SEVEN FROM SUNDAY – WEEK 7
A look at seven statistical highlights from games played at 1:00 p.m. ET and 4:00 p.m. ET on
Sunday, October 19, the seventh week of the 2014 season.

The DETROIT LIONS overcame a 14-point deficit en route to a 24-23 come-from-behind win
against New Orleans. It marked the 10th time an NFL team has come back from a deficit of
at least 14 points to win in 2014, already tied for the second-most such comebacks
through Week 7 of any season since at least 1970.
Wide receiver COREY FULLER caught the game-winning five-yard touchdown pass from
quarterback MATTHEW STAFFORD with 1:48 remaining in the fourth quarter, marking his first
career touchdown catch.

Dallas running back DE MARCO MURRAY rushed for 128 yards and one touchdown in the
Cowboys’ 31-21 win against the New York Giants and became the first player in NFL history
to rush for at least 100 yards in each of his team’s first seven games to start a season,
surpassing Pro Football Hall of Famer JIM BROWN (six games in 1958).

Green Bay quarterback AARON RODGERS passed for 255 yards with three touchdowns and
no interceptions for a 154.5 passer rating in the Packers’ 38-17 win against Carolina. The
performance marked Rodgers’ fourth consecutive game with at least three touchdown
passes and no interceptions, tied for the longest such streak in a single season in NFL
history (TOM BRADY, 2007).
Rodgers is the only player in NFL history with at least 18 touchdown passes and one or
zero interceptions through his team’s first seven games to begin a season.

Indianapolis quarterback ANDREW LUCK passed for 344 yards and two touchdowns with no
interceptions for a 105.7 passer rating in the Colts’ 27-0 win against Cincinnati. Luck has
passed for at least 300 yards in five consecutive games, tying PEYTON MANNING (2009)
for the longest such streak in franchise history.
Wide receiver REGGIE WAYNE had four catches for 15 yards and became the ninth player
in NFL history with 14,000 career receiving yards.
AHMAD BRADSHAW, who had three catches for 36 yards and one touchdown against the
Bengals, leads all NFL running backs with six TD catches this season. He is the first running
back with six touchdown catches in his team’s first seven games of a season since San
Diego’s GARY ANDERSON in 1986.
The Colts improved to 5-2, earning the 500th total victory in franchise history. Indianapolis’ alltime record is 500-444-7.

Buffalo rookie wide receiver SAMMY WATKINS had career-highs in catches (nine) and
receiving yards (122) with two touchdowns, including the game-winning two-yarder with one
second remaining in the fourth quarter of the Bills’ 17-16 win against Minnesota.
Watkins is the first rookie with at least 100 receiving yards and a game-winning
touchdown catch with one second or less remaining in the fourth quarter of a game
since 2009 (Tennessee wide receiver KENNY BRITT vs. Arizona on November 29, 2009).
Buffalo cornerback LEODIS MC KELVIN recorded interceptions on consecutive defensive
plays, becoming the first Bills player to do so since KIRBY JACKSON on October 29,
1989 against Miami.

Miami quarterback RYAN TANNEHILL completed 25 of 32 passes (78.1 percent) for 277
yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a career-high 123.6 passer rating in the
Dolphins’ 27-14 win at Chicago.
Tannehill, who also rushed for 48 yards, is the third player in NFL history with at least 275
passing yards, a completion percentage of 78.0 or better and 45+ rushing yards in a
single game. He joins KEN ANDERSON (November 3, 1974) and JEFF GARCIA (December
14, 2003) and as the only players to accomplish the feat.

Kansas City running back JAMAAL CHARLES rushed for 95 yards and one touchdown in the
Chiefs’ 23-20 win at San Diego. Charles now has 6,113 career rushing yards, surpassing
PRIEST HOLMES (6,070) for the most in franchise history.
ANDY REID improved his career record in games following a bye week to 14-2 (.875), the
most victories of any NFL head coach in games following a bye week.
