NFC FROM A TO Z Falcons

49ers

They need four takeaways from the Rams to avoid setting a record for the fewest in a season (currently 11). LA averages only 1.3 giveaways.

Bears

Matt Nagy is the first Bears coach in more than 60 years with a winning record in his debut season. Paddy Driscoll went 9-2-1 in 1956.

Buccaneers

They have three players — leagueleader DeSean Jackson, Mike Evans and O.J. Howard — in the top six in yards per reception.

Cardinals

They have scored points on only 18.4 percent of their offensive drives — 35.4 percent less often than the leagueleading Saints.

Cowboys

Amari Cooper is averaging 87 receiving yards per game with the Cowboys and needs only 26 for his third 1,000yard season.

Eagles

Super sub Nick Foles threw for a franchise-record 471 yards last week to become the first Eagles QB with multiple 400-yard passing games. Julio Jones is the only player averaging more than 100 receiving yards per game. He needs 61 yards to finish with a triple-digit average.

Giants

RB Saquon Barkley needs 114 yards to join Edgerrin James and Eric Dickerson as the only rookies with 2,000 yards from scrimmage.

Lions

The Lions are trying to win four straight games against the Packers for the first time since taking seven of eight from 1980-83.

Packers

Davante Adams needs just two more receptions to break Sterling Sharpe’s season franchise record of 112, set in 1993.

Panthers

Christian McCaffrey is 76 yards from scrimmage behind NFL leader Ezekiel Elliott, who might not play with the Cowboys set at the 4 seed.

Rams

They are trying to win 13 games for the third time in franchise history, joining the 1999 and 2001 St. Louis teams that played in the Super Bowl.

Redskins

Adrian Peterson is sixth in the league in rushing, surpassing the 1,000-yard mark last week for the eighth time in his career.

Saints

Drew Brees is on pace to break the season completion-percentage record he set last year. He would need 17 straight incompletions to fall behind.

Seahawks

No team has finished with single-digit turnovers. The Seahawks have a chance to tie the 2011 49ers and 2010 Patriots with a record 10.

Vikings

They lead the league with 50 sacks, and the defense has allowed the fewest touchdown drives (25) for the second year in a row (23 in 2017).
