Shedeur Sanders, Josh Allen, Christian McCaffrey Have NFL Records in Play in Week 13

NFL Week 13 already saw records broken in the Thanksgiving games, and more history could be made on Sunday and Monday.

The NFL Week 13 slate is one that has already been historic and record-breaking, and that’s just after four of the 16 games have been played. The games on Thanksgiving and Black Friday had memorable moments in their own rights, setting the stage for the bulk of the contests set to take place on Sunday, with Giants vs. Patriots then on Monday.

Among them on Thursday were Derrick Henry passing Jim Brown on the all-time rushing yards list, DeAndre Hopkins becoming the 18th member of the 1,000-yard receptions club, and Micah Parsons becoming the first player, ever, with 12-plus sacks in each of his first five seasons. Additionally, Patrick Mahomes’s four-TD game versus Dallas saw him surpass Dan Marino for the most three-TD games (47) by a player 30 or younger in NFL history. With all of that already taking place, what NFL records can fans look forward to over the rest of Week 13?

Christian McCaffrey, 49ers

Last week, McCaffrey had 89 rushing and 53 receiving yards, marking the eighth time this year he’s had 50-plus on both the ground and through the air. Notching another on Sunday, versus Cleveland, would tie Marshall Faulk’s (1999) single-season record of nine such games. Among the seasons that McCaffrey is already tied with in second place, is his own season, as he also had eight such games in 2019 with the Panthers.

Matthew Stafford, Rams

The MVP favorite at 37 years old, Stafford holds a share of an all-time record, but he could outright own it in Los Angeles’ game versus Carolina. He’s thrown 27 straight touchdowns since his last interception, which is tied with Tom Brady (2010-11) for the longest streak in NFL history. The Panthers won’t make it easy on Stafford, as not only did they pick off three passes last week, but Carolina also hasn’t allowed a passing touchdown in three of its last six games.

Josh Allen, Bills

Like Stafford, Allen also holds a share of a record that he can outright own on Sunday versus Pittsburgh. The reigning MVP has 75 career rushing touchdowns, which is tied with Cam Newton for the most by a quarterback in league history. Allen already has 10 touchdowns on the ground this season, to go along with 18 through the air. So, another record is at stake if he passes for two scores as that would make him the first player in NFL history with three seasons of at least 20 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns.

Trey McBride, Cardinals

McBride joined the 300-receptions club last week, as he caught nine passes for 79 yards. That also gave him 13 straight games with at least five catches, and having another five-plus receptions on Sunday versus Tampa would have him passing Tony Gonzalez for the second-longest streak by a tight end. Only Travis Kelce (15 games) would have a longer streak, but wait, there’s more! With his next catch, McBride would have 302 for his career, which would break a tie with Jimmy Graham for the most by any tight end through his first four NFL seasons… with another five games still yet to go.

Myles Garrett, Browns

This one may not be as big a longshot as it appears, but Garrett is a 5.0-sack game away from setting the single-season sacks mark. Garrett has 18 entering Sunday, leaving him 4.5 behind the record of 22.5 jointly held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt. Garrett had a 5.0-sack game in Week 8 – and a 4.0-sack game in Week 11 – so the record is certainly a possibility in Week 13.

Shedeur Sanders, Browns

While we’re on the Browns, it’s also worth mentioning the history that Shedeur Sanders could make, which says more about the horrendous history of Cleveland quarterbacks than it does about Deion Sanders’ son. After winning his first start last week, getting another victory on Sunday would make Shedeur Sanders the first-ever Browns rookie QB to win his first two starts.

New York Jets

A loss by New York to Atlanta, combined with wins by a couple of other teams, would officially eliminate the Jets from postseason contention. That would mark the 15^th consecutive year that the Jets miss out on the playoffs, last making it in the 2010 NFL season. Not only is this current 14-year streak the longest active one, but it moving to a 15-game drought would put New York in rarified air.
