Benson illustrates why touches are so important. Even though he only averaged 3.4 yards per touch, he got an astounding 34 touches which made him very productive this week. |

Mendenhall is taking the opportunity given him and taking off. If he can overcome his tendency to fumble in the red zone he will really be fantastic. |
