J.J. Watt set a Pro Football Focus grading record last season with a mark of +101.6.

The Houston Texans have struggled at times this season, but Watt is actually on pace for +101.7.

Watt's glamour numbers are down with 4.5 sacks and three passes defensed, but his overall production remains incredibly high.

When Terrelle Pryor was coming out of high school, he strongly considered committing to Oregon before eventually deciding upon Ohio State.

With Chip Kelly now head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Pryor appears to be the ideal quarterback for that offense.

"That offense is tailor-made for Terrelle," said Ray Reitz, who coached Pryor at Jeannette High School in western Pennsylvania. "He can run. He can throw. He's big and strong. He's the total package. I think he'd flourish in that offense."

"Chip was one of my favorites," Pryor said in a conference call. "I probably would have been with him if he was a little closer. It's pretty out there, Oregon was, and it wasn't a good distance for my family. That wasn't a good deal for me."

"There are two guys that I've had an opportunity to coach against - Cam Newton and Terrelle Pryor - that when you look at them, they kind of look like an NBA power forward, but they can run," said Pryor.

A return to the Kansas City Chiefs was widely rumored for Tony Gonzalez, but a trade never came close to reality.

The Atlanta Falcons are virtually out of playoff contention, but a low-round draft pick for Gonzalez wouldn't have been worth it in leaving Matt Ryan without another reliable receiver.

Gonzalez plans on retiring at the end of the season.

Chip Kelly has heard suggestions that the Philadelphia Eagles could be better off losing games over the remainder of the season in an effort to have a higher draft pick.

"We're all about winning games," Kelly said Wednesday. "If we start planning long term, I might not be here long term." 

The Philadelphia 76ers are essentially conceding the 13-14 NBA season in order to have a high draft pick.

"It doesn't come in," Kelly said. "It's about beating Oakland. That's it. It's a one-week season, and that's all there is. Last week, it was beating the Giants. There wasn't, 'Hey, what are we going to be like next year, let's active G.J. (Kinne, the practice squad quarterback) and throw him into the mix.' That's not our mentality." 

Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III have quickly improved their respective teams, though the Seattle Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson in the third round and Colin Kaepernick was a second round pick in 2011 by the San Francisco 49ers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are reconsidering how they use Darrelle Revis.

The Buccaneers will possibly use Revis in more man-to-man coverage.

"We need to make sure we're accentuating our best players, putting them in the best position to make plays better than we have," Greg Schiano said. "That's something I've looked at hard, and I know our coaches have looked at it as well."

The Buccaneers had thought that Revis would be better in zone coverage while coming back from a torn ACL.

The Green Bay Packers are loaded with players drafted or signed as undrafted free agents.

Of the 53 current Packers, 50 players have never played for any team other than the Packers.

Calvin Johnson caught 14 passes for 329 yards and one touchdown, shattering the single-game receiving record of 238 yards set in October of 1973 by Harold Jackson of the Los Angeles Rams.

Johnson had seven 20-plus yard receptions.

Johnson was also tackled inside the 5-yard line four times.

The Trench Counter attempts to determine which teams win the battle at the line of scrimmage and isolate flukish plays. With seven weeks of data in the books, the Trench Counter can identify teams that are overrated or underrated relative to their record and the perception of oddsmakers in Vegas.

Here are three games that are vulnerable for bettors based on the Trench Counter.

Green Bay Packers (6.32) at Minnesota Vikings (-3.98), Packers -8.5:  Minnesota has struggled mightily over the past two weeks in the Trench Counter, averaging -9.60, even worse than the Jacksonville Jaguars (-8.30). Despite injuries to their receivers, Green Bay has put together a string of great games, placing them third in the year to date rankings. Add in Adrian Peterson's hamstring injury and the Packers cover at Minnesota.

Washington Redskins (-0.97) at Denver Broncos (4.56), Redskins +13.5: Since Week 2, the Redskins have moved up in the Trench Counter rankings from 30 to 19. Denver on the other hand, has been average over the past three weeks. This one we focus on trends. With Robert Griffin III now playing like last year's version, the Redskins may not win this in Denver, but they keep it close enough to take it with the big spread.

Seattle Seahawks (9.49) at St. Louis Rams (-5.64), Seahawks -10.5:  Yes, Seattle plays much worse on the road than at home. Yes, Seattle lost two of the past three seasons at St. Louis. Yes, Seattle only outscored four road opponents by a total of 14 points. However, none of those teams had Kellen Clemens starting at quarterback. Seattle, the top team in the Trench Counter rankings, win and cover.

Jordan Reed has emerged as one of the NFL's next dominant tight ends.

Reed was a third round pick by the Washington Redskins.

"The guy will be sensational," Jaworski said, per ESPN.com. "He's one of the guys that jumps off the tape at you. I like to use the word 'flash.' We saw a little bit of it earlier this season but clearly against Chicago I saw a lot more of it.

"We were talking here, he reminded us on the field of an Aaron Hernandez," Jaworski said. "He has that kind of wide receiver movement for a big guy. This guy is going to scare the hell out of defenses. They can't load up the box when you have the ability to get him down the field matched against linebackers and safeties. That's a mismatch. He has a chance to be really good. We talk about splash plays; the splash plays against Chicago came from him."

Pro Football Focus reports that Reed has caught 84 percent of his targets, which leads all tight ends.

The identity of the San Francisco 49ers' offense during the tenure of Jim Harbaugh has been to focus on the running game.

The 49ers had the second fewest passing attempting in 2011 and 2012, and now rank last in passing attempts in 2013.

Colin Kaepernick threw for over 400 yards in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, but the 49ers have shifted more toward the run in the subsequent weeks.
