Cool stat. Did require Patterson to be on IR so that Huntly and Algeier could get the yards.

Wonder if 4 teammates have ever had 500 yards rushing each for a year.

I don't think so. Closest team was probably 2019 Ravens, but their 4th leading rusher had less than 250 yards.

Almost all of our guys are over 300. Mariota is 20 yards away and Huntley is 35 yards away.

If we lose this week we will make history again by being the 1st team to lose 13 times when trying to go above .500. Lets hope the stat in the OP is the only record we break this week. 

Yeah, that'd be nice, love to see them have a legit win streak- with 4-5 games in a row. Lock the division away.

Losing the first two games of the season really ate up any margin for error. Lose two in a row now and they're suddenly in last place and much closer to a top 10 pick than a division title. They'd still be in the running for the division title, because no one is running away with this division, so Mariota still starts, unless his TOs are the cause of the losses.

Had we not gave the game away to the Saints we would be sitting pretty in the South.

Oh, no kidding, 5-3 , 2-1 in division.

 

I'm hoping the youngsters on the defense can step up in the second half of the year. This Sunday would a good time for AK-47's breakout 2 sack game.

When I read this, I thought, Falcons, and making good History just didn't go together in the same sentence.  LOL! 
But, I hope we can keep making "good History"....Lord knows we've had enough BAD!  🙂
