Week 12 Target Leaders: 3 Johnsons and a Marshall
Throw it up and let the big guys make plays. That’s it. I don’t know that there’s any way to say it more simply. The NFL in 2012 is about pushing the ball downfield and making big plays. Each and every week, we see quarterbacks launching 40, 50, 60 pass attempts. Their top targets rack up double-digit targets each and every week. The games of Week 12 were no exception.
