Sprint Game Ball Of The Week: Arian Foster

This post is sponsored by Sprint.

While it's tempting to award this imaginary game ball to Andre Johnson for a performance that was cut short on Sunday, there was another player whose effort has sort of been lost in the whole 'Dre-Innegan kerfuffle. 218 yards from scrimmage--to say nothing of how fantastic this guy has been all season--makes this a very easy call.

Star-divide

Last Sunday, Arian Foster had 30 carries for 143 yards and 9 catches for 75 yards. Your Houston Texans, as a team, posted 346 net yards of offensive output (188 rushing and 158 yards (178 yards gross, minus Matt Schaub getting sacked twice) passing). Thus, if my math is right--always a poor assumption--Arian Foster accounted for 76.1% of the Texans' rushing yards, 47.5% of the Texans' net receiving yards, 42.1% of the Texans' gross receiving yards, and...wait for it...63% of the Texans' total net offensive performance.

Yeah, I'd say that deserves a fictional award. I'd also suggest you people get ahead of the curve and start naming (or better yet, re-naming) your kids "Arian" as well, but that's your decision to make.

Too bad it is just fictional

We have a great running back in Foster.

Hoping weird stuff really does only come in 3's

Hey! What about 3 INts in a game?

I think it should be a split or GLover Quin. sure Rusty Smith isnt exactly a QB to fear A corner picking off 3 passes when given the opportunity 2 of those in the red zone to preserve the first shutout in franchise history should deserve some merit. Not to mention after the 2 weeks he went through before that. What are the odds he never tries to bat a ball again?

While I won’t deny Arian Foster was pivotal, if glover quin doesn’t make those picks. especially the one that gave us our first TD, this game would be alot closer..

Also Kudos for the coaching staff to finally rediscover after 10 weeks in that even if we come out with no points on a drive or score less points in the end having a running game that can effectively eat up clock makes our defense monumentally more effective. Its amazing they stumbled upon that its like they went back and looked at the tape from week 1 and had an epiphany… if Arian can keep the colts off the field for the entire second half I wonder what he can do if we tried this for 60 min?

Do you really love lamp, or are you just pointing out things and saying you love them?!

I love the everything

Especially the idea that he woke up late as if he missed his alarm, hopped onto the field late while putting on his shoes, and then had 200+ yards from scrimmage.
