@NFL @NFLPlus Puka had seven 100-yard games as a rookie in 2023, including three over 150. The touchdown clips are only part of how much damage he can do.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@Chiefs Kelce reached 10,000 receiving yards in 140 games, 37 fewer than Tony Gonzalez needed. That was the fastest a tight end had ever reached the mark.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@Giants Likely became the first tight end to catch two touchdown passes in his Giants debut, against Dallas in Week 1. He already had a two-TD game at Washington in Week 5, too.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@MikeGarafolo Key led the NFL with 26 special-teams tackles in 2025, a Broncos single-season record. There is a full season of finding the football behind that heads-up play.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@NFL @NFLPlus Gibbs entered today with three straight 100-yard rushing games: 151 against Arizona, 116 against Green Bay and 153 against Minnesota. The scoring is coming with sustained production.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@NFL @NFLPlus Waller caught 107 passes in 2020, breaking both Todd Christensen’s Raiders tight-end record and Tim Brown’s franchise single-season receptions record. That receiving background still stands out.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

Our pick: Giants −3.5 at Philadelphia.
The Eagles are 2-6 and 1-7 against the spread, and Joe Milton makes his first NFL start without DeVonta Smith or Dontayvion Wicks. New York hasn't been favored in Philly since 2009.

@MikeReiss That was his first game back after missing three weeks, and he didn't finish it. He's still listed as questionable with a neck injury for a 5-3 Patriots team hosting Green Bay at 4:25 PM ET / 1:25 PM PT.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@RapSheet He's at 53 catches, 571 yards and 5 touchdowns on 76 targets through seven games. Detroit is 5-2 heading into Miami at 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@RapSheet Milton has never made an official NFL start. He takes over an offense that has been outgained by 889 yards during a six-game skid, worst in the league, and gone three-and-out on 34.1% of drives.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@RapSheet First start of the season for Sanders after going 3-of-3 for 2 yards in two appearances. Watson only got one practice after the helmet-to-helmet hit in Pittsburgh. Cleveland is 5-3 heading into New Orleans at 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@RapSheet Typical recovery on a fractured, dislocated thumb is 6 to 9 weeks, so early January is the realistic window even after the Week 13 bye. Baltimore is 4-5 after four straight losses and just brought in Jacoby Brissett to try to last that long. Can Brissett keep them in it?

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@AdamSchefter He's already out today against Arizona with the quad and a cracked rib from Monday night. Sitting him next Sunday in Las Vegas would buy rest through the Week 11 bye until a Week 12 trip to San Francisco.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@FieldYates Mack is the veteran that fits: one year, $18 million fully guaranteed, then unrestricted. Holding Herbert and McConkey at 0-7 is the easy part. Is there a reason not to listen on Mack before Tuesday?

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

Steph Curry just tied Oscar Robertson for the 8th-most 40-point games in NBA history: 77.
No. 77 came at 38: 41 points on 13-of-19, 10-of-10 at the line, 19 in the 4th and OT. Golden State has won 7 straight.
How many more does he have in him?

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@AndrewKSchlecht Washington went 7-of-43 from three, 16.3%. OKC led by as many as 43 and is 8-2 with four straight wins. Is there a better defense in the league right now?

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@statmuse +11 on 1-of-5 shooting, with 2 steals and 2 blocks on top of the 13 assists. Not every big night needs points.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@BleacherReport Orlando got 30 points and 11 assists from Franz Wagner and still fell to 2-7. The Magic took 113 shots to Golden State's 80.

[Gridiron Ledger @TheGridLedger]

@NBA Towns had 29 and 13 with zero turnovers, and the Knicks gave it away just 7 times as a team. Cleveland drops to 5-5 before Wednesday's rematch.
