Seven from Sunday – Week 7 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10/20/19 http://twitter.com/NFL345 SEVEN FROM SUNDAY – WEEK 7 A look at seven statistical highlights from games played at 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, October 20, the seventh week of the 2019 season. • Green Bay quarterback AARON RODGERS passed for 429 yards with five touchdowns, including the 350th of his career, and no interceptions for a 158.3 rating, the highest attainable mark, and added a rushing touchdown in the Packers’ 42-24 win over Oakland. Appearing in his 172nd career game, Rodgers surpassed DREW BREES (180 games) as the fastest quarterback to reach 350 career touchdown passes in NFL history. Rodgers is the third player with at least 400 passing yards, five touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown in a single game in NFL history, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer NORM VAN BROCKLIN (Week 1, 1951) and MARK RYPIEN (Week 11, 1991). He is also the third player in the Super Bowl era with five passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in a single game, joining Rypien and MARK MALONE (Week 1, 1985). Rodgers now has 22 career games with at least four touchdown passes, surpassing Pro Football Hall of Famer DAN MARINO (21 games) for the fifth-most such games in NFL history. • Minnesota quarterback KIRK COUSINS passed for 337 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 141.1 rating in the Vikings’ 42-30 win at Detroit. Cousins, who passed for 306 yards with a 138.6 passer rating in Week 5 and had 333 passing yards and a 138.4 rating in Week 6, is the first quarterback to record at least 300 passing yards and a passer rating of 135 or higher in three consecutive games in NFL history. Detroit quarterback MATTHEW STAFFORD passed for 364 yards and four touchdowns with one interception in the loss. Stafford, who has 40,277 career passing yards in 147 career games, is the first player in NFL history to reach 40,000 career passing yards in 150 games or fewer. Lions wide receiver MARVIN JONES JR. had four touchdown receptions in Week 7. Jones, who also had four touchdown catches in Week 8 of the 2013 season with Cincinnati, is the fourth player to have at least four touchdown receptions in two career games in NFL history, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer JERRY RICE (two games) as well as STERLING SHARPE (two) and BOB SHAW (two). • Baltimore quarterback LAMAR JACKSON passed for 143 yards and rushed for 116 yards with a touchdown in the Ravens’ 30-16 win at Seattle. Jackson, who has 576 rushing yards in 2019 and had 695 yards as a rookie in 2018, is the second quarterback in NFL history with at least 500 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons, joining CAM NEWTON (2011-12). In his Ravens debut, cornerback MARCUS PETERS registered a 67-yard interception return for a touchdown. It marked the fifth interception-return touchdown of his career, tied for the third-most by a player in his first five seasons in NFL history. Only Pro Football Hall of Famers KEN HOUSTON (nine) and LEM BARNEY (six) had more. Peters, who had a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, is the first player in NFL history to record an interception return for a touchdown for two different teams in a single season. • Minnesota running back DALVIN COOK had 149 scrimmage yards (142 rushing, seven receiving) and two rushing touchdowns in the Vikings’ 42-30 win at Detroit, while Jacksonville running back LEONARD FOURNETTE totaled 145 scrimmage yards (131 rushing, 14 receiving) in the Jaguars’ 27-17 win at Cincinnati. Three players – Cook (945 scrimmage yards), Carolina running back CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY (923) and Fournette (918) – each have at least 900 scrimmage yards through Week 7. It marks the fourth time that at least three players have had at least 900 scrimmage yards through the first seven weeks of a season in NFL history. The other three seasons with at least three players totaling 900 or more scrimmage yards through the first seven weeks: 1983 (four players – Pro Football Hall of Famers ERIC DICKERSON and WALTER PAYTON as well as WILLIAM ANDREWS and JOE CRIBBS), 2002 (four – Pro Football Hall of Famers MARSHALL FAULK and LADAINIAN TOMLINSON as well as PRIEST HOLMES and RICKY WILLIAMS) and 2003 (three – AHMAN GREEN, Holmes and JAMAL LEWIS). • The SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS earned a 9-0 win at Washington in Week 7 and advanced to 6- 0 for the first time since 1990, when they began the season 10-0. The 49ers held the Redskins to 154 net yards of offense in the win. San Francisco is the sixth team since 1990 and the first since the 2005 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (Weeks 13-15) to allow seven or fewer points and 200 or fewer net yards of offense in three consecutive games. • Arizona linebacker CHANDLER JONES had a career-high four sacks along with a forced fumble and fumble recovery in the Cardinals’ 27-21 win at the New York Giants. Jones is the fifth player with four sacks, a forced fumble and fumble recovery in a single game since 2000, joining ADRIAN CLAYBORN (2017), AARON DONALD (2018), JUSTIN HOUSTON (2013) and SIMEON RICE (2003). • Chicago wide receiver CORDARRELLE PATTERSON had a 102-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the Bears’ Week 7 loss. It marked the seventh career kick return touchdown for Patterson, tied for the third-most in NFL history. Only JOSH CRIBBS (eight) and LEON WASHINGTON (eight) had more. # # # .

  • 2017 Joe Gibbs
    JOE GIBBS: Team Owner Nearly a quarter century after winning his third Super Bowl as head coach of the NFL’s Washington Redskins, Joe Gibbs still hasn’t stopped adding to his impressive list of championships. Despite retiring as an NFL coach in 2008 after his second stint with the Redskins, the owner of Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) now has more Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championships than Super Bowl wins as driver Kyle Busch helped Gibbs score his fourth title as an owner in NASCAR’s top series in 2015. As JGR enters its 26th season in 2017, Gibbs has shown no signs of slowing down as his team continues to shine as one of the sport’s premier organizations. Gibbs, who hails from Mocksville, North Carolina, oversees an organization that has produced four NASCAR Cup Series titles – Bobby Labonte in 2000, Tony Stewart in 2002 and 2005, and Kyle Busch in 2015. It also won NASCAR Xfinity Series owner titles in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2013, the Xfinity Series driver titles for Busch in 2009 and Daniel Suarez in 2016, and 267 NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series victories. Gibbs’ four Cup Series championships, five Xfinity Series titles, plus his three Super Bowl victories as coach of the Redskins in 1983, 1988 and 1992 mean he has won an incredible 12 championships in two of the most popular sports in the United States. “The thing that has always amazed me about championship runs in pro sports, at least in the four I’ve been involved with at JGR and the three I had in the NFL with the Redskins, is how difficult they are to win and how different they are, and that one year doesn’t buy you the next,” Gibbs said.
