In Week 13 six players gained at least 150 yards either on the ground or through the air. But we begin our weekly adventure through statistical fun with a game that was hardly a game at all.
5: The amount of players in NFL history to run for 100-plus yards in a game on only four carries, the latest being Tre Mason during the Rams’ 52-0 pummeling of Oakland.
100: Stedman Bailey’s receiving yardage during the first quarter of that game. He became the first Rams receiver in 15 seasons to reach or exceed 100 yards during the opening quarter.
307-130: The ugly offensive yardage scoreboard between the Rams and Raiders at the end of the first half.
183-22: A similarly gross offensive yardage scoreboard between the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals. This one was in favor of Atlanta… after only one quarter.
11: The amount of pass attempts Andy Dalton needed to throw three interceptions.
1986: The last time the Minnesota Vikings blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. So of course they did it twice in Week 13. Football is great.
254: Le’Veon Bell’s total yards from scrimmage during a loss to the New Orleans Saints. No seriously, that’s a real number and a thing that happened.
174: The receiving yards Patrick Peterson allowed while in coverage against Julio Jones, according to Pro Football Focus. We can safely say he lost this heavyweight fight.
26.4: DeAndre Hopkins’ average yards per catch during his day of absurdity when he also caught two of Ryan Fitzpatrick’s six touchdown passes.
32.4: Kenny Stills’ also ridiculous average yards per catch.
335: C.J. Anderson’s rushing yards over just the past two weeks, 168 of which came during the Broncos’ Week 13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
