Michael Vick

Monday, November 15, 2010

Michael Vick met Donovan McNabb at midfield as the final seconds ticked off the clock in the Philadelphia Eagles' 59-28 win over the Washington Redskins on Monday night, the man once entrusted with the Eagles' fortunes embracing the player who had replaced him.

By game's end, though, it was Vick who had put on a headline-worthy performance.
Vick, who was knocked out of the Redskins' win over Philadelphia earlier this season when he injured his ribs on a scramble, completed 20 of 28 passes for 333 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for another 80 yards and two scores.
Vick completed his first 10 passes, including an 11-yard shovel pass to LeSean McCoy that went for a touchdown and a 48-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin on the first play of the second quarter. He rushed for touchdowns on the Eagles' second drive, a seven-yard scamper, and on their last touchdown drive of the first half, a six-yard run.

Vick has completed 62.7 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions this season. He has rushed for another 341 yards and four scores.
"I could have never envisioned this," Vick said.
After two quarters, Vick had already topped 40 points in standard leagues. His first pass resulted in an 88-yard touchdown. His first run became a 7-yard score. Vick finished with the following totals: 333 passing yards, four TDs, 80 rushing yards, two TDs.

(Standard: 4 points for passing TDs, 6 for rushing TDs, 1 point per 25 passing yards, 1 point per 10 rushing/receiving).
According to the Roto Arcade research staff (me), Vick's fantasy total bumped Hall of Famer YA Tittle from the fantasy record book. Here's the box score. In the fantasy era, Mark Rypien's 47-point performance back in '91 was the top mark (442 yards, six passing TDs, rush TD).
(Also, if the blog's research staff somehow forgot any all-time fantasy totals, please share).

On Monday night, Michael Vick posted some incredible numbers, passing for 333 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 80 yards and two additional scores. With 49 fantasy points, Vick holds the best single-game performance of the 2010 season so far, but how does it rank since 2000?
It was his fifth 100-yard rushing effort in a streak of six to conclude the season, and in the process, he upstaged an even bigger (at the time) fantasy stud, the Chiefs' Priest Holmes (44 rushing yards, two touchdowns).

In only the second game at Qwest Field (then Seahawks Stadium), Alexander set an NFL record with five touchdowns in the game's first half, establishing his reputation as a premier prime-time performer. 3. (tie) Michael Vick, 2010 Week 10, 49
3. (tie) Mike Anderson, 2000 Week 14, 49: Huh? Who? 5. (tie) Fred Taylor, 2000 Week 12, 48: Boy, he was lucky to manage that many fantasy points all last season. Sadly, Holmes' Chiefs lost 39-32 to the Seattle Seahawks as Matt Hasselbeck starred for the Seahawks (362 passing yards, three touchdowns).

In a late-season cameo as the featured running back for the Browns, Harrison carried 34 times for 286 yards and three touchdowns, plus two catches for 12 yards, against the helpless Chiefs. No, "ADP's" big performance from his rookie season might linger in your brain because on this date versus the San Diego Chargers, he set the NFL's single-game rushing record with 296 yards. 11. (tie) Chris Johnson, 2009 Week 2, 45: Johnson became the first player in NFL history to record a 90-plus-yard rushing touchdown (91 yards), 50-plus-yard rushing touchdown (57) and 60-plus-yard receiving touchdown (69) in a game, ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky reports. Johnson finished with 284 total yards and three touchdowns.
