Stranger NFL Things: ‘The Weirdest and Most Bizarre Statistics in Football’
(Full Video at Bottom of Page)
1. None of the five teams that beat the New England Patriots (Jaguars, Lions, Titans, Dolphins, Steelers) last season made the playoffs.
“Pound your chest but beating New England doesn’t mean squat. Don’t go crazy when they lose 3 or 4 games this year.”
2. The NFC East has not had a repeat division winner in 15 years.
“You’ve had multiple Super Bowl champions from this division, isn’t that crazy??”
3. Dak Prescott has the second most quarterback wins in the NFL the last 3 years.
“You guys keep telling me that Jason Garrett can’t coach and that Dak is no good, but you cannot be the second winningest team in the league if at least one of those guys isn’t a ‘B’ or ‘B+.’”
4. The NFL’s passing yards leader has never won the Super Bowl.
“Does that mean you’re too pass-centric, too reliant on the ‘big play’, and too reliant on speed receivers on the outside? That’s not good news for Patrick Mahomes!”
5. Since 1981, every Super Bowl winner has had a WINNING record through six games (at least 4-2, not 3-3).
“September isn’t everything but you better not start 0-3 or 0-2.”
6. The NFL’s number two all-time completion percentage leader is Kirk Cousins.
“You know Cousins can complete passes and move the chains, but he can’t carry you against a great team.”
7. The Browns haven’t won a Week 1 game in 14 years.
“They’re a 5.5 point favorite over a tasty Titans team Week 1!”
