Zack's Facts •         The Bears 281 total rushing yards against the Eagles is by far the most rushing yards given up since Vic Fangio took over            DC as the previous high was just 174. In fact, this is the most rushing yards allowed by a Fangio defense since he was the Texans DC in 2005. •         The Vikings are the first team since at least 1950 to have two different QBs each throw a pick-6 in their first career start in the same season. •         Vikings' 294-game scoring streak comes to an end in 26-0 loss to Seahawks •         With his pick-six today, Matthew Stafford is just one pick-six away from tying Brett Favre for the all-time career record. •         Eliminated from playoff contention this week: Raiders, Titans, Saints, Cardinals •         Trevor Lawrence has 20 games with passer ratings 100 and above. 8 of those have come against the Colts and Titans •         The Colts are 7-0 when Jonathan Taylor scores a touchdown, and 1-4 when he doesn't. •         With RB Myles Gaskin's joining the Seahawks 53-man roster today, he'll be the first player in history to officially play in Seattle            at every football level - High School (O'Dea), College (University of Washington), and NFL (Seahawks) •         The Minnesota Vikings had over twice as many turnovers (5) as they had third down conversions (2) •         The AFC North is the only division without a team with a winning record. Every other team has at least 2. •         Myles Garrett, TJ Watt and Maxx Crosby (Three of the highest paid defensive players) have a combined team record of 11-25 •         The Bills have rushed for 249 yards, the most against the Steelers in Pittsburgh in 50 years. •         The Carolina Panthers are 2-0 as 10 point underdogs this season. The rest of the NFL is 0-14. They also are tied with the 2016            Buccaneers with the most upset wins (7) in the first 13 games of a season since 1970 •         Rams QB Matthew Stafford now has thrown 28 consecutive TDs without throwing an INT. That's a new NFL record,            surpassing a record Tom Brady held. •         Justin Jefferson is averaging 40.3 receiving yards per game with McCarthy/Brosmer as the QBs this season. •         The Broncos have recorded 10+ wins in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2015 with Peyton Manning. •         For the first time in Lamar Jackson's career as a starting QB, he has gone three consecutive games without throwing a TD pass.            Jackson in his last three games: 0 TDs, 3 INTs, 2 fumbles lost, 8 sacks •         Before today, the Bengals defense had only forced 10 turnovers all season. They had 5 against the Ravens •         Micah Parsons becomes first player in NFL history to tally 12 sacks in each of his first 5 seasons •         Cowboys players Quinnen Williams, Osa Odighizuwa, and Kenny Clark since Week 11 have combined for: 45 pressures / 5 sacks -           10 QB hits / 30 hurries - 17.5% win rate. All rank top 10 in pressures at their position. •         The New England Patriots are the first team since 1999 (Peyton Manning and the Colts) to have a ten game winning            streak a year after losing 13+ games. •         Thirteen games into his rookie season, Abdul Carter has had more benchings (2) than sacks (1.5) •         Chiefs are the most penalized team in the NFL on the road, twice as much as at home.
