RSS Feed2016 Week 15 Passing Statistics
By Chris Malumphy
Dolphins' backup quarterback Matt Moore, starting for the first time in nearly five seasons, threw for a personal high four touchdowns and kept Miami in the playoff hunt despite the injury to Ryan Tannehill. Brock Osweiler was pulled, and may have lost his job to Tom Savage, as the Texans needed to rally to overcome Osweiler's two interceptions to beat the Jaguars. Evan though Carson Palmer played well, it was not enough for the Cardinals to come home victorious as Drew Brees and the Saints put even more points on the board. Eli Manning has always been one of those quarterbacks who doesn't amaze you with his overall statistics, but often comes home as a somewhat surprising victor. In Week 15 he out dueled the Lions' Matthew Stafford in a battle of former top draft picks. For the fourth time in 2016, the Vikings' Sam Bradford completed more than 75 percent of his passes and lost. For the second week in a row Bears' backup Matt Barkley put up some gaudy passing numbers while losing close games; three interceptions didn't help in the Week 15 27-30 loss to the Packers. Another bad week for the Jaguars' Blake Bortles and the Eagles' Carson Wentz. The Cowboys also held Jameis Winston of the Buccaneers in check. Neither Marcus Mariota or Alex Smith could accomplish much in the way of passing in the tight battle between Titans and the Chiefs. Andrew Luck had the best passing day yet this year against the vaunted Vikings' defense. In the Monday night game, the Panthers' Cam Newton outplayed Washington's Kirk Cousins.
