Week Four Stats of the Week

Stat of the week No. 1: The St. Louis Rams ended a 15-game losing streak against the NFC West and have now held their first four opponents to 17 points or fewer for the first time since 1978.

Stat of the week No. 2: Terrell Owens had 222 yards receiving, which was the second highest of his career and the second-most in franchise history. At 36 years, 300 days old, T.O. is the oldest in NFL history to have a 200-yard receiving game. Owens also passed Isaac Bruce for second all-time on the receiving list with 15,325 career receiving yards.

Stat of the week No. 3: Josh Scobee’s game-winning 59-yard FG was the longest field goal in franchise history and the third-longest game-winning field goal in the NFL since 1983.

Stat of the week No. 4: Kyle Orton has 1,419 passing yards this season, the second-highest total through the first four games to start a season in NFL history (Kurt Warner had 1,557 yards in 2000).

Stat of the week No. 5: Tony Gonzalez became the 17th player in NFL history, and the first TE, to reach 12,000 receiving yards.
