11 crazy stats from Week 7

You’re about to notice a lot of Denver Broncos numbers that just aren’t fair. They still have a pretty petrifying offense, and stopping Demaryius Thomas might not happen ever again.

21.4: Demaryius Thomas’ average yards per reception during another week of catching everything, this time in a win over the San Francisco 49ers.

521: The total receiving yards for Thomas over his past three games, 171 of which came in Week 7.

12.2: Peyton Manning’s average yards per pass attempt during that game, his highest single-game average since 2009.

3: Von Miller’s consecutive games with two sacks, highlighted by owning 49ers left tackle Joe Staley.

7: Your now weekly update on the consecutive games DeMarco Murray has rushed for 100 yards or more, setting a new record with his 128 yards against the New York Giants. He still needs to average 132.4 rushing yards per game to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record. That shows how ridiculous Dickerson was in 1984.

7: The combined amount of incompletions thrown by Manning and Aaron Rodgers in Week 7. They’re both pretty good at football.

4: Rodgers’ consecutive games with three touchdown passes and zero interceptions, tying an NFL record set by Tom Brady in 2007.

6: Annnnd more Rodgers. He’s now gone six straight games without throwing an interception.

70: The length of Colt McCoy’s first regular-season pass for the Washington Redskins, a touchdown to Pierre Garcon. That’s longer than the longest pass by 17 teams this season. It was also his first pass attempt since 2011.

506-137: The offensive yardage slobber-knocking the Indianapolis Colts laid on the Cincinnati Bengals.

10: The amount of interceptions Blake Bortles has thrown over only 174 pass attempts, including three more Sunday in a game the Cleveland Browns somehow lost in a very Browns way. Overall Bortles has looked the part of a future franchise quarterback, but there’s a reason why the Jacksonville Jaguars wanted to ease him into the starting role. Their offensive line is a disaster, and he’s often having to rush throws. Not the ideal learning environment for a developing quarterback.

160: Denard Robinson’s career rushing yards prior to Week 7. In that win over Cleveland he went boom for 127 yards on the ground, averaging 5.8 per carry.

About Sean Tomlinson

Hello there! This is starting out poorly because I already used an exclamation point. What would you like to know about me? I once worked at a mushroom farm, which is sort of different I guess (don't eat mushrooms). I'm pretty wild too, and at a New Year's Eve party years ago I double-dipped a chip. Oh, and I write about football here and in a few other places around the Internet, something I did previously as the NFL features writer and editor at The Score. Let's be friends.
