TEXANS’ SCHAUB HAS ALL-TIME RECORD WEEK; P.MANNING TAKES OVER SEASON LEAD

Big week and big news in The Miami Herald’s Passer Success System (PASS) quarterback rankings. The Texans’ Matt Schaub captured the Week 11 title with an all-time record 71.35 points. That’s the best in the 15 years of the chart, topping the previous high of 66.00 points by Tom Brady in 2009. And at the top of the chart, Peyton Manning overtakes Matt Ryan for the season lead. With byes now out of the way, it is looking like a four- or perhaps five-man race for the season crown. Meantime Dolphin Ryan Tannehill falls two spots to 27th place. Our rankings use a simple formula unchanged since their inception in 1998, factoring accuracy, yardage, TD/INT ratio and team result. Most ratings including the NFL’s are complicated and percent-based, allowing a player to miss half a season injured and still win a title, while ours are cumulative and place a premium on productive QBs who avoid injury or benching. Our updated 2012 rankings appear in this space every Sunday.

    Greg Cote: Knicks would have been spicier matchup for Miami Heat

    Miami Heat players have been steadfastly neutral in claiming no preference as they waited for Indiana and New York to figure out which would play the underdog in the NBA’s upcoming Eastern Conference finals. Confident champions do not deign to worry about who’s next; they leave the worrying to opponents. The lion who runs the jungle does not much care if he is feasting on zebra or antelope, after all.

    IN MY OPINION

    Greg Cote: Miami Heat’s playoff health tied to Dwyane Wade

    Most of the unusually low numbers from this game should delight Heat fans. Those numbers stunk up this city Monday night and all but required the Bulls arena to be immediately fumigated following this NBA playoff series Game 4 here. Those numbers were Chicago’s meager 65 points scored on abysmal 25.7 percent shooting — both owing largely to a Miami defense that is that good, yes.
