This week saw some out of game havoc as the Broncos and Patriots had to psotpone their game to this weekend, and the Bills and Titans played on a Tuesday night.
The Packers took advantage of their bye week to not allow any excess havoc, continuing to lead the league. The Titans though have narrowed the gap, which is made a lot easier when Derrick Henry is shoving defenders to the groud and constantly picking up at least a few yards. One team I'll be interested in going forward is the Saints. Drew Brees has not looked very consistent so far this year with his ability to push the ball deep, and while they made a come back against the Chargers this week it wasn't pretty.
The Steelers maintained their dominating havoc rate lead this week as teams that had been closer to them such as the Jets and Giants both fell back towards league average this week. Minnesota and Houston have both struggled in the havoc department, posting 9% of their defensive snaps causing it. The Vikings should especially be concerned, since they rank second to last of teams that have played a full schedule in total haovc plays with just 31. Only the Lions have a lower number, but they've been more consistent on a snap per snap basis.
