Factoid: Tight end touchdown to target percentage

A couple of days ago we ran a table showing what wide receivers turned the highest percentage of their targets into touchdowns last year. A couple of Packers and free agent wideout Anquan Boldin topped that list. Looking at tight ends, a pair of rookies figure prominently.   more »

It should pile up plenty of yards and points in what should be one of the higher scoring Super Bowls. The over-under is set at 59 points, a total that’s been reached only three times in the last 20 years.   more »
