David Carr had more sacks taken than passes completed in that game to boot. The main culprit are the 5 turnovers, 8 penalties and 6 sacks.

Almost half of those yards were lost to sacks also (23 yards total lost from 4 sacks on Carr). The offense essentially moved 24 net yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Despite having 1781 receiving yards, which ranked second in the NFL, 2nd year wideout Isaac Bruce failed to make the Pro Bowl in 1995. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 On November 2nd, 1986 against the Redskins, Vikings quarterback Tommy Krammer went 20/35, for 490 yards, 4 touchdowns, 1 interception, and took 4 sacks. Despite the effort, the Redskins still lost 44-38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The Seahawks once had 4 pick sixes in a game. It wasn't done by the Legion of Boom though. It was against the Chiefs on November 4th, 1984. Seattle overall had 6 interceptions, with 4 of them returned for touchdowns. The Chiefs ended up playing 3 quarterbacks that game. Each had at least 1 interception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daineraider Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thru 2002 the Raiders were the NFLs all time leader in NFL winning percentage(regular season). Since then they have dropped all the way down to #12. Even without making the playoffs from 2002-2015 the Raiders are still 6th in all time playoff wins with 25. Only the Cowboys, Steelers, 49ers, Packers and Patriots have more playoff wins. The Cardinals have the longest post season drought in history. From 1947-1998 they failed to make the post season. Andrew Luck has more playoff passing yards than Bart Starr. In 2000 the Chargers had a total of 1062 rushing yards, 19 individual RBs had more rushing yards than the Chargers that year.

areksoo Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Steelers + Eagles = Steagles? It happened in 1943. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steagles The Boston Patriots were nearly renamed to the Bay Side Patriots, but the league rejected it. I'm sure a lot of people on this board would love it if they were called the BS Patriots. In college Terry Bradshaw was Phil Robertson's back up. Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty. No NFL team officially uses the color yellow in their team colors... it's just named as "gold". Steelers, Packers, Chargers, Vikings, Chiefs, and sometimes the Rams (using their alternate jerseys 5 times this coming year and will likely be their new jerseys going forward). Patriots are the only team to score 3 TDs in less than 1 minute... and they did it twice (vs Jets 2012 and vs Bears 2014). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Pence Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Some other games that have had weird statistics: In 1967, the Packers turned the ball over eight times to the Bears once, and still managed to escape with a 13-10 win. A 1968 game between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills saw the Jets outgain Buffalo 427-197. But Joe Namath threw three pick sixes and the Bills upset the Jets 37-35. It would be the Bills' only win of the year, and it came against the eventual Super Bowl champions. In 2001, the Chiefs outgained the Raiders 447 yards to 264 AND had a 5 to 1 turnover differential. Yet somehow, they lost 28-26. A 1986 game between Kansas City and San Diego featured three interception returns for touchdowns (two by Lloyd Burruss) and a fumble return for a touchdown . . . all in the second quarter. In 1983 Seattle managed just two passing yards against the LA Raiders (153 total), yet put up 38 points. In 2002, Seattle scored four touchdowns against Minnesota in the span of 2:09. In a 1970 game against the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay quarterback Don Horn went one-for-eight. His lone completion went for an 89-yard game winning bomb in the final minutes. In an early 1980 contest, Dan Fouts' San Diego Chargers turned the ball over on SIX consecutive possessions against the Oakland Raiders. Despite this catastrophe, the Chargers managed to hang on for an overtime win. Turnovers on six consecutive drives! Surely something like that couldn't happen again to the same team! Wrong. Later in the year the Chargers played the Cowboys in a nationally televised Sunday Night game and opened the second half with . . . turnovers on six consecutive drives, allowing Dallas to run away with what had been a tight ball game. It would be six years before a team had turnovers on six consecutive drives again. That team was? Fouts' Chargers, in a 1986 loss to the New York Giants.
