There is another player who happens to be a kicker, and he has put more points on the board than others who have scored in the first six weeks of the 2011 regular season.
Sebastian Janikowski has scored 32.5 percent of the 160 points that the Oakland Raiders have made.
At this point, Darren McFadden has scored 30 percent of the 160 points.
Fans love to see touchdowns, but the data shows that the kicker is very important in the game.
On several occasion during recent years when the scoring looked dismal, Janikowski made us cheer with those field goals flying through the air like cannons during the Civil War.
Michael Bush and Denarius Moore have scored 18 points each.
The major portion of the points scored in 2011 so far have been scored by Janikowski, McFadden, Michael Bush and Denarius Moore.
