Mind-blowing stats for 2016 Week 10
Richard Sherman and Tom Brady are members of the best teams in their respective conference. See which player gets the better of the other with this week's mind-blowing stats.
Dak Prescott and his Week 10 opponent, Ben Roethlisberger, have the two highest winning percentages by rookie quarterbacks in NFL history (min. 8 starts). Roethlisberger went 13-0 as a rookie in 2004 (winning percentage of 1.000), while Prescott is 7-1 (.875).
Ezekiel Elliott needs 109 rushing yards to become the second Cowboys rookie to reach 1,000 in a season, and 117 rushing yards to break the team record held by Tony Dorsett (1,007 rush yards).
Richard Sherman has gotten the better of Tom Brady in their two-head-to-head meetings, including the �U Mad Bro� game. Brady has targeted Sherman 10 times in coverage, completing only 4 passes for 38 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, and a passer rating of 11.7.
Since 2013, the Patriots have been the best team in the AFC (43-13), while the Seahawks have been the best team in the NFC (40-15-1).
Von Miller needs half a sack to reach 70 for his career. If he gets that half a sack (something he has done in eight of nine games this season), he will tie Derrick Thomas as the third-fastest player to reach the milestone (82 games), behind only Reggie White (57 games) and J.J. Watt (75 games).
Matt Ryan for MVP? His 119.0 passer rating would be the fourth-best in NFL history in a season. Two of the top three single-season passer ratings were by QBs who won the NFL MVP: Aaron Rodgers (2011) and Peyton Manning (2013).
A.J. Green needs 104 receiving yards to reach 1,000 for the season. He would join Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history to record 1,000 receiving yards in each of their first six seasons.
No quarterbacks have thrown more TD passes than the 13 by Aaron Rodgers and Marcus Mariota since Week 5. Even with those 13 TD, Rodgers and the Packers are 2-3 over the span, while Mariota and the Titans are 3-2.
After starting 5-0, the Vikings have lost three straight games and are scoring just 12 points per game during that skid. Since the 1970 merger, only two teams have started 5-0 and then lost their next four games: the 2009 Giants (finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs) and 1989 Rams (finished 11-5 and made the playoffs).
This season, DeMarco Murray is back to the 4.6 yards per rush he was averaging with the 2014 Cowboys. How is he doing it? Murray leads the NFL this season in rushing yards after contact, with 418.
