Around SBN: Fedor vs Rogers Results and Live Coverage

Turner [who had the worst week of any runningback this week] required 31 carries to get those 120 yards, meaning he was gaining only 3.9 yards per carry. That's not an awful figure, but what doomed Turner were when and where the yards were gained. He was 1-of-3 on third and fourth downs, including a fourth-and-goal stop from the 1-yard line. In total, he had eight carries inside the red zone, gaining only 7 yards. Six yards came on one carry, meaning that on seven carries inside the most dangerous and opportunistic part of the field, he gained 1 yard total. Those 31 carries begat only five first downs. He gained 2 yards or less on 17 of his 31 carries. He wasn't thrown a single pass. He fumbled. He didn't score a touchdown. When you take a close look at Turner's day, all he has to show for it are the yards.

Yay?

Also, how could he possibly have a worse week than LT?
