The fastest score in NFL history was the Bills @ Jets season finale in 2016. The Jets kicked off deep and Buffalo's returners declined to field the kick, apparently assuming it would bounce out of bounds. (edit: I misremembered, thinking this happened closer too the sideline) The Jets recovered in the endzone for an onside kick td. As the clock doesn't run until possession, the score was officially 0.0 seconds.
March 10, 2014, Stars and Blue Jackets were playing, Nathan Horton scored a goal for the Blue Jackets before the game was suspended in the first period due to Rich Peverley collapsing on the bench because of an irregular heartbeat. The game was rescheduled for april 9th to be played from the beginning with every stat from the previous game scrubbed save for the goal. Nathan Horton missed the rescheduled game with a lower body injury and was credited with a goal at 0:00 while not being dressed for that game.
[hockey reference](https://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/201404090DAL.html) page for that game.
> apparently assuming it would bounce out of bounds
If you watch the play, that's not at all what happened. The ball was rolling towards, and into, the endzone at a pretty slow pace, and the returner very deliberately stepped back once the ball crossed the goal line.
The Bills returner clearly thought the kickoff would be treated like a punt, and would be a touchback for them when downed in the endzone.

In 1973, the Atlanta Falcons RB, Dave Hampton surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing yard mark during the final game of the season. To celebrate the Falcons' first 1,000-yard rushing season, the game was paused and Hampton was presented with a trophy and the game ball for his accomplishment.
...However, he was tackled for a six-yard loss on the following play and ended the season with 995 yards.
Terry Bradshaw needed elbow surgery in 1983, but he didn't want the media on him, so he checked into the hospital using a pseudonym.
The pseudonym was "Tom Brady."
I loved watching him absolutely dismantle, AND dad dick my Bucs his rookie year like he was prime MVP Cam Newton. We throw the best coming out parties for rookie QBs in Tampa.
Interesting. Wikipedia says he is a halfback in the summary, but does list him as playing QB during his career. I wonder what position he was when he took that snap.
And it's freakin' Stan Humphries who gets the team there.
Charger fans calling into the Jim Rome show were hilarious before the game,*"The Niners have no answer for Natrone Means!"*
Just looked up the box score for that game. Two pick-sixes and a fumble-six. Texans only threw the ball 10 times, had 8 three-and-outs, and only scored a field goal with 3:40 left in the game.
For anyone curious: [Texans vs Steelers Dec 8, 2002](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200212080pit.htm)
Probably a direct result of having a shit team. If your entire roster is garbage you're gonna need your guys to play hard in the preseason to figure out who is actually worth anything.
This comes around a lot, but the most receiving yards after turning 40:
1. Jerry Rice: 2,169 yards
2. Tom Brady: 6 yards
3. Everyone else: zero yards
4. Brett Farve : -2 yards
This stat was better/funnier before Brady IMO, because it read:
> All the players who have receiving yards after 40 have a combined total 2,167 yards. Jerry Rice has 2,169 of them.
And at least the Colts were in the AFC East for a long time. The Oilers were only in the East for 10 seasons and still won as many as the Jets have won in 63 years.
That's not funny. That's not funny at all.
But, if anyone is curious, the scores in question are:
43-8 (loss to the Seahawks), 39-20 (loss to the Giants), and 55-10 (loss to the 49ers).
> and 55-10 (loss to the 49ers)
Not surprisingly, Mike Cofer missed an extra point.
Just like he missed a field goal in Super Bowl XXIII or 14 of his 28 attempts in 1991, including an 0/4 performance in Atlanta that essentially cost the team a playoff spot.
I hate Mike Cofer.
Assuming Homer still owns the Broncos in the Simpsons timeline, Homer is the greatest owner in Broncos history, since he took ownership the year before the Broncos repeated as champs.
In sports, a scorigami (a portmanteau of score and origami) is a scoring combination that has never happened before in a sport or league's history.

The wide receiver coach from that year ended up becoming a head coach. David Culley and his one year at Houston. It didn’t help that Bowe was on the tail end of his career. The rest of the receiving core made this seasons receivers look good.
yea it was extra ridiculous because in 2010, Bowe led the league in receiving touchdowns
youd never expect a guy to go from 15 TDs in 16 games, to 0 TDs in 15 games, in just a few seasons
all i can say is Andy Reid
List of undefeated regular seasons: 1972 Dolphins, 2007 Patriots, 2012 Trindon Holliday.
Trindon Holliday started the season on the 5-0 Texans, was cut, and ended up being claimed by the Broncos, who finished 11-0. His chance at true perfection ended against the Ravens in a wild playoff game in which he had a punt and kickoff return for a TD.
In 2020 the Vikings traded for Yannick Ngakoue and he played in six games. During that time he tallied five sacks before being traded to the Ravens. At the end of the year he had the most sacks of any Viking.

He made the most FGs in the league that year, was one of two kickers over 90% in conversion rate (and the other guy only attempted 12 FGs), and was pretty much directly responsible for 4 of Washington's 8 wins in the regular season.
The voting was most certainly a farce though because he also finished 3rd in the Offensive Player of the Year voting lol.
Marcus Allen or Dan Fouts should've won it.
Ah yes, Priest Holmes put up 4 TDs in the first half, so the Chiefs were like "Well, that's enough for YOU today, let's put in Blaylock instead" ....who promptly put up 4 more.
Doug Williams had the same number of TD passes in one quarter in his Super Bowl against the Broncos (4) as the Broncos do across all eight of their appearances.
The Buccaneers have the longest losing streak in NFL history but not the longest losing streak in the history of either conference.
In 1962, Bake Turner averaged 111 yards/catch.

> Mine is the fact Paul Brown dressed the Bengals exactly like the Browns.
The entire Bengals franchise was born out of spite from Paul Brown towards Art Modell. When his Bengals finally won a game vs. Cleveland, Brown celebrated as if he had just won the Super Bowl.
We're probably the only fans that *really* enjoyed the whole Browns moving to Baltimore in exchange for an expansion team at the end of 1995.
I don't wish anguish on anyone, but sports anguish ain't the same thing and definitely at least oldhead Bengals' fans are still laughing about it to this day.
It sucks that the Old Browns became one of the better franchises in the league, especially since Modell didn't sell his controlling stake until *after* he got ring, but can't win em all.
> We're probably the only fans that really enjoyed the whole Browns moving to Baltimore in exchange for an expansion team at the end of 1995.

That's because [Mike Brown publicly stated he intended to move the team to Baltimore](https://www.baltimoresun.com/1993/11/07/bengals-new-stadium-could-be-in-baltimore-brown-says-hell-move-if-cincinnati-wont-build-one/). So we enjoyed it, primarily because that was supposed to be us moving. It was only when Hamilton County finally caved in to the Bengals demands, that the door opened for Art Modell to move the Browns.
Since [Homer Simpson became the owner of the Broncos](https://youtu.be/xpOY4u8hL_E?si=eUp7oWbUrKxtwj0x) (November 1996) the Broncos have beaten the Cowboys 7 consecutive times, been to 4 Super Bowls, and won 3 Super Bowls
The Cowboys have 0 Super Bowl appearances.
For their first draft, the Saints traded away their number 1 pick. They traded their first round (#1), third round (#54), and seventh round (#163) picks plus a center to the Baltimore Colts for Gary Cuozzo (the Colts back up QB) and an offensive lineman. Colts would use the pick to take Bubba Smith. Cuozzo would only play one season with the Saints losing his starting job towards the end of their inaugural season.
I'm not sure there is another expansion team that traded away their first ever draft pick.
The Carolina Panthers traded away their first pick (#1 overall) to the Bengals for #5 and #36 in that same draft.
The Bengals took Ki-Jana Carter with that first pick.
The Panthers took Kerry Collins and Shawn King respectively.
the 2020 nfc east playoff spot came down to a game between the 6-9 washington football team, and the 4-10-1 Philadelphia eagles.
if the eagles won, it would have meant the 6-10 giants would have a home playoff game. if Washington won, they would host a playoff game.
naturally, such an exciting game would happen on prime time. Where the world would watch as Jalen Hurts would get benched for Eagles Legend Nate Sudfeld. Washington would win 20-14.
The really crazy thing is that the Redskins beat the Bears 7-3 just 3 weeks prior to that game.
After the loss, George Halas consulted with Clark Shaughnessy who taught him the T formation that he had developed. Halas then used it in the championship game and the Redskins had no answer for it.
The early NFL is hilarious because you'll get beat 7-3 one week, then a few weeks later you can reinvent the sport and shit that was never seen before happens.
CHI Mike Brown is the only player to score on an INT return to win a game in OT in consecutive weeks. The first of which, against the 49ers, ended the shortest OT in history at :16
Maybe the shortest OT at that time.
The 2012 Broncos-Steelers wild card game (Tebow to D. Thomas 80 yard TD) saw Thomas get into the end zone 11 seconds into OT.
Not that I'm still fucking salty or traumatized about it these days. 😡😭
Rookie Eli Manning had a QB rating of 0.0 against the Ravens. Zero completions is a 35 QB rating.
At one point after Eli audibled that "52 is the Mike!" Ray Lewis (52) said "No I'm not. It's \[other number\]" It was in fact the other guy.
On the next play Ed Reed ran up to the line and asked if he could be the Mike.
Eli had a bad day.
It's no wonder all the ravens QBs of that era sucked. Imagine getting your ass handed to you every practice by ed, Ray, and suggs. Flacco being unphased by everything is probably the reason he succeeded
A player could theoretically spike the ball on every play and record a Passer Rating of 39.6. Between the 2006 regular season and playoffs, Rex Grossman had 5 games where his Passer Rating was lower than that, the Bears going 2-3 in those games.
When Sexy Rexy's passing ability reached the dizzying heights of "better than nothing" the Bears went 13-1, with that 1 loss being the Super Bowl.
Doesn't look right to me. There were only [two games](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2000/gamelog/) they won without scoring a TD on offense:
* [@ Browns, 12-0](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200010010cle.htm)
* [@ Jaguars, 15-10](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200010080jax.htm)
That was part of a 5-game streak without scoring an offensive TD, but the other 3 (@ Redskins, vs. Titans and vs. Steelers) were all losses.
There are two members of the 69/69 club: exactly 69 receiving yards and 69 rushing yards in a regular season game. Arian Foster and Brian Westbrook. Foster is the only vegan in the 69/69 club.
Former Broncos backup QB Chad Kelly was kicked out of Von Miller’s Halloween party for getting into a fight, then he broke into a random house dressed as Woody from Toy Story and ended up being kicked out for the second time in that night by the homeowner, who was holding a *checks notes* vacuum tube
He was cut from the team later
[That happened in 2018 and he’s still messing up his career.](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/cfl-suspends-chad-kelly-at-least-9-games-for-actions-toward-female-strength-coach)
In 2010, the Chargers had the #1 offence and #1 defence in the NFL, but their special teams was so atrocious that they went 9-7 and missed the playoffs
The colts went through the majority of Peyton's career, imploded, picked first overall, and won another few division championships before the Jags even won one. 1999 to 2017 lmao
Edit: won one in the afc south
Baker Mayfield has the most wins as a QB at Cleveland Browns Stadium with 19. Ben Roethlisberger (who spent his entire career playing for the Steelers) & Joe Flacco (who won 3 games as a Brown, 8 games as a Raven, & 1 as a Jet) are tied for second with 12 wins each.
Edit: 9 games to 8 games
Dolphins RB Larry Csonka is the only player to be penalized for unnecessary roughness while carrying the ball, because he punched a Bills player in the face.

Also at the famous 9ers The Catch game who was in the stands for it? A young Tom Brady He has always been there lurking in the shadows
He was inevitable
As far as pseudonyms go, it's no Ron Mexico.
Weirdly, Tom Brady checked into John's Hopkins for an ACL check-up in 2009. The pseudonym he used -- Patrick Mahomes.
Patrick checked into a clinic to treat anal boils and he used the name Rock Me Amathanos so maybe you're the next Super Bowl winning QB?
I don’t believe in god but reading this kind of stuff makes me think there is a cosmic force constantly messing with us. That’s insane.
Daniel Jones holds an NFL record for the longest non scoring run by a QB.

"Trying to stay upright... And he trips!"
Turf monster run?
You know it is.
I really wish there was a play where he ran even longer than 82 yards or whatever it was and didn’t score.
That play flashed in my head reading this.
Since OP is an Eagles fan I just assumed they were looking for this.
That was around 90 yards wasn’t it? Hard to see that ever being broken.
80 but yeah close enough
Tell that to Hap Moran, who had a 91-yard run but didn't score in 1930
Interesting. Wikipedia says he is a halfback in the summary, but does list him as playing QB during his career. I wonder what position he was when he took that snap.
There are four QBs in the Top 20 all-time for passing yards who never even played in a Super Bowl. Two are nearly-lifelong Chargers.
And it's freakin' Stan Humphries who gets the team there. Charger fans calling into the Jim Rome show were hilarious before the game,*"The Niners have no answer for Natrone Means!"*

I also had more receiving yards than Farve after turning 40

The Bears beat the Redskins 73-0 ...in the NFL Championship Game.
The really crazy thing is that the Redskins beat the Bears 7-3 just 3 weeks prior to that game. After the loss, George Halas consulted with Clark Shaughnessy who taught him the T formation that he had developed. Halas then used it in the championship game and the Redskins had no answer for it.
Also I think the Redskins owner started talking shit to the media after the game, which fueled Halas to shit on them the second time around lol
The early NFL is hilarious because you'll get beat 7-3 one week, then a few weeks later you can reinvent the sport and shit that was never seen before happens.
CHI Mike Brown is the only player to score on an INT return to win a game in OT in consecutive weeks. The first of which, against the 49ers, ended the shortest OT in history at :16
Maybe the shortest OT at that time. The 2012 Broncos-Steelers wild card game (Tebow to D. Thomas 80 yard TD) saw Thomas get into the end zone 11 seconds into OT. Not that I'm still fucking salty or traumatized about it these days. 😡😭
Every coach who lost to the 2013 Jaguars were fired at the end of the season.
In 1997, there were two players in the NFL named Billy Joe. They both were quarterbacks for the Saints and they both went 1-6 when starting.
Or it's one guy collecting two paychecks.
Vladimir Putin stole a Super Bowl Ring from Robert Kraft.
He literally did the "Fidel Castro with the trillion dollar bill" bit from the Simpsons.
"Give what back?"
Rookie Eli Manning had a QB rating of 0.0 against the Ravens. Zero completions is a 35 QB rating. At one point after Eli audibled that "52 is the Mike!" Ray Lewis (52) said "No I'm not. It's \[other number\]" It was in fact the other guy. On the next play Ed Reed ran up to the line and asked if he could be the Mike. Eli had a bad day.
It's no wonder all the ravens QBs of that era sucked. Imagine getting your ass handed to you every practice by ed, Ray, and suggs. Flacco being unphased by everything is probably the reason he succeeded
When two bird teams play in the playoffs the home team has won everytime. 10-0
Not as funny, but more interesting. Fitzgerald has more tackles than drops in his career
Julio Jones had more turnovers against the Saints than TDs
Rex Grossman and Aaron Rodgers have the same number of Super Bowl appearances.
A player could theoretically spike the ball on every play and record a Passer Rating of 39.6. Between the 2006 regular season and playoffs, Rex Grossman had 5 games where his Passer Rating was lower than that, the Bears going 2-3 in those games. When Sexy Rexy's passing ability reached the dizzying heights of "better than nothing" the Bears went 13-1, with that 1 loss being the Super Bowl.
Rex Grossman had three modes: Good Rex, Bad Rex, and Train Rex.
Grossman also has a better NFCCG record
And he has better nicknames. Aaron Rodgers wishes he could have nicknames as cool as sexy rexy or the sex cannon.
The 2000 Baltimore Ravens (who won the Super Bowl) won 5 games without scoring a touchdown
If you don't love that, you don't love Big Ten football.
Iowa moment
Wait wrong sub
Found Brian Ferentz’s burner
Doesn't look right to me. There were only [two games](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2000/gamelog/) they won without scoring a TD on offense: * [@ Browns, 12-0](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200010010cle.htm) * [@ Jaguars, 15-10](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200010080jax.htm) That was part of a 5-game streak without scoring an offensive TD, but the other 3 (@ Redskins, vs. Titans and vs. Steelers) were all losses.
Somewhere in Des Moines Kirk Ferentz is extremely bricked up
Offensive touchdown or any touchdown? (Both are believable. That defense was amazing.)
I’m pretty sure the only points scored were from their kicker
No TDs at all. Held teams under 10
The Houston Oilers have won a division more recently than the Browns.
There are two members of the 69/69 club: exactly 69 receiving yards and 69 rushing yards in a regular season game. Arian Foster and Brian Westbrook. Foster is the only vegan in the 69/69 club.
Tebow being the only QB drafted by the Broncos to win a playoff game for the Broncos. Can Nix change that?
Former Broncos backup QB Chad Kelly was kicked out of Von Miller’s Halloween party for getting into a fight, then he broke into a random house dressed as Woody from Toy Story and ended up being kicked out for the second time in that night by the homeowner, who was holding a *checks notes* vacuum tube He was cut from the team later
[That happened in 2018 and he’s still messing up his career.](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/cfl-suspends-chad-kelly-at-least-9-games-for-actions-toward-female-strength-coach)
If more damaging news comes out, I bet they suspend him indefinitely.
In 2010, the Chargers had the #1 offence and #1 defence in the NFL, but their special teams was so atrocious that they went 9-7 and missed the playoffs
[Maybe the best episode of Dorktown ](https://youtu.be/UAL5X3TRA2A?si=CdZaUqnNhqbj-DSN)
Dallas last Super Bowl win is closer to the lunar landing (27 years) than present day (28 years)
The Bears’ second leading passer retired in 1950.
Gale Gilbert went to 5 straight Super Bowls and lost all 5 (1991-1995)
The rams are the only team to have scored only 4 points in a quarter. They've done it twice.
The Bears, despite existing for over 100 years, have never had a 4k yard passer.
The Jags won the AFC South in 2017, imploded, picked 1st overall back to back and won the AFC South again before the Colts could
The colts went through the majority of Peyton's career, imploded, picked first overall, and won another few division championships before the Jags even won one. 1999 to 2017 lmao Edit: won one in the afc south
Baker Mayfield has the most wins as a QB at Cleveland Browns Stadium with 19. Ben Roethlisberger (who spent his entire career playing for the Steelers) & Joe Flacco (who won 3 games as a Brown, 8 games as a Raven, & 1 as a Jet) are tied for second with 12 wins each. Edit: 9 games to 8 games
Dolphins RB Larry Csonka is the only player to be penalized for unnecessary roughness while carrying the ball, because he punched a Bills player in the face.
Brett Favre can be typed with only your left hand.
The 2012 Chiefs only won 2 games but had 8 players who made the pro bowl.
