found some pretty cool ststs about week one.
** Peyton Manning not only tied an NFL record with 7 TD passes in Week 1, but he also became the first QB in NFL history to pass for at least six TDs on three separate occasions.
** There were 3 QBs who passed for 400+ yards in Week 1. Nobody threw for 400 yards in 2012. There were also 12 QBs who threw for 300+ yards in Week 1 compared to 9 in 2012, 3 in 2010 and 6 in 2009. In 2011, 14 QBs threw for 300+ yards.
** Week 1 produced 63 TD passes, the most for any week in NFL history. The previous record was 58, set in Week 17 of 2007 and Week 13 of 2004.
** Only 3 players rushed for 100 yards in Week 1 and one of them was a QB (Terrelle Pryor). That compares to 5 100-yard rushers in Week of 2012, 7 in 2011, 4 in 2010 and 5 in 2009.
** The average rushing yards per team in Week 1 was 93.4, the 5th lowest average for any single week since 1970. The lowest ever was 90.5 in Week 10 of 2001.
** All NFL teams seem to be running more plays with the hurry-up offenses, led by Chip Kelly in Philadelphia. The Eagles ran 77 plays against Washington on Monday Night, which was third in the league behind New England's 89 and Baltimore's 87. The NFL average was 65 plays per team in Week 1. But the Eagles ran 53 plays in the first half, the second most of all-time behind Minnesota's 56 on Dec. 13th, 1998.
** There were 4 safeties in Week 1, the 2nd most in NFL history. Since 1940, there have been 11 weeks that featured 4 safeties, but only one (Week 14 of 2011) that featured 5 safeties.
