On his 29th birthday, Cody Ford pulled off a jaw-dropping moment during Sunday’s 37-14 win over Arizona, leaving fans and teammates alike in awe. The 345-pound offensive lineman’s unexpected catch around the 18-yard line showcased not just his surprising agility, but also his determination as he bulldozed down the sideline, breaking two tackles for a solid 21-yard gain. This remarkable play tied for the third longest reception by an offensive lineman since 2000, making it a highlight of the game.

During the Giants' Week 17 victory against the Raiders, QB Jaxson Dart established a franchise rookie record by scoring his ninth rushing touchdown of the season—an unprecedented achievement for a Giants rookie quarterback. This milestone also placed him alongside the ranks of the third-most rushing touchdowns by any NFL rookie QB in history, with only Billy Kilmer and Cam Newton ahead of him.

Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough achieved a career-best by throwing for 333 yards and two touchdowns against the Titans, completing 22 of 27 passes for an impressive 142.7 passer rating. His performance led the team to a second-half comeback victory, marking his second straight game with over 300 passing yards—a milestone last reached by C.J. Stroud during his rookie season.

Trey McBride has etched his name in NFL history by setting a new record for the most receptions by a tight end in a single season, eclipsing Zach Ertz's previous benchmark by hauling in his 117th (and later 119th) catch of the 2025 season. Additionally, he established a new franchise record for the Cardinals in single-season receptions, surpassing DeAndre Hopkins' tally, while also becoming the first tight end to achieve multiple seasons with over 110 catches and scoring his 11th touchdown. 

On Christmas Night, Bo Nix etched his name into NFL history by becoming the only quarterback to secure 20 or more wins, surpass 7,500 passing yards, and throw for over 50 touchdowns in his first two seasons. He also joined the ranks of Peyton Manning and Justin Herbert as the only QBs with over 3,500 passing yards and at least 25 touchdowns within their first two years. Additionally, he recorded the second-highest number of wins (23) for a quarterback in their first two seasons, only trailing Russell Wilson. Bo Nix now stands alongside Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to achieve at least 20 wins, over 7,000 passing yards, and more than 50 passing touchdowns during their initial two seasons.

The Titans' rookie wide receiver, Chimere Dike, has shattered the NFL record for the most all-purpose yards by a rookie in a single season, eclipsing the longstanding mark held by Hall of Famer Tim Brown since 1988. This remarkable achievement breaks a nearly 40-year-old record, underscoring Dike's impressive beginning to his NFL journey.

For the Bengals, Ja'Marr Chase made history by becoming the first player in NFL history to record 80+ receptions, 1,000+ receiving yards, and 7+ touchdown catches in each of his first five seasons—a remarkable display of consistency that underscores his exceptional career beginning. He accomplished this milestone by securing two touchdown receptions in that game, elevating his season totals to over 80 catches, 1,000 yards, and 7 TDs, and joining Randy Moss as the only players to achieve 7+ receiving TDs in their first five years.
