Which one of these NFL stats is most crazy to you?

The Bears have never had a 4,000+ yard passer in a season (106 seasons)



- All 4 of the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts Superbowls were played in Miami



- Larry Fitzgerald in 17 seasons finished with more tackles (42) than drops (29)



- During the entire 2014 NFL regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs did not throw a single receiving touchdown to a wide receiver



- The Panthers have never recorded back to back winning seasons in their franchise history, yet they once won the NFC South division 3 years in a row (31 seasons)



- The Buccaneers lost 26 consecutive games from 1976-1977. This was their first 26 games as a franchise. 0-14 in year 1, then they went 2-12 in year 2.



- Every NFC team has played in the NFC Championship game since 2010, except the Cowboys, who haven’t since 1995



- Ryan Fitzpatrick led the 2019 Dolphins in Rushing Yards (243) and TD’s (4).. Dude was 37 years old at the time..



- Tom Brady never played a game in his entire career where he was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs going into it.



- For his entire career, Tom Brady has a better chance of getting to the Super Bowl (47.6%) than Steph Curry has of making a 3 pointer (42.2%).



- The Jets joined the NFL in 1970. They beat the eagles for the first time in 2023.



- The Lions went 70 straight games without having a 100 yard rusher. This was during the Stafford era.. it started after Reggie Bush rushed for 117 yards on Thanksgiving in 2013. The drought lasted almost 5 seasons before Kerryon Johnson rushed for 101 yards in 2018..



- Mike Vrabel had 12 career receptions during his career, and every single one was a touchdown..

It may not be craziest, but this is by far the most impressive.

The Cowboys first played at Lambeau Field in 1960. They didn't get their first win there until 2008

These two are insane. The Larry Fitzgerald one in particular

While a 53 year span is astonishing, being in different conferences they didn't play every year so that may be a little misleading... In fact I think they had only played 12 to 15 times in all those years... Still crazy though.

This not true:
Ravens vs 49ers Superbowl XLVII was played in Superdome ( famous for the power outage).

Best random stat that I have was shown on Barstool today, but I also heard it a couple years ago.

The player with the most receiving yards after turning 40 years old is Jerry Rice, the player with the second to most receiving yards after turning 40 is…….Tom Brady.

The Colts franchise was once in Baltimore. The stat doesn’t reference the Ravens

These two Brady stats are insane.

But an even more insane stat and one I can’t think can be beat:
- Tom Brady had a 58% winning percentage against the spread, including a 66% winning percentage against the spread as a dog

That still doesn’t make sense to me. One of the greatest gambling strategies of all time is simply betting on Brady against the spread.

I forget the year, but the Oakland Raiders went 6-0 against their division one season and missed the playoffs.
