• San Francisco's Jerry Rice needs one TD to become the NFL's first nonkicker to score 1,000 points. And if Rice catches a pass in each of his first nine games, he will become the league's alltime leader in consecutive games with a reception, surpassing Art Monk's record of 183.
• If he hits his first five field goals, Chris Boniol of the Eagles will break Fuad Reveiz's NFL record of 31 straight.
• Miami's Dan Marino needs 31 TD passes to be the first player to reach 400.
• New England's David Meggett is 117 punt-return yards shy of Billy (White Shoes) Johnson's career record of 3,317.
• Buffalo's Bruce Smith and Green Bay's Reggie White each need at least 10 sacks to become the first NFL players to have 11 seasons with 10 or more sacks.
• Brett Favre needs six TD tosses to pass Bart Starr as the Packers' alltime leader.
