2 -- Chargers quarterbacks since 1988 to start and win in three consecutive games -- Stan Humphries and Billy Joe Tolliver. San Diego has started 16 different QBs in that span. Doug Flutie has won his first two starts.
3 -- Teams whose leading rusher is a quarterback -- Minnesota (Daunte Culpepper), Philadelphia (Donovan McNabb) and San Francisco (Jeff Garcia).
4 -- Consecutive victories by the Jets on Monday Night Football, the longest active streak in the league. New York rallied from a 30-7 deficit to beat Miami in its last Monday night game. The Jets play the 49ers on Monday.
5 -- Teams that Arizona has an all-time winning record against -- Atlanta, New England, New Orleans, Tennessee and Seattle. The Cardinals' .650 winning percentage against the Falcons -- Sunday's opponent -- is their second-best against any team (.833 against the Seahawks).
6 -- Teams that have scored fewer than 26 points in their first two games: New England, Seattle, Washington, Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota. San Diego kicker Wade Richey leads the NFL with 26 points.
7 -- Games played by the Patriots in which Drew Bledsoe has not started since he was drafted in 1993. New England is 1-6 in those games. The only other quarterbacks to start for the Pats in that span are Scott Zolak and Scott Secules. Tom Brady will start Sunday against the Colts.
8 -- Times the Redskins have allowed 30 or more points in three consecutive games in their 69-year history. Washington has done it only twice since 1967 ('81 and '94). The Redskins allowed 30 in Week 1 (Chargers) and 37 in Week 2 (Packers).
10 -- Years since the Eagles' last three-game winning streak against the Cowboys. Philadelphia, which swept Dallas last season, won eight in a row from 1987-91.
12 -- Times Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has been sacked this season, putting Seattle on an early to pace to break the team record for most times sacked in a season (67 in 1992).
15 -- Quarterbacks expected to start in Week 3 who were not selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft. The Dolphins-Rams game features two undrafted free agents -- Jay Fiedler and Kurt Warner. Jon Kitna and Garcia also were not drafted.
21 -- Years since the last time Kansas City started a season 0-3, when it finished 8-8 in 1980. The 0-2 Chiefs play at 0-2 Washington on Sunday.
