CLOSING RANKS

Want to know who finishes strongly as you plot out trade packages for a play-off push? Below are the top active performers at each position for Games 9 through 16 over the past three seasons (minimum of 12 games played). Granted, this data must be taken in context: Marc Bulger became the top QB yardswise with Orlando Pace protecting him, and Larry Johnson (left) had more All-Pros blocking for him then than now. But these numbers show who tends to stay strong as the season trudges on.
