Herbert leads all rookies with 17 touchdown passes and ranks second among rookies with 2,146 passing yards this season.

Tagovailoa has passed for 341 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions for a 103.8 passer rating in his first two career starts. With a win, he will become the first rookie quarterback since LAMAR JACKSON in 2018 to win his first three career starts. Below is a look at the most combined passing yards in a matchup featuring two rookie starting quarterbacks each selected in the top 10 of the NFL Draft in the common-draft era: DATE PLAYER (SELECTION) PASS PLAYER (SELECTION) PASS COMBINED YARDS YARDS PASS YARDS Nov. 4, 2012 Andrew Luck (No. 1) 433 Ryan Tannehill (No. 8) 290 723 Sept. 13, 2015 Jameis Winston (No. 1) 210 Marcus Mariota (No. 2) 209 419 Nov. 7, 1971 Dan Pastorini (No. 3) 260 Jim Plunkett (No. 1) 157 417 Oct. 10, 1999 Akili Smith (No. 3) 221 Tim Couch (No. 1) 164 385 Dec. 9, 2018 Josh Allen (No. 7) 206 Sam Darnold (No. 3) 170 376 Miami has returned an opponent fumble for a touchdown in each of its last two games – a 36-yard return by defensive end SHAQ LAWSON in Week 9 and a 78-yard return by linebacker ANDREW VAN GINKEL in Week 8.

Last week, he became the fourth quarterback in the Super Bowl era with at least three touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown in consecutive games. With a rushing touchdown on Sunday against Buffalo (4:05 PM ET, CBS), Murray will become the fourth quarterback with a rushing touchdown in at least five consecutive games in NFL history.

With 148 passing yards on Sunday, he will become the second quarterback with at least 6,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in his first 25 career games in NFL history, joining CAM NEWTON (6,194 passing yards, 1,060 rushing yards). -- NFL -- ALL IN ON ALLEN: Last week, Buffalo quarterback JOSH ALLEN passed for 415 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions for a 138.5 passer rating and added a rushing touchdown. It marked his fourth career game with at least three touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown, tied with JACK KEMP for the most such games by a player in his first three seasons in NFL history. Allen has 19 touchdown passes and five rushing touchdowns this season. In 2019, Allen had 20 touchdown passes, while leading all quarterbacks with nine rushing touchdowns. With a touchdown pass on Sunday against Arizona (4:05 PM ET, CBS), Allen will become the third player with at least 20 touchdown passes and five rushing touchdowns in consecutive seasons in league history, joining DAK PRESCOTT (three consecutive seasons) and DESHAUN WATSON (two). The players with at least 20 passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns in consecutive seasons in NFL history: PLAYER TEAM SEASONS Dak Prescott Dallas 3 (2016-18) Deshaun Watson Houston 2 (2018-19) Josh Allen Buffalo 2019-20* *Has 19 passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns in 2020 -- NFL -- BALL SECURITY BALLERS: Kansas City quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES ranks second in the NFL with 25 touchdown passes, while Green Bay quarterback AARON RODGERS ranks third with 24. Mahomes, with one interception this season, and Rodgers, with two interceptions this season, are the only two quarterbacks in the league with at least 20 touchdown passes and fewer than five interceptions in 2020. Last week, Mahomes became the sixth player to throw his 25th touchdown pass before throwing his third interception of a season in NFL history. Rodgers, who accomplished the feat in 2018, has a chance to do it again on Sunday and join TOM BRADY (2007 and 2016) as the only players in league history to do so in two seasons. In Week 9, Rodgers passed for 305 yards and four touchdowns with zero interceptions for a 147.2 passer rating. It marked his third consecutive game with at least three touchdown passes and zero interceptions. If Rodgers records at least three touchdown passes and zero interceptions on Sunday against Jacksonville (1:00 PM ET, FOX), it will mark the fifth time a player has done so in at least four consecutive games within a single season in NFL history. Having also accomplished the feat in 2014, Rodgers would become the first player to do so twice.

With two touchdown passes against Indianapolis on Thursday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, FOX/NFLN/Amazon), Tannehill will have recorded at least two touchdown passes in 12 consecutive home games, tying Pro Football Hall of Famer KURT WARNER (1999-2000) for the fifth-longest streak in NFL history.

In seven games this season, Cook leads the NFL with 858 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns entering Week 10.

(December 11, 2003) – In its 19th year of honoring the nation’s elite high school athletes, Gatorade® Thirst Quencher, in partnership with Scholastic Coach & Athletic Director magazine, today announced Jeff Byers of Loveland High School in Loveland, Colo., as the 2003 Gatorade National High School Football Player of the Year. The award, which recognizes athletic achievement as well as the academic performance and overall character of its recipient, distinguishes Jeff as the nation’s best high school football player. The Gatorade National Advisory Board, a group of sportswriters and sport-specific experts from around the country, selected Jeff from the more than one million high school football players nationwide. Rated by many scouting services as the country’s top center, Jeff paved the way for Loveland’s running attack and did not allow a sack in three years as a starter. Defensively, he recorded 203 tackles in his senior season, 97 of them solo and 55 of them for a loss. In addition, he racked up 10 sacks and forced 14 fumbles, one of which he returned 75 yards for a touchdown in Loveland’s 50-0 state semifinal victory. Jeff capped off his high school career by leading Loveland High School to the Colorado 4A state championship, the school’s sixth overall and its second during his four years on the varsity. “Jeff is the rare individual who can absolutely dominate the game as a lineman.

    The Professional Football Researchers Association The AFL’s First Super Team Pro Football Insiders Debate Whether the AFL Champion San Diego Chargers Could Have Beaten the Bears in a 1963 Super Bowl By Ed Gruver It's an impossible question, but one that continues to intrigue until January 12, 1969, when Joe Namath quarterbacked the members of the 1963 AFL champion San Diego Chargers. upstart New York Jets to a stunning 16-7 victory over the heavily- favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, that the AFL earned its If the Super Bowl had started with the 1963 season instead of first championship game win over the NFL.

  • Rote & Blanda: Tale of 2
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 3 (1994) ROTE & BLANDA: TALE OF 2 QBS Birth of the AFL in 1960 changed the course of two careers By Bob Gill Any reasonably attentive sports fan is aware that chance can play a significant role in a player's career. An injury can give a backup his big break, while bringing a veteran's career to a premature end. A star's ill-timed holdout can be another player's ticket to fame and fortune. And so on - it happens every season. Usually, breaks like these benefit rookies or younger players who haven't had a chance at a regular job. But one of the most interesting "right-place-at-the-right-time" stories involves a pair of ten-year veterans whose places in football history were determined after their NFL careers ended. It happened in the 1960s, and the players involved were a couple of pretty fair quarterbacks: George Blanda and Tobin Rote. But let's start at the beginning ... Blanda broke in with the Bears in 1949, but the 12th-round draft choice saw little action behind Johnny Lujack and aging Sid Luckman. He played even less at QB for the next two years, throwing only one pass and spending most of his time as a linebacker and kicker. Meanwhile, Rote had been taken by the Packers in the second round of the 1950 draft and suffered through a tough rookie season, throwing a league-high 24 interceptions. Facing a challenge from a talented passer named Bobby Thomason in 1951, he improved his passing stats and really shone as a runner, leading the team with 523 yards and leading the league with an average of 6.9 yards per carry.
