What long standing records or streaks will be challenged and potentially broken in the next five weeks?

For example, the Chiefs will not win the AFC West for the first time in a decade.

What are some other streaks, records or facts that will likely be broken in the next five weeks?

Will Tomlin finally have a losing season?

Will the Colts win in Jacksonville for the first time since 2014?

Saquon Barkley's rushing yards/attempt trends: (2025 worst YAC/att. in career; 2025 with a decline of 1.5 YBC/att. from 2024)

Yards After Contact per Attempt: This season Barkley has seen a decline of 0.6 YAC/att with a career low of 1.4. From 2022-2024 he was steady at 1.9-2.0. He is currently below the league average of 1.9 for YAC/att.

Yards Before Contact per Attempt: After Barkley had the third best YBC/att ever for a RB last year (3.8), he is at about league average this year with 2.3. (NFL avg 2.4)

Last season, 66% of Barkley's rushing yards came before contact; this dropped 5 points in 2025. In his first two years with the Giants his mix was significantly more from after contact. To no one's surprise, Barkley has been well above league average with Philly. (NFL average in 2025 56%)

The Patriots have had the 7th easiest schedule of the Superbowl Era per PFR's SRS

Heard this tidbit from Bill Barnwell and thought it was fascinating at just how easy their schedule has been so far. They do play the Bills next week, so it probably improves a bit in the end even as they finish up with the Jets and Dolphins.

SRS is explained here and just combines strength of schedule with point differential. https://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2015/03/srs-calculation-details/

But that's not the interesting part. The 6 teams with easier schedules includes: The 1970 Colts, The Undefeated '72 Dolphins and the Greatest Show on Turf '99 Rams, who all won the Superbowl.

So Christian McCaffrey is most likely gonna lead his team in receiving yards and rushing yards for the 2nd time in his career, and first person to post double 1000 rush/rec yards, how does that affect his all time RB ranking

McCaffrey, Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk have all led their teams in both receiving and rushing yards and all have had 1000/1000 rush rec yards.

Barring injury, McCaffrey will hit both those hurdles for the 2nd time and on a 2nd team (his first time was Carolina). The only person to do either of these things.

This is obviously insanely rare.

McCaffrey won't catch Faulk in career TDs, 136 to 94, rushing yards 12279 to 7236, and he is about 1500 yards behind in receiving yards.

Roger Craig hasn't made the hall of fame, Fred Taylor, Steven Jacskon, Corey Dillon all had more rushing yards than McCaffrey is gonna end up with most likely with over 11,000. Guys like Jamal Lewis (over 10000 yards rushing) and Chris Johnson (9600ish) had 2000+ yard rushing season and aren't gonna make it. Ricky Watters another 2 way back finished with 10k yards and hasn't made it.

Could it be that McCaffrey has two of the greatest seasons ever at RB and he doesn't even get in the hall?


edit:

If he finishes the season at his current rate, it will be the 4th time he leads the league in yards from scrimmage, Sanders, Faulk, Payton, and Smith only did that twice.

Also, people are claiming volume stats, while that might be partially true, he has a 58.9% success rate on receiving yards which is higher than most wrs and means his catches aren't 5 yards on 3rd and 12. His rushing succ % is 46.8% which is kinda average. So it is not bad volume.
