Kurt Warner lead his team on a scoring drive for the lead, or to tie the game, in all 3 of his SB appearances in the final few minutes. Yet he's a yard away from being 0-3 in SBs. 

 

In the final 3 minutes of the Super Bowl:

7/8, 225 yards, 3 TDs

(granted 2/2 for 33 yards was on a fairly hopeless drive in the Steelers SB, only 30 seconds and they needed a TD)

Why do people continue to say this? It was 23-16. Even if he makes it, they still need kick an extra point and score first in OT.

Cam Newton's number 1, and 2 career high passing yardage games were the first two games of his career. 

2011 Week 1 at Arizona: 422 passing yards

2011 Week 2 at Green Bay: 432 passing yards.

These are also the only 400+ yard games Newton has.

Pretty well known, but hey why not: Vikings' defensive lineman Jim Marshall, one of the four famous Purple People Eaters (all four defensive lineman made the Pro Bowl in the same season...twice!), once picked up a fumble and ran the ball 66 yards in the wrong direction to give their opponent a 2-pt safety.

- Ben Roethlisbger has more wins in the city of Cleveland than any browns QB since they returned in 99, his career started in 2004

the browns hope to change that this week :D I can't believe this, but if true, it's about time they have a good QB that helps their fans watch some wins at home.  I don't even know you could find or think of such a stat

And then he was the one responsible for helping the Vikings win that game.

In week 17 of the 2001 season, Carolina Panthers RB Richard Huntley ran for 168 yards against the New England Patriots. It was nearly double his previous career high (85 yards). It was the most rushing or receiving yards allowed to an individual by the Patriots that season.  The Panthers lost the game by a score of 38-6. Richard Huntley would only have 4 rushing yards for the rest of his career.
