Sky Sports Cricket statistician - and big Buffalo Bills fan - Benedict Bermange dives into the 2024 NFL season to pick out the best stats from each week...
Andy Reid celebrated with his third Christmas Day victory, making him the first head coach to win as many as three games on December 25.
Travis Kelce became the third tight end with 1,000 receptions after Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten, and caught his 77th receiving touchdown, setting a new Kansas City Chiefs record:
The Houston Texans became the first team since 2013 to score exactly two points in a game as opposing quarterback Lamar Jackson surpassed Michael Vick's record to become the most prolific rushing quarterback in NFL history:
The Cincinnati Bengals kept their playoff hopes alive with an overtime win over the Denver Broncos as Joe Burrow joined Tom Brady, Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks to have at least four touchdown passes in eight successive games.
Josh Allen's 65th career rushing touchdown equalled Thurman Thomas' Bills franchise record, making Allen just one of two quarterbacks to hold the franchise lead in that category, along with Cam Newton's 63 rushing touchdowns for the Carolina Panthers.
The victory over the New York Jets was the sixth of the season in which the Bills allowed no sacks and had no turnovers, the most by any team in NFL history.
The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the New Orleans Saints as Brock Bowers passed Puka Nacua's NFL rookie record of 105 receptions, as well as passing Mike Ditka's rookie tight end receiving yards record of 1,076 yards set in 1961. He also set a Raiders franchise record for receptions, overtaking Darren Waller's record of 107, set in 2020.
The New York Giants broke their 10-game losing streak with a win over the Saints, as Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Malik Nabers became just the third rookie duo in NFL history to have 1,000-plus scrimmage yards in the same season:
The Philadelphia Eagles clinched the NFC East with victory over the Dallas Cowboys to give the division a 20th successive season without a repeat winner. Saquon Barkley became the ninth player in NFL history to have at least 2,000 yards rushing, and the first to do so in his first season with a new team.
The Washington Commanders clinched a playoff spot with their first overtime win since 2014, having failed to win any of their previous six games to have gone into an extra period. The last time the team won at least 11 games in a season was in 1991, when they went on to win Super Bowl XXVI.
Jayden Daniels became the most prolific rushing rookie quarterback in NFL history, and just the fourth player in NFL history to have at least three touchdown passes and at least 125 rushing yards in the same game.
On Monday night the Detroit Lions extended their franchise record with a 14th win and set a record with a fifth game of the season scoring at least 40 points without committing a turnover.
