NFL Notes And Trends Week 5
Peyton Manning passed for 309 yards and three touchdowns as the Colts improved to 5-0 with a 31-9 win.
-Peyton Manning is the 3rd QB since 1960 to throw for 300 yards or more in his team’s first five games in a season. The other two are Kurt Warner in 2000 and Steve Young in 1998. Both Warner and Young threw for 300+yards in their first six games that season. Peyton Manning has a bye next week, but the following week is the Rams, then the 49ers. Manning could set the record.
-The Redskins are 2-3 with wins over (0-5) St. Louis and (0-5) Tampa Bay and losses to (1-4) Detroit and (1-3) Carolina and (5-0) Giants. Since the Redskins played the Giants Week 1, the Redskins opponent each week has been winless. Next week the Redskins host the (0-5) Chiefs.
-Cowboys WR Miles Austin set the Cowboys record for most receiving yards (250) in a game against KC Sunday. Who is number two on that list? Recent HOF inductee Bob Hayes.
-Falcons WR Roddy White had 210 receiving yards and 2 TD. He set the Falcons record for most receiving yards in a game. As a corollary, White and Austin become the first two receivers since Drew Hill and Stephone Page to have at least 200 receiving yards and 2 TD’s in a game. Hill and Page did that on December 22nd 1985.
-Bengals RB Cedric Benson rushed for 120 yards on 27 carries and was the first RB since Larry Johnson (2004) to rush for over 100 yards against the Ravens defense. That snaps Baltimore’s 39 game streak without a 100 yard rusher, good for 8th best since 1960. The longest streak started with 1992 Eagles who held opponents RB’s to under 100 yards for 53 straight games. Who broke that record? A guy you may have heard of, Emmitt Smith. Also, Emmitt Smith ran for more than 100 yards (12 times) vs. the Eagles than anyone, since 1960.

The Defending Champs Face Off Against The Top Team In The AFC Last Season
Football fans rejoice! The time has come, the wait is over, and the season is ready to begin. In just a few hours, the defending champion Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Tennessee Titans in the first regular season game of 2009. There are a number of story lines surrounding this match up. Tennessee, as you may remember, defeated the Steelers in a tough regular season match up which resulted in LenDale White stomping on the Terrible Towels. At years end, however, the Steelers hoisted the Super Bowl trophy. In a game featuring two of the better defenses in the league, what can we expect to see in our first regular season action of the year?

Can Kerry Collins Lead the Titans to Another Division Title?
The Tennessee Titans were the toast of the AFC South, and the NFL, last season. Led by a great running game, a strong defense, and a Kerry Collins, the Titans went 13-3 and earned the number 1 seed in the playoffs. Despite the record, the Titans lost in the Divisional Round to the Ravens. The Colts, however, finished right behind the Titans with a 12-4 record. Peyton Manning struggled a bit initially, but once he fully recovered from his knee injury, the Colts were as good as ever. In third, were the upstart Houston Texans. Led by a strong offensive showing, the Texans were able to finish 8-8. Finally, the Jaguars suffered through an injury riddled season and fell to 5-11. With two AFC juggernauts, the up-and-coming Texans, and the Jaguars returning to health, the AFC South just might be the best division in the NFL this season.
Favre Trivia For YOU!
By: Mostly DRB, A few by Monty
-There are only two active players remaining from the 1991 NFL Draft. One is Brett Favre. The other? Carolina Panthers kicker John Kasay.
-Favre has a tremendous chance to become only the 3rd player ever to lead the league in interceptions with 3 different teams. If he’s able to pull off the feat, he would join Vinny Testaverde and Norm Snead as the only players to do so.
-Favre has thrown at least 500 passes in 15 of his 18 NFL seasons. He could be the 5th Viking to do so, if he throws for at least 500 passes this season. The other 4 are Daunte Culpepper, Warren Moon, Fran Tarkenton and Tommy Kramer.
-Favre has thrown at least 600 passes in a season twice in his career, if he feels that ambitious this season, he would join Warren Moon as the only other Viking to do so.
