3 catches for 5 yards. With four first-round worthy wide receivers in this next draft, it's obvious what this team needs. Maybe free agent Dwayne Bowe comes to town.

If there is no drama, Dez Bryant can dominate. He looked like the best receiver in the game against the Browns secondary (yes, some of that was because Pro Bowler Joe Haden wasn't playing). I know Cowboy Nation in Dallas and Stillwater is cheering him on, and I hope he can continue this streak. Nine catches for 120 yards and a touchdown in one half of football is hard to do in this game.

Here's a bust-of-the-year candidate: LeSean McCoy. He's at 705 yards and 2 touchdowns and was carted off the field against Washington with a concussion. This was someone in the top five of most drafts after scoring 17 touchdowns last season. With a new coach and quarterback next season looking like a reality, who knows if he will ever get back there.

For those scoring at home, Andrew Luck is 11 passing touchdowns behind Peyton Manning. They have thrown about the same number of yards. Luck's team is a game behind Manning's.

Why I don't believe Tim Tebow should be talked about as much as he is: 1/1, -1 yards. And this stat is after four quarters of football on Sunday. His season total? Forty total passing yards. Zero touchdowns. It's time for Rex Ryan to grab another snack.

5 reason why you hate fantasy football this season

Doug Martin had a touchdown stolen from him in what one of my friends who owns him called the worst replay review he has ever seen.

Matt Ryan should have thrown 4 touchdowns against the Cardinals. Instead he throws 5 interceptions and not a single touchdown pass.

After doing almost nothing all season, you play against Matt Schaub and his 527 yards and 5 touchdowns and you miss the fantasy playoffs.

After acting like the first quarterback chosen in your draft, Aaron Rodgers delivers a pedestrian 236 yards and 2 touchdowns when you need him to help you get in the playoffs.

After scoring 59 points as a team, the Patriot's Stevan Ridley can only get you 28 yards and a touchdown.
