A pair of 7-2 division leaders, the Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos, get a little rest this week. So do the 3-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 2-7 Philadelphia Eagles.

When it comes to numbers, there is one NFL team that has a chance this week to set a new but dubious NFL record.

Last week, there were a number of teams utilizing a new starting quarterback. And that trend continues this Sunday and Monday.

Take a look at 5 key statistics that highlight the NFL Week 10 games

47

That’s the number of different quarterbacks that have started at least one game in 2026. In four of the past five seasons, there have been 60-plus starting signal-callers—including an incredible 69 quarterbacks in 2022.

And keep an eye on this week’s games, when that number will reach 50-plus with players such as Fernando Mendoza (Raiders), Kyle McCord (Dolphins), Jacoby Brissett (Ravens), Carson Beck (Cardinals) and perhaps Jalen Milroe (Seahawks) on deck. And Kirk Cousins will start for a second team on Sunday.

Halfway through 2026 and there have been a total of 136 games played this season. Would it surprise some out there that teams playing at home (and that includes the designated “host” team in the international games) are a combined one game under .500?

The record stands at 67-68-1 and incredibly, the only winning weeks this season came in Week 1 (10-6), Week 3 (11-5), and Week 8 (10-4). The last time road teams won more games than the home clubs was the COVID-19 season of 2020 (127-128-1).

Four teams that finished in last place in 2025 have either won as many or more games than they did a season ago. In the AFC, the Cleveland Browns own a 5-4 record this season after finishing 5-12. The Las Vegas Raiders own a 4-5 record one year after a 3-14 showing.

As for the other conference, the NFC East-leading New York Giants have a 5-2-1 mark a year after residing in the division basement with a 4-13 resume. And like the Raiders, the Arizona Cardinals finished 3-14 in 2025 and currently own a 3-6 record.

Following their surprising 3-0 start, Klint Kubiak’s club has dropped five of their last six games. And in each of those half-dozen contests, the Las Vegas Raiders allowed at least 30 points in each of those contests. That ties a dubious single-season NFL record set previously by three other teams—the latest being the 2020 Jacksonville Jaguars.

No team has ever surrendered 30-plus points in seven straight contests in the same season, something the team hopes to avoid this Sunday when they host the Seattle Seahawks.

11

While the focus on Jim Harbaugh’s club is on the fact that the Los Angeles Chargers are currently the only winless team in the league this season, the Bolts’ issue go back a little further than that. The team has not won a game since besting the Dallas Cowboys at Arlington in Week 16 of 2025.

Including a playoff loss at New England, the club has dropped 11 straight games. Dating back to the start of last season, Harbaugh’s team is 8-15 in their last 23 outings—after starting ’25 with wins over the Chiefs, Raiders, and Broncos.
