Running back Giovani Bernard did not play due to a knee injury so he also did not get the Archers any points last week. Wide Receiver Emanuel Sanders had the majority of the team’s points by having 6 receptions for 102 receiving yards and a touchdown to go with it. The Archers defenses (Pittsburgh Steelers) did not play this week either due to having a bye. The Archers seven game losing streak is ranked 16 out of 16 and is currently in last place.
