NFC FROM A TO Z
49ers: They have an NFL-worst minus-11 turnover margin and three takeaways in six games. The only teams with fewer since 1940 are Steelers with two in 2011 and 2013.
Bears: Second-year running back Tarik Cohen has compiled 100-plus yards from scrimmage in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.
Buccaneers: Their 1,842 total yards are the third-most through five games in league history. Only the 2000 Rams (1,973) and 2013 Broncos (1,869) had more.
Cardinals: Seven games into the season, Larry Fitzgerald finally got his first touchdown reception of 2018, a 4-yard pass from Josh Rosen on Thursday night.
QB Dak Prescott hasn’t lost in four starts against the Redskins. In those meetings, he had five TDs — three passing, two rushing — with no interceptions.
Cowboys: Eagles: Carson Wentz is three passes from a personal record of
136 straight without an interception. He hasn’t been picked off since Sept. 23. Falcons: Matt Ryan has 1,432 passing yards and a 128.2 passer rating over the last four weeks, both league highs. He has 12 TDs with no picks during that stretch.
Giants: Eli Manning needs five TD passes to become the seventh player with 350. It’s unlikely to happen this week — he has thrown only five-plus in a game twice.
Lions: Four of Matt Stafford’s five picks came in Week 1. In the four games since, he has thrown at least two touchdown passes and had a 100-plus passer rating.
Packers: With 47 catches in six games, WR Davante Adams is on pace for 125, which would break Shannon Sharpe’s team record of 112 set in 1993.
Panthers: Cam Newton has a league-high 115.7 passer rating in the red zone. He has eight touchdowns — five passing, three rushing — from inside the 20.
Rams: They have started with six straight wins for first time since doing so in each of the 1999, 2000 and 2001 seasons. They have not been 7-0 since 1985.
Redskins: Josh Norman’s interception of a Cam Newton pass last week was the former Pro Bowler’s first pick since Dec. 24, 2016, a 19-game stretch.
Saints: With a win Sunday against the Ravens, Drew Brees would join Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only QBs with a victory against every team.
Seahawks: Pete Carroll said the best way his 3-3 team can honor owner Paul Allen, who died last week at 65, is to continue battling into contention after an 0-2 start.
Vikings: Kirk Cousins turned down a three-year, $90 million offer from the Jets, Sunday’s opponent, in favor of a three-year, $84 million deal with the Vikes.
