6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers rushing yards by a quarterback

This is unlikely to happen this week, considering Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has averaged about 30 rushing yards per game through the first two weeks of the 2026 season. That said, we have seen Mayfield break loose on runs before and pick up a massive gain for no reason. While the Tampa Bay quarterback is unlikely to gain the 63 rushing yards he needs to break the record, currently held by Jameis Winston, this week, it is not impossible for Mayfield to accomplish against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3.

5. Los Angeles Chargers rushing touchdowns by a quarterback record

Another week, another mention that Justin Herbert is in a three-way tie for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers franchise record. Although Herbert is a lot higher up on the list this week compared to weeks prior, and for a good reason. The schedule for the Chargers gets a lot more difficult for the next several weeks, meaning he can still set the record this week, but considering how the team has played against unspectacular football teams so far, it will be harder to achieve with the level of competition going up starting this weekend with the Buffalo Bills.

4. Von Miller moves up on the top-10 sacks list

The veteran pass rusher for the Dallas Cowboys has been in the same predicament for the last couple of weeks, as he remains tied for 10th on the all-time sacks leaderboard in league history. That said, Von Miller needs a half of a sack to move into a tie for ninth place on the list. If Miller can get up to 1.5 sacks on Sunday, he will move all the way up to holding the seventh spot all to himself.

3. Travis Kelce moves up the top-10 receptions list

Kansas City Chiefs star pass catcher Travis Kelce played an excellent game on Sunday Night Football last weekend, putting himself in a fantastic spot to move up the all-time receptions list in Week 3. Kelce needs just three catches to move past Tim Brown for seventh on the all-time leaderboard. If Kelce can replicate his nine-catch outing from Week 2, he will be tied with Cris Carter at sixth, and with 10 receptions against the Miami Dolphins, Kelce would tie Marvin Harrison for fifth on the list, meaning there could be a lot of movement for Kelce in the next couple of weeks.
