2020 regular season notes thread:

The #Panthers had four different players reach the 1,000 total yards mark in the 2020 season.

Robby Anderson [1,111], DJ Moore [1,215], Curtis Samuel [1,051] and Mike Davis [1,015] reached the rare achievement.

Props to first-year OC Joe Brady
#Steelers alien @_TJWatt led the NFL in sacks [15], TFL [23], and QB hits [41]

His brother, @JJWatt, led the league in sacks 2 separate times in his career.
#Dolphins star CB Xavien Howard had 1 INT in an injury-shorten season in 2019.

He came back to lead the league in picks with 10 and also led the league in passes defended with 20 [2 more than the next player]

Either Howard or Watt should win DPOY honors
#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers will win league MVP honors in a few weeks and it shouldn't be a debate.

The 37-year old has the best season of his career in 2020 with 48 TD passes to only 5 INTs and a QB Rating of 121.5 after 3 straight seasons of under 98 QB rating, what a rebound đŸ’Ș
Derrick Henry finished the 2020 season with the fifth most yards rushing in NFL history. Becoming the 8th player ever to reach 2,000

Henry also led the league in rushing in 2019 with 1,540 yards.

Henry scored 33 rushing TDs the past two seasons combined
Since losing on the Hail-Murray play on Week 10, the #Bills have won every game they played by double digits and scored 229 points while allowing only 110.

They're coming to the AFC playoffs red hot.
Deshaun Watson said he's proud what he was able to accomplish in a "dysfunctional year" with the #Texans

Watson led the league in passing yards with 4,823 on only 544 pass attempts.

Patrick Mahomes, who came second with 4,740 yards, passed 588 times.
The NFC East has now had 16 consecutive seasons that the defending division champion did not repeat as winner the following year.
The #Panthers gave Teddy Bridgewater a $63 million contract after he went 5-0 as a starter with the #Saints in 2019.

He finished the 2020 season benched for PJ Walker after throwing 2 INTs and has had 15 TDs with 17 INTs/Fumbles.

Bridgewater's dead cap for 2021 is $20 million.
#Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger faced the lowest pressure rate in the league in 2020 with only 20.9 percent of his drop backs.

Meanwhile, #Jets Sam Darnold faced the highest with 43.3 percent of his drop backs.
#Buccaneers WR Mike Evans became the first player in NFL history to open his career with seven straight 1,000 receiving yard seasons.

@RandyMoss held the previous record of 6.
The #Packers finished the 2020 seasons leading the league in points per game.

The top 5 teams were:
1. Green Bay: 31.8
2. Buffalo: 31.3
3. Tampa Bay: 30.8
4. Tennessee: 30.7
5. New Orleans: 30.1
#Browns QB Baker Mayfield finished the 2020 season as the most accurate deep ball passer in the NFL - his adjusted completion rate on throws more than 20 yards downfield was 51.9 percent.

#Texans Deshaun Watson had the 2nd best adjusted completion rate.
A year after the #NFL leader in INTs thrown, Jameis Winston, had 30, the leader in INTs this season had half that amount.

#Eagles Carson Wentz [12 games played] and #Broncos Drew Lock [13 games played] led the league with 15. No other QB even had 14 INTs.
At age 43, the best player in NFL history, Tom Brady scored 43 total TDs 🐐

Brady was 2nd in the NFL in TD passes behind likely-MVP Aaron Rodgers and was 3rd in passing yards with 4,633.

All in a completely different offensive system with no off-season.
Let's check out on some trades as the 2020 regular season closes

#Ravens TE Hayden Hurst was traded to the #Falcons for a 2nd round pick - they drafted RB JK Dobbins.

Hurst had 571 yards on 56 catches and 6 TDs.

Dobbins rushed for 805 yards, 9 TDs and added 120 yards receiving
#Bills traded a first round pick+more to the #Vikings for WR Stefon Diggs.

Diggs finished his first season in Buffalo leading the league in receiving with 1,535 yards on 127 catches and 8 TDs

Jefferson set the rookie record for receiving with 1,400 yards on 88 catches and 7 TDs
#Cardinals traded a 2nd round pick and RB David Johnson for DeAndre Hopkins. #Texans traded a 2nd round pick for #Rams Brandin Cooks

Kinlaw recorded 1.5 sacks and a pick-6 as a rookie.
#Giants QB Daniel Jones finished the 2020 season starting more games than his rookie season, [14 to 13] but his TDs passes declined from 24 down to 11 while he tossed 10 INTs and fumbled 11 more times

The Giants decided to hire Jason Garrett as his OC in 2020, that was a mistake
#Chargers Justin Herbert finished the season with 36 total TDs, an NFL record for a rookie and 31 of them came through the air, also a record. #Browns Baker Mayfield held the previous mark of 27

With 4,336, he came just shy of the passing yards mark of 4,374 set by Andrew Luck
