Taylor is the fifth player ever to run for a TD in 10 straight games in the season and the first to do it since LaDainian Tomlinson did it in 12 straight games in 2004. Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor scored on a TD run for the 10th straight game last week against Houston. Only Manning and Marvin Harrison (112) have more. That surpassed Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates (89 TDs) for second-most in NFL history. Two of Brady’s TDs last week went to Rob Gronkowski, giving the pair 90 in the regular season in their careers. This is the sixth time in NFL history a QB has thrown for at least four TD passes six times in a season, with the other five all winning the MVP: Aaron Rodgers (seven in 2020), Patrick Mahomes (seven in 2018), Peyton Manning (nine in 2013), Manning (six in 2004) and Dan Marino (six in 1984). Tom Brady is doing things at age 44 that he has never done before.īrady had his sixth game this season with at least four TD passes, surpassing the five he had in 2007 for the most in a season in his career. With a win next week against the Jets following a bye, the Dolphins will join the 1974 Jets as the only teams to go from 1-7 to 7-7 in a season. The others are the 2017 49ers, who lost their first nine games and won their final five, and the 1994 Giants, who started 3-0, lost seven straight and then won six in a row.
Since then, Miami is 5-0 to become the third team in NFL history to have a five-game winning streak and seven-game losing streak in the same season, according to Sportradar.
The Miami Dolphins have been on a quite a roller coaster this season.Īfter winning the season opener at New England, the Dolphins lost their next seven games. The only other team to win seven straight road games by double digits in the same season was the 1984 Super Bowl champion 49ers, who went undefeated on the road but won the opener at Detroit by just three points. The road success ended in the playoffs when Dallas lost its first game 31-20 at Cleveland when the sites were predetermined by division. The last team to win its first seven road games by double digits was the 1968 Cowboys, who went 7-0 on the road that season. The Cardinals have gotten into this position by being the NFL’s best road team.Īrizona’s 33-22 win at Chicago last week improved the Cardinals to 7-0 on the road, with all the victories coming by at least 10 points. Neither the 49ers nor Steelers made the Super Bowl that season, with San Francisco losing to Dallas in the NFC title game and Pittsburgh to Buffalo in the divisional round.
The last time both top seeds were coming off non-playoff seasons was in 1992, when San Francisco (14-2) took the spot in the NFC and Pittsburgh (11-5) in the AFC. Both the Cardinals and Patriots missed the playoffs last season, with Arizona finishing 8-8 and New England at 7-9.
