The history books are in tatters early on in the 2026 NFL season, as there have been TEN different historic moments to occur in the first four weeks of the year. After a pair of changes in the record books happened last week, there is still plenty on the line this week and moving forward. What records are in danger of being rewritten this week?
There are at least seven marks that could be history following Week 5. There are a few of them that you may remember on here; however, there are several new records that are in play this week, thanks to new mid-season additions (as well as players progressing through the annals of history so far this year). Before we get into that, though, there needs to be a toast to all of the records that were broken last week.
Congratulations to a pair of longtime legends at the tight end positions; first, Travis Kelce, who passed Tim Brown for the seventh spot on the all-time receptions list in the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, for maximum irony. Additionally, George Kittle claimed the San Francisco 49ers triple crown for the tight end position by recording his 56th career receiving touchdown, passing Vernon Davis for the franchise record. Let us dive into all of the historic moments and records that are on the line in Week 5.
The historic moments and records that could be broken in Week 5
7. Atlanta Falcons receiving touchdowns by a running back record
At the rate the Atlanta Falcons are playing offense these days, it is almost unnecessary to have a passing attack with all of the damage Bijan Robinson is doing to opposing defenses. Alas, the receiving, not rushing, touchdowns by a running back record is the one in play for Robinson right now. If Atlanta needs to pass the ball, he needs a pair of touchdowns through the air to reach 12 on his career and break the record of 11 held by Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman for the position.
