Here’s a list of NFL team single-season records that could be broken this season:
Points
The Broncos have scored 535 points this season and have a good chance of breaking the record of 589, set by the 2007 Patriots.
Touchdowns
The Broncos have scored 68 touchdowns this season and have a good chance of breaking the record of 75, set by the 2007 Patriots.
Extra points
The Broncos have kicked 67 extra points this season and have a good chance of breaking the record of 74, set by the 2007 Patriots.
Passing first downs
The Broncos have 254 passing first downs this season, giving them a shot at the record of 280, set by the Saints in 2011.
Most first downs allowed
The Cowboys’ defense has allowed 350 first downs, putting them in striking range of the all-time record of 406, set by the 1981 Baltimore Colts.
Most passing first downs allowed
The Cowboys’ defense has also allowed 209 passing first downs, putting them in striking range of the all-time record of 246, set by the 2011 Packers.
Most total yards allowed
The Cowboys’ defense has allowed 5,982 total yards this season, putting them in striking range of the all-time record of 7,042, set by the 2012 Saints.
Most passing yards allowed
The Cowboys’ defense has allowed 4,163 passing yards this season, putting them in striking range of the all-time record of 4,796, set by the 2011 Packers.
Fewest punt return yards allowed
The Seahawks have allowed just 19 punt return yards this season. The NFL record is 22, set by the 1967 Packers.
Safeties
Here’s one you never would have guessed: The Jaguars have scored three safeties this season. The NFL record is four, first set by the 1927 Cleveland Bulldogs and equaled four times since then. So if the Jaguars get one more safety, they’ll have a share of an NFL scoring record. (Jacksonville’s safeties came on a holding penalty on Chance Warmack in the end zone against the Titans, a penalty on Brandon Weeden for illegally kicking a loose ball in the end zone against the Browns and a blocked punt out the end zone against the Chiefs.)
