Each week, the National Football League releases statistical highlights from Sunday’s games played during the 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET windows. The Pro Football Hall of Fame will look at some of these highlights and how they relate to members of the Hall and the history of football. From Week 7:
- Vikings veteran safety Harrison Smith recorded his first interception of the 2026 season, pushing his career totals to 40 interceptions and 22 sacks. That makes him only the third NFL player to reach the 40/20 mark. He joins Hall of Famers RONDÉ BARBER (47 interceptions, 28 sacks) and CHARLES WOODSON (65/20).
- The Cleveland Browns won a thriller against the Tennessee Titans, 27-24. The Browns improved to 5-2 and became the second NFL team since 1970 to record a game-winning score in the final four minutes of regulation or overtime in each of their first five wins, joining the 2016 Detroit Lions.
- Aaron Rodgers continues to climb in the record books. The Steelers’ quarterback passed Hall of Famer PEYTON MANNING for third-most touchdown passes in the regular season. His total of 540 trails only Tom Brady (649) and Hall of Famer DREW BREES (571).
- Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes in the Cincinnati Bengals’ 35-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow now has thrown at least three TD passes in 32 NFL games, tying Hall of Famer PEYTON MANNING for third-most such games in a player’s first seven seasons. Only Hall of Famer DAN MARINO (42 games) and Patrick Mahomes (38) have done it more often.
- With three touchdown passes Sunday, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford became the al-time leader in TD passes for two NFL franchises: the Rams (155) and the Detroit Lions (282). He is the first quarterback to accomplish this feat.

- Broncos quarterback Bo Nix became the fifth NFL player with a 50-yard touchdown pass and a 50-yard touchdown run in the same game after his 52-yard TD pass and 62-yard run against the Cardinals. He joins Justin Fields (Bears), Lamar Jackson (Ravens), Cam Newton (Panthers) and Hall of Famer ACE PARKER (Dodgers) in this exclusive club.
- Lions quarterback Jared Goff has passed for 41,410 yards since entering the NFL in 2016. This ranks him third for a player in his first 11 seasons, trailing only Matt Ryan (46,720 passing yards) and PEYTON MANNING (45,628) have more.
