“Wow, I just can’t believe it! I still haven’t gotten over the happiness of winning game #1 yet… to be a Jeopardy winner of any amount is such an honor and a joy!” Amodio wrote on Twitter while also thanking viewers for joining him on this “unbelievable ride.” Now he is within touching distance of third place, currently held by Jason Zuffranieri, who achieved total earnings of $532,496. student from New Haven, Connecticut, had already become the fourth-highest regular season earner in the show’s history, surpassing past champions Julie Collins ($428,100) and David Madden ($430,400). Akers and Rackers are the only kickers to ever reach the 40-field goal mark, but it looks like they're going to get some company this year.Īfter impressively making two field goals amid crazy weather conditions in the New England Patriots' road win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, veteran Nick Folk has connected on a career-best 33 of his 35 field goal attempts through 13 games.įolk, who's in his age-37 season, should challenge Akers' record, as he's on pace to finish with roughly 43 field goals.Current Jeopardy! champion Matt Amodio is close to breaking another record after reaching the $500,000 mark in the Wednesday, August 11 episode. Who doesn't love some kicker drama? Two-time All-Pro David Akers made 44 field goals in his age-37 season with the 49ers in 2011, breaking Neil Rackers' record of 40. Most field goals made in NFL season: 44 - David Akers You especially have to like Watt’s chances when you consider three of the signal callers he’s set to face are among the top six in sacks taken this year - Lamar Jackson (36 sacks taken), Ryan Tannehill (33) and Baker Mayfield (29). Watt, who has failed to record at least one sack just twice in 2021, will need seven quarterback takedowns over the final five weeks to surpass Strahan. After a 3.5-sack performance in Pittsburgh's Week 13 victory over Baltimore, the fifth-year defensive end is now on pace to finish with a record-breaking 24 sacks. Watt has amassed a career-high 16 sacks in 10 games played. Watt looks primed to do what Allen and Houston couldn’t and reach that elusive 23-sack mark. Jared Allen racked up 22 sacks as a member of the Minnesota Vikings 2011, and Justin Houston reached the same number with the Kansas City Chiefs three seasons later.ĭespite missing two games this season, Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Most sacks: 22.5 - Michael StrahanĪ couple of players have come within one sack of breaking Giants legend Michael Strahan’s record of 22.5, which he set in 2001.
Dallas closes the season against Washington’s Taylor Heinicke (who’s thrown 11 interceptions in 12 games), New York’s Daniel Jones (seven interceptions in 11 games), Arizona’s Kyler Murray (seven interceptions in nine games), Heinicke again and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts (eight interceptions in 11 games). Working in Diggs’ favor is he still has some interception-prone quarterbacks remaining on the schedule. The Alabama product has to average one interception per game the rest of the way to at least match Lane’s tally of 14. The longest Diggs has gone without a pick is two games, and he’s up to nine total through 12 games. Diggs began his second NFL season with at least one interception in each of Dallas’ first six games. The closest anyone has come to at least matching Lane’s record since was Lester Hayes, who made 13 interceptions with the Oakland Raiders in 1980.īut Dallas Cowboys corner Trevon Diggs is making a serious run at it in 2021. The longest-standing record on this list, former Rams cornerback Dick "Night Train" Lane picked off 14 passes as a rookie in 1952, breaking the previous high mark of 13 set by Washington’s Dan Sandifer in 1948 (which, coincidentally, was Sandifer’s rookie season as well).
Most interceptions in NFL season: 14 - Dick Lane 5 seed by the time Week 18 rolls around, which could lead head coach Sean McVay to rest Kupp and other key Rams players for the regular-season finale versus the San Francisco 49ers. What may hurt Kupp’s chances in breaking either of these records is the Rams’ playoff standing.
He would need to average 10 receptions per game to finish the season, and he’s reached double digits in catches just three times this year. However, this one will be a little tougher for Kupp. The Rams wide receiver is 50 receptions away from passing New Orleans Saints wideout Michael Thomas who recorded of 149 catches in 2019. The receiving yards mark isn’t the only record Kupp is chasing down.
Most receptions in NFL season: 149 - Michael Thomas
