10/7/2013 Woodson ties NFL record Charles Woodson scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery in the third quarter of Oaklands 27-17 win over San Diego. That was the 13th touchdown in Woodsons NFL career that he has scored on an opponents turnover (11 on interceptions, two on fumble recoveries), tying the league record shared by Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper. Oakland Raiders null Luck Luck defeats Wilson in a first-of-its-kind NFL game The Colts overcame an early 12-0 deficit with a fourth-quarter rally to defeat the Seahawks, 34-28, in a game that was the first of its kind in NFL history. Andrew Luck faced Russell Wilson; never before had a pair of second-year quarterbacks, each with at least 10 previous victories, started head-to-head. And in this case, both QBs have far exceeded that total. Following Sundays game, both Luck and Wilson have a 15-6 record as starting QBs. Sundays game was also the first matchup of second-year quarterbacks who both started a playoff game in the previous season. Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks null Howell Like blocked kicks? Here was the game for you! Delano Howell of the Colts scored on a 61-yard return of a blocked field-goal attempt not long after the Seahawks scored when Jermaine Kearse blocked a Pat McAfee punt out of the end zone. It was the first NFL game since Bills at Houston Oilers in 1989 in which points were scored on both a blocked punt and a blocked field-goal attempt. Indianapolis Colts null Brees Brees streaks end in otherwise impressive performance vs. Bears Drew Brees completed 29 of 35 passes for 288 yards in the Saints 26-18 win at Chicago. That was the 11th consecutive game in which Brees completed at least 25 passes, breaking his own NFL record, set in 2011. But it snapped Brees streak of nine consecutive 300-yard games, which had tied the NFL mark that he set last season. New Orleans Saints Bengals late goal-line stand helps defeat Patriots The Bengals stopped the Patriots after New England had a first-and-goal in the fourth quarter in an eventual 13-6 victory. That snapped Tom Bradys 52-game touchdown-pass streak (two short of Drew Breess NFL record) and it ended the Patriots streak of 66 consecutive regular-season games scoring a touchdown (one short of the team record, set from 1983 to 1988). Over the last 10 seasons, the Patriots scored a touchdown on 52 of 56 previous drives on which they ran a first-and-goal play from the 1-yard line. Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots null Dalton Dalton throws his first red-zone INT Andy Daltons interception on the final play of the first quarter was the first red-zone interception of his NFL career. Prior to that, Dalton threw 145 red-zone passes without an INT, which had been the longest current streak in the NFL. Cincinnati Bengals null Foles Foles shines in relief role for Eagles Nick Foles passed for 197 yards and two touchdowns in relief of injured Michael Vick in the Eagles 36-21 win over the Giants. Over the last 30 years, only two other quarterbacks came off the bench to throw two or more touchdown passes in a victory over the Giants: Steve Bono with the 49ers in 1992 and Jake Plummer with the Cardinals in 1999. Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants null Manning Manning throws his INTs in bunches Eli Manning threw three interceptions in the Giants loss to the Eagles. It was the 10th game over the last four seasons in which Manning was intercepted at least three times, the most in the NFL during that span. The runner-up is Carson Palmer with eight games of three or more INTs. New York Giants Giants defense falls to historic depth With Sundays loss, the Giants became the second team in NFL history to allow more than 30 points in each of their first five games of a season. The only other team to do that was the Chicago Cardinals in 1954. Like the Giants, the 54 Cardinals also lost their first five games. New York Giants null Charles Charles TD is Chiefs late game-winner Jamaal Charles 1-yard touchdown run with 6:23 remaining regained the lead for the Chiefs, who pulled away to a 26-17 win at Tennessee. It was the first time that Charles has scored a game-winning touchdown in the second half. Kansas City Chiefs null Johnson Titans Johnson runs into a slump Kansas City held Chris Johnson to 17 yards on 10 carries in Sundays win over the Titans. Johnson ranks seventh in the NFL in rushing over the last three seasons, but this was Johnsons eighth game during that time in which he averaged less than 2.0 yards while rushing the ball at least 10 times. That is by far the most such games in the NFL during that time. Tennessee Titans null Lacy Three weeks, three different RBs star for Green Bay Eddie Lacy gained 99 yards on 23 carries in the Packers 22-9 victory over the Lions. We dont usually highlight near-misses, but Lacy fell one yard short of earning Green Bay a distinction that illustrates the depth of its corps of running backs. With that additional yard, the Packers would have become only the third team in the last 20 seasons on which three different players posted a 100-yard rushing game over a span of three games. James Starks (132 rushing yards) and Johnathan Franklin (103) reached the 100-yard mark in the Packers previous two games. Green Bay has actually done that twice: Paul Horning, Jim Taylor, and Tom Moore in 1961; and Noah Herron, Ahman Green, and Vernand Morency in 2006. h/t @heyjude1982 Green Bay Packers null Tannehill Dolphins not providing Tannehill enough protection The Ravens sacked Ryan Tannehill six times in a 26-23 win over the Dolphins. Tannehill has been sacked 24 times this season, the highest total by a player through his teams first five games in any of the last four seasons. The total of 24 sacks is the highest that Miami has ever allowed in its first five games of a season. The prior team record was 22 in 2006, with Daunte Culpepper absorbing most of the punishment. Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins
