Week 16 Stats of the Week

Stat of the week No. 1: Kansas City's division title extended an NFL record streak to eight consecutive seasons that a team has gone from "worst to first" in a division.

Stat of the week No. 2: Drew Brees has now completed 400 passes in a season three times.  No other QB has done it more than once.  The only other QBs with 400 completions in a season are Peyton Manning, Gannon, Moon, Warner and Bledsoe.

Stat of the week No. 3: The Detroit Lions have won three straight games for the first time since 2007.  They have now won back-to-back games for the first time since 2004 under head coach Steve Mariucci.

Stat of the week No. 4: Sam Bradford has the most wins by a rookie quarterback drafted No. 1 since 1970.  He also has 335 completions this season, which breaks Peyton Manning's rookie record of 326.

Stat of the week No. 5: Arian Foster has 2,030 yards from scrimmage this season, joining Priest Holmes (three times, 2001-2003) as the only undrafted players in NFL history to record at least 2,000 yards from scrimmage.
