Must be a boring week. Not much jumped out at me this week.

Dak Prescott threw for 227 yards in his debut, the most ever by a Cowboys quarterback in his first NFL game (Prescott broke previous Roger Staubach's franchise record of 220). What? Even Staubach?

Kirk Cousins passed for 329 yards against Pittsburgh, the most by any Redskins' quarterback against the Steelers since Doug Williams threw for 430 yards in 1988.

With 61,326 career passing yards, Drew Brees needs just 36 more to overtake Dan Marino (61,361) for the third most in NFL history. His 505 yards versus the Giants last November represented the highest single-game total ever against New York.

With three touchdown passes last week, Eli Manning now boasts the highest total in the league since the beginning of last season. Manning's 38 TD tosses edge Carson Palmer (37).

A.J. Green has caught 36 passes for 556 yards and three TD in his last four regular-season games versus the Steelers.

Antonio Brown has four career punt return TD, three of which have come against the Bengals.

The Dolphins rushed for just 64 yards in their 12-10 Week 1 loss at Seattle, their seventh game since the start of last season with 70 or fewer rush yards (tied for the most in the NFL).

Jarvis Landry hauled in seven passes in Week 1, and has now totaled 201 career receptions, fourth most in the NFL since he joined the league in 2014.

Ryan Tannehill has been sacked 189 times over his career, the most by any quarterback over that span (since 2012).

The Chiefs have an 11-game regular-season win streak, their longest in franchise history. Houston has won four consecutive regular-season games, which is tied with the Lions and Vikings for the second-longest active win streak in the NFL.

Josh McCown is 2-1 all-time against the Ravens, throwing for 885 yards, four TD and zero INT in those games. McCown threw for a Browns franchise-record 457 yards at Baltimore in Week 5 of last season.

Joe Flacco is 13-2 all-time against the Cleveland Browns, throwing for 3237 yards, 19 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in those contests.

The Rams won both games against the Seahawks in 2015, each contest decided by six or fewer points.

Doug Baldwin has a combined 25 receptions for 319 yards and two TD in his last four games versus the Rams.

Since entering the league in 2014, Mike Evans is in the top 10 in the NFL in receiving yards (2356, 10th), 25-yard catches (25, t-7th) and yards per reception (16.0, 10th; minimum 40 receptions).

The Colts have won two of the last three matchups with the Broncos, with each of the three games decided by seven or fewer points.

Andrew Luck is just 2-6 as the Colts' starting quarterback since the beginning of last season.

C.J. Anderson, who has yet to reach paydirt against Indianapolis, has 11 rushes for 61 yards (5.5 average) in two career games versus the Colts.

Matt Ryan has thrown for 200+ yards in 40 straight games, the longest active streak in the league.

Undrafted rookie Jalen Richard turned his first career carry into a 75-yard touchdown. It was the longest touchdown run by anyone on their first career carry since the merger.

This is the one that blew me away. Despite missing 11 games since 2013, Keenan Allen leads the Chargers in receptions over the last 3+ seasons.

Blake Bortles threw Allen Robinson's way 15 times in Week 1, the most targets of any receiver in the league last week.

Since joining the Bears in 2009, Jay Cutler is 8-2 in 10 Monday night games, posting a combined rating of 95.5 in those contests.
