Subject: Week 4 & cumulative passer ratings

I've added a couple things. I now include the totals for all the qualifying
passers in the week's statistics, so we can get an idea what the "average"
passer did that week. I've also included the cumulative total, derived from
all passers who attempted at least 10 passes in any given week. The numbers
do not necessarily add up "correctly" for the cumulative totals, since passers
(like Steve Deberg, for example) who didn't make 10 attempts during week 4
still have their numbers in the total. 

Lastly, the formula for computing a passer's rating is included at the end of
the statistics. 

As always, e-mail corrections are appreciated, and enjoy!
