Mind-blowing stats for 2016 Week 6
Ezekiel Elliott and the NFL's best rushing offense tackle Clay Matthews and the best rushing defense in the league. Take a look at what makes them the best with these mind-blowing stats for Week 6.
The Cowboys-Packers contest features a matchup of the NFL's best rushing offense (DAL) vs the NFL's best rushing defense this season. The Cowboys lead the NFL with 155.2 rushing YPG, while the Packers have only allowed 42.8 rushing YPG.
With 200+ passing yards, Matt Ryan can match Dan Fouts for the most consecutive 200-yard games in the Super Bowl era (45). The last time Ryan failed to throw for 200 yards in a game? Week 10, 2013 in his last game against the Seattle Seahawks.
In his career, Tom Brady is 14-1 in his first home game of the season. Since 2007, Brady is 60-5 overall in New England. There are 6 teams in the NFL that don't have 60 wins total in that same span.
Only 1 QB has thrown multiple passing touchdowns in a game against the Broncos defense in the 2016 calendar year: Philip Rivers, who threw 2 touchdowns in Week 17 of the 2015 season against Denver on January 3, 2016. Since then, 8 games have been played against the Broncos, and no QB has thrown multiple passing TD in a game.
Russell Wilson is 1 win away from his 50th career victory. With a win over the Falcons in his 69th career start, he would tie for the 3rd-fastest starting QB since 1970 to reach 50 career wins, behind only Ken Stabler (62 starts) and Tom Brady (65 starts).
The Raiders offensive line has been dominant this season, allowing the fewest sacks (5) and QB hits (11) in the NFL. That protection has helped Derek Carr average 276.6 pass YPG and register a 102.3 passer rating, both of which would be career highs for a full season.
Le'Veon Bell will get a crack at the NFL's worst rushing defense this season. The Dolphins are the only team allowing over 150 rushing YPG on the ground this season, while Bell is 1 of only 2 RBs averaging 100+ rushing YPG (Ezekiel Elliott).
David Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald have carried the Cardinals offense this season. They've combined for 1,061 scrimmage yards, the most of any teammate duo in the NFL this season.
Colin Kaepernick regained the 49ers starting quarterback job after losing it in 2015. From 2012-2014, Kaepernick went 25-14 and had a 90.8 passer rating as a starter. In 2015, Kaepernick went 2-6 and his passer rating dropped to 78.8 in the 8 games he started.
The Panthers have 14 giveaways through 5 games this season, the most in the NFL. Carolina had just 19 giveaways all of last season.
