THE ARCHIVE
WEEK 18
Q: Tyrone Tracy eclipsed 1,000 scrimmage yards on Sunday, becoming the second Giants’ rookie to clear that barrier this season (Malik Nabers). The last time a team had 1,000+ yards from two rookies was back in 2006, when these two players did it for the Saints.
A: Reggie Bush (1,307) & Marques Colston (1,038)
Q: Trey McBride finally found the endzone in Week 17, scoring his first receiving touchdown in a season. He will officially avoid becoming the first 1,000-yard pass-catcher with zero receiving scores, but three previous players have managed 1,000 yards with just one receiving TD. The last time was back in 2021, when this player pulled off the unlikely combo.
A: Kyle Pitts (1,026 receiving yards, 1 TD)
Q: Baker Mayfield continues to sling it. He had five touchdown passes on Sunday, bringing him to 39 for the year. He—and Lamar Jackson—will be looking to join the club of active players with a 40+ TD season, joining Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford, and this player:
A: Russell Wilson (2020)
Q: After Tee Higgins’ three-touchdown performance on Saturday, the Bengals have now had two different players catch three touchdowns in a single game this season. Who were the last pair of teammates to each have a game with three receiving touchdowns in the same season?
Answer – Brian Westbrook & Terrell Owens (2004)
Q: Malik Nabers went off in Week 17, racking up 171 yards and two touchdowns vs. the Colts. He becomes the most recent receiver to have at least 150 yards and two scores in a game as a rookie, joining an impressive group. Which of these receivers did NOT pull it off in their first season?
A: CeeDee Lamb
WEEK 17
Q: The Commanders managed a stunning comeback win over the Eagles on Sunday despite turning the ball over five times. Who is the only other team to win a game with five turnovers this season?
Answer – Lions (Week 10 vs. Texans)
Q: Jonathan Taylor ran all over the Titans on Sunday, racking up 218 yards and three touchdowns. He became the first running back with at least 200 rushing yards and three scores since this player, who did it back in 2019.
A: Derrick Henry (Week 17 vs. Texans; 211 yards & three scores)
Q: Joe Burrow racked up 252 passing yards and three passing scores vs. the Browns on Sunday, bringing his streak to seven consecutive games with at least 250 yards and three scores to seven. That sets a new NFL record, breaking a tie that Burrow shared with this quarterback at six.
A: Tom Brady (2007 Week 5 thru Week 11)
Q: Michael Penix Jr. managed to win his first professional start, but the defense was the big story. They had two pick-sixes vs. the Giants, joining this team as the only squad with multiple pick-sixes in the same game this season.
A: Broncos (Week 13 vs. Browns
Q: Trey McBride was finally held in check in Week 16, snapping a streak of four straight games with at least seven receptions and 70 yards. Only two tight ends have had longer such streaks: Travis Kelce, and this player, who did it in five consecutive games back in 2019.
A: Tyler Higbee (Week 13 through Week 17)
WEEK 16
Q: Saquon Barkley will be looking to become the ninth player in NFL history with at least 2,000 rushing yards. How many of the other eight can you name?

Q: Brian Thomas Jr. had a big game for the shorthanded Jaguars on Sunday, tallying 10 receptions, 105 yards, and two scores. Who was the last rookie to have at least 10 catches, 100 yards, and two scores in the same game?
A: Ja’Marr Chase (Week 17 vs. Chiefs – 11 catches, 266 yards, 3 TDs)
Q: The Rams managed to beat the 49ers with zero touchdowns on Thursday Night Football, but that’s not quite as rare as you think. Can you name the other three teams to win games without putting the ball in the end zone this season?
A: Steelers twice (Week 11 vs. Ravens; Week 1 vs. Falcons), Commanders (Week 2 vs. Giants), Vikings (Week 12 vs. Jaguars)
