For the most part I was right, but we gotta wait until tonight for more.
Heres a quick list of yesterdays top performers:
Running Backs:
Arian Foster: The Texans sleeper-back had a booming 231 rushing yards on 33 tries, with 3 touchdowns. An unexpected impact player in the Texans victory over rival Colts, he showed his outstanding speed and burst in what ended up being a great game.
Matt Forte: The Bears came out trying running the ball which proved unsuccessful. So with new offensive coordinator Mike Martz doing what he does best, he decided to toss Matt Forte into the pass game, something he excelled at last year and is already showing promise in. Forte had 201 combined yards, 50 rushing, 101 receiving, and 2 touchdowns. Both touchdowns came off receptions, and both played a ton of impact on the game (Game winning touchdown, dump off turned into an 89-yard touchdown). Hopefully you didn't lose faith in him last season.
Quarterbacks:
Peyton Manning: Wow! Manning threw for 441 yards! Even though the Colts lost, Manning made it clear that his arm isn't rusty at all. Expect another big year from the 4-time league MVP.
Jay Cutler: Cutler had already thrown for 200 yards at halftime, after which many knew he was having a great game. He ended up with 372 passing yards, 2 touchdowns (both to the aforementioned Forte), but also threw a pick which did hurt his stats. With his young receiver Devin Aromashodu showing up, Cutler should put up big numbers this years in Mike Martz's air-it-out offense. Not without problems, of course, because he will throw plenty of picks, so be prepared.
Alright thats all I have for you. I'll be getting this up on my website soon enough. Sorry I've just been lazy lately.
