In tonight's win over the Chiefs, Broncos QB Bo Nix became the ONLY QB in NFL history with 20+ wins, 7,500+ pass yards and 50+ pass TD in his first two seasons.
With a Broncos win on Sunday against the Jaguars, Sean Payton will join Bill Belichick as the only head coaches in NFL history with at least five 13-win seasons.
Alongside Bo Nix, Payton is one of three coaches since 1950 to lead a team to 10+-wins and a playoff berth in each of a quarterback’s first two years.
Iowa has now won eight (8) games in EVERY full season since 2015.
That’s 10 straight FULL years of 8+ wins for the Hawkeyes.
Iowa is one (1) of just four (4) FBS programs with 8+ wins in the last 10 FULL yrs:
• Alabama
• Georgia
• Iowa
• Ohio St
Remarkable success.
