Tom Brady on pace for his best season ever.
Peyton Manning on pace for his worst season since he was a rookie.
Here's who is on pace for the best and worst of the 2015 NFLseason.
Kevin Seifert, NFL Nation
Let's all play a game of "On Pace." You know: A guy runs for three touchdowns in Week 1 and we all jump up and down and shriek that he's on pace for 48 touchdowns this season. (That would be a record or something.)
Here at the midpoint of the season, of course, we can begin to make more meaningful and relevant projections. Those of us who are experienced "On Pace" players know that many statistics, particularly passing and kicking, tend to fade in November and December -- victims of weather, injuries and other factors. But with that in mind, let's consider a slice of NFL players who are on pace to finish among the best and worst in some categories.
As a searing optimist, I chose six of the former and four of the latter. So there. (Pro Football Reference's play index database provided much of this data.)
