The performances were outstanding across the board in week 14; naturally there weren't enough stand out performances in week 15 to warrant a poll or a ProUte of the Week award.
The success of the Atlanta Falcons (12-2, best record in the NFC) has brought up comparisons to the '98 team that finished the season 14-2 and made it to the Super Bowl. That team featured ProUte RB Jamal Anderson (1,846 yards on 410 carries), much like the current squad is built around Michael Turner (1,256 yards on 300 carries through 14 games). The two teams share a lot of similarities (there's even a Jamaal Anderson on the roster), but Mark Bradley, a blogger for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, states that the 2010 team is better overall. I'd say that's a bit premature, considering the season isn't over. Regardless of the outcome, Anderson had a stand out season in '98 with 16 TDs and the most rushing yards in franchise history. Who could forget the "Dirty Bird?"
