What happened

TD chance: the chance the player runs or catches a touchdown himself. A quarterback's touchdown passes are listed beside his passing yards. Player projections come from recent usage. They do not know about injuries, suspensions or depth-chart changes. Players who did not play are not graded.

Backtest: predicted using only games played before this one and the weather that was measured during it. Predictions are for entertainment and education, not betting advice. We publish no odds, lines or totals.
