Denymn Friday Turns in Season-Best Performance

This season, Friday has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 134.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.4 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 5.8 rushing yards.
