9. Atlanta Falcons all-time receiving touchdowns by a running back record
It finally happened. The Atlanta Falcons finally played a game where the team needed to pass the ball last Sunday, and running back Bijan Robinson did not haul in a touchdown reception. Unfortunate, but never a guarantee, especially at the running back position.
The good news is that Robinson can break the record this weekend if the game plan calls for him to be involved in the passing game in Week 6. The unknown here is the health of quarterback Michael Penix Jr., which sounds like an all-too-familiar phrase at this point, unfortunately. Meaning Tua Tagovailoa could be the starting quarterback for the Falcons on Sunday, and if he is able to connect with Robinson in the end zone twice, the running back will set a team record at 12 touchdown grabs, breaking the running back mark, currently held by both Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman, of 11 for the organization.
8. Aaron Rodgers moves up the top-10 passing touchdowns list
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been on a tear in recent weeks. In each of his last three games, the veteran quarterback has tossed a trio of touchdown passes. If Rodgers does that one more time in Tampa Bay on Sunday, the quarterback will move over Peyton Manning for third place on the all-time passing touchdowns leaderboard.
7. Travis Kelce moves up the top-10 receptions list
There was no mention of Kansas City Chiefs legendary tight end Travis Kelce last week as the team had its bye week in Week 5, but he is back and is set to resume his quest up the top-10 receptions list. With six catches this weekend, Kelce would pass Cris Carter, 1,101 receptions, for sixth place on the all-time list. However, with seven grabs, he will pass Marvin Harrison for fifth in that category, meaning there could be a lot of movement for Kelce this weekend if the game script goes toward his involvement.
6. Keenan Allen moves up the top-10 receptions list
Coming in at just a pair of receptions fewer than Kelce is Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen, who is also on a quest to move up the all-time list. However, Allen is a bit behind Kelce in the statistic and is looking to move into 10th place. By hauling in four passes on Sunday, Allen will pass Anquan Boldin, 1,076 receptions, for that distinction.
