His 10 total fourth quarter touchdowns since he took over as the starter in Week 10 of last season are the second-most in the NFL, trailing only Josh Allen. He also ranks first in the NFL in passing yards, passing touchdowns, yards per attempt, passer rating and game-winning drives in the fourth quarter over his last seven games.

56: The Chicago Bears scored 59 points on opening weekend before scoring just three in Week 2. That’s a 56-point discrepancy from Week 1 to Week 2. It’s also the second-fewest points a Ben Johnson-led offense has ever scored.
21.0: After scoring 18 points in the second half on Sunday, the New Orleans Saints currently lead the league in second half scoring at 21 points per game. If you include overtime, 48 of their 54 points scored this season have come in the second half.

ICYMI: One player has outgained the opposing team by himself in BOTH Monday Night Football games this season 🤯 Week 1: Kenneth Walker III 191 yards vs. Broncos (176) Week 2: Davante Adams 195 yards vs. Giants (182)
0-5: Since the start of last season, the New York Giants are 0-5 when Jaxson Dart has been injured and have a TD to INT ratio of 6 to 6. They’re 5-9 with him with a TD to INT ratio of 18 to 5.
12: Only 12 percent of teams that start the season 0-2 go on to make the NFL playoffs. That means the Texans, Dolphins, Colts, Commanders, Chargers, Buccaneers, Falcons and Titans all have uphill battles in front of them. Fortunately for them, at least one 0-2 team has made the playoffs every year since 2022, and three of them have made it in each of the past two seasons.
4: Only four teams since 1978 have gone the first two games of the season without reaching the red zone one time: 1992 Patriots, 1997 Lions, 2008 Rams and the 2026 Falcons.
1: The Green Bay Packers are the first team in NFL history to win a game with less than 200 yards, more than 100 penalty yards and a negative turnover margin. Teams were 0-44 before them.
4: The Los Angeles Chargers are the fourth team in NFL history to start the season off with two losses to teams that won three or fewer games the year before. The three teams before them won a combined four games that season.
77: After blitzing on over 80 percent of their defensive snaps last week, the Minnesota Vikings were aggressive in Week 2 again, blitzing Caleb Williams on 77 percent of his drop backs before he was injured late in the game. Williams went 12-for-21 with a pick against the blitz. Brian Flores is a psycho.
2014: The last time the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started the season 0-2 before this season was in 2014. That was the third-longest streak in the league behind Green Bay and Dallas.
