CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS: ADJUSTMENTS TO WEEKLY UPDATE STATS
Houston Offensive Line Grade (5.8) vs. Minnesota Front Seven (5.9) = -0.1 in the trenches
Minnesota Offensive Line (5.7) vs. Houston Front Seven (5.8) = -0.1 adjustments to running averages
Houston QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.4) + OL (5.8) - Minnesota F7 (5.9) - SEC (6.6) = -0.13
