I had counted that one under Hughes by mistake. It should now look like this:

Aldridge - 8 of 23, 118 yards, 2 interceptions, 3 sacks for -30 yards, 1 scramble for 0 yards. Also of note-- 6 of these were hurries. Also, at least 5 fades were run, which are lower percentage. at the same time, there were plays where there was miscommunication between receiver and QB. Also, only one checkdown for Aldridge. Makes you realize that when we ran play action, defense really wasn't worried about 2 of the receivers (Aldridge, Schwapp). They weren't known for pass catching.

Hughes - 16 of 23, 243 yards, 2 interceptions, 1 sack for -7 yards, 1 scramble for 0 yards (monster bowl game performance: 6 of 7 for 162 yards). Caught 3 checkdowns.

Allen - 12 of 18, 261 yards. 6 of these were check downs to Allen, so you can see his value when the first target is covered. 2 more were screen passes. Therefore, 8 of the 12 completions went to Allen. 2 sacks for -11 yards, 1 scramble for 0 yards.
