Darien Rogers and Co. Win Sixth in a Row

This season, Rogers has thrown 17 touchdowns (and no picks) while averaging 220 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.8 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 37 rushing yards.
