Jamie Juarez+FollowThe Jets’ 1st-Half Passing Is Historically BadContext for how rough it’s been: the Jets have just 578 net 1st-half passing yards (~44.5/gm), dead last in the NFL. Tennessee is 31st at 990 (~76/gm) — the gap (412 yds) between 31st and 32nd is nearly the same as the gap between 15th (ATL 1,403) and 31st (TEN). Since 1980, no team has finished under 50 1st-half pass yds/gm. Double the Jets’ total and they’d still be 26th. Net = includes sack yardage; even without sacks, the Jets could join only the 2011 Tebow Broncos with <1,000 1st-half pass yds in a season since 1980. What fixes this faster — scheme, protection, or personnel? #NFL #Jets #NFLStats #QBPlay #OffensiveLine 20Share
Pamela Owens+Follow“First Ever”: Jalen Hurts Commits Two Turnovers on One PlayPer ESPN Research (via Elias), Jalen Hurts is the first player on record to commit two turnovers in a single play. How does that even happen? Think Keystone Kops football: Hurts throws a pick (turnover #1), chaos on the return, ball squirts back to him for a beat… and he loses it again (turnover #2) before the whistle. What’s the wildest stat quirk you’ve ever seen? #NFL #JalenHurts #Eagles #NFLStats #FootballChaos #ESPNResearch #EliasSports #WeirdStats10Share
Edwin French+FollowMahomes Records the Worst Game of His Career — Passer Rating 19.8Patrick Mahomes just had the roughest outing of his career. Mahomes finished the game with a 19.8 passer rating — the lowest he has ever posted in an NFL start. His previous career low? 44.4 last season against the 49ers. This was also the first time in Mahomes’ career he’s thrown 0 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in a single game. For a QB known for being almost turnover-proof, this was uncharted territory — and it happened at a moment when Kansas City desperately needed a win. A rare off-night for one of the most consistent players of this era. #NFL #Mahomes #Chiefs #NFLStats #FootballTalk #AFCWest #KansasCity 20Share
Logan Scott+FollowThe Bears Finally Have a Positive Point Differential This SeasonFor the first time all year, the Chicago Bears are in the positive on point differential — sitting at +6 after Week 13.
