Week Seven Stats of the Week

Stat of the Week no. 1: The Chiefs are the first team in NFL history to start 7-0 in the season after posting the worst record in the NFL.  Also, KC is the first team to allow 17 or fewer points in seven straight games within a single season since the 2006 Ravens.

Stat of the Week no. 2: Josh Freeman posted the lowest completion percentage in a game with 40 or more attempts (37.7%) since Eli Manning in 2007 (34% vs. Redskins).  In addition, Freeman fell to 11-24 (.314) as a starting quarterback in the last three seasons, which is the 2nd worst win percentage in the NFL.

Stat of the Week no. 3: Tom Brady has three games with a sub-50% completion rate this season, which is the most he has had in any season in his career.

Stat of the Week no. 4: Jamaal Charles has seven straight games with 100+ yards from scrimmage plus a touchdown.  Only O.J. Simpson has had a longer streak to start a season (nine straight games in 1975).

Stat of the Week no. 5: The Jaguars have been outscored by 146 points through seven games.  The only team to be outscored by more points through seven games since the 1970 merger was the 2009 St. Louis Rams.  In a related note, the Jags have not scored a touchdown of any kind at home this season.

Bonus Stat of the Week: Buffalo and Denver are the only teams to have scored at least 20 points in every game this season.  Buffalo is one of three teams to have not scored more than 24 points in any game this season.
