Week 14 Stats of the Week

Stat of the Week no. 1: The Patriots are the first team since 2000 to win three games in a row by overcoming at least a 10+ point deficit in each game.

Stat of the Week no. 2: Ben Roethlisberger threw his 213th TD pass, which surpassed Terry Bradshaw for the most in Steelers history.

Stat of the Week no. 3: Drew Brees became the 5th player in NFL history to pass for more than 50,000 yards (Brett Farve, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino and John Elway).

Stat of the Week no. 4: The Chiefs and Lions had kickoff and punt returns for touchdown, which marked the first time since at least 1940 that two teams accomplished the feat on the same day.

Stat of the Week no. 5: The Cowboys allowed at 490 yards for the fifth time in 2013.  No other team has two such games.


Bonus Stat of the Week: Jeremy Ross is the first Lion to return a kickoff and punt for touchdown since Eddie Payton, brother of Walter, turned the trick in 1977 against the Minnesota Vikings.
