New York, NY– Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season promises to be a showcase of historic achievements and milestone moments, with several elite players positioned to etch their names deeper into the record books.
Quarterback Excellence Continues
The quarterback efficiency trend that defined Week 1 – with just 16 interceptions thrown, the fewest in a season opener since 1970 – could reach unprecedented levels. If 24 or fewer interceptions are thrown in Week 2, it would mark the lowest total through two weeks since the merger.
Aaron Rodgers Chases History
Pittsburgh’s Aaron Rodgers enters Week 2 with 507 career touchdown passes, just two away from surpassing Brett Favre (508) for fourth all-time. His Week 1 performance against Buffalo gave him his 28th career game with four touchdown passes and no interceptions, tying Tom Brady’s NFL record.
Matthew Stafford’s Steady Climb
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford needs just three touchdown passes against Tennessee to tie Matt Ryan (381) for ninth place on the all-time list, continuing his methodical ascent up the record books.

Dual-Threat Revolution
Week 1 saw 13 rushing touchdowns by quarterbacks, the second-most in a single week all-time. With four more QB rushing touchdowns in Week 2, this season would set a new record through two weeks.
Josh Allen stands on the verge of tying Cam Newton (45 games) for most games with both a passing and rushing touchdown in NFL history when Buffalo faces the Jets.
Rookie Sensations
The 2025 rookie class is already making waves, with 76 receptions in Week 1 – the second-highest total ever for rookies in a season opener.
Tight End Breakthrough
Cleveland’s Harold Fannin and Indianapolis’ Tyler Warren each caught seven passes in their debuts, joining elite company as only the fourth and fifth tight ends ever to achieve this feat in their first NFL game.
Emeka Egbuka’s Historic Start
Tampa Bay’s Emeka Egbuka became just the second player since 1970 to record a game-winning touchdown in the final minute of his NFL debut. He can make more history Monday night against Houston by becoming the first player ever with two touchdown receptions in each of his first two games.
Justin Jefferson’s Milestone Moment
Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson enters Sunday Night Football against Atlanta with 499 career receptions. His first catch will make him the youngest player ever to reach 500 receptions, tying Larry Fitzgerald’s record at 26 years and 90 days old.
Derrick Henry’s Dominant Run
Baltimore’s Derrick Henry led the NFL with 169 rushing yards and two touchdowns in Week 1. With another two-touchdown performance against Cleveland, he’ll surpass Adrian Peterson for third-most such games in NFL history.
Team Streaks on the Line
The Indianapolis Colts made history in Week 1 by becoming the first team in 47 years to score on every offensive possession. If they score on their first three drives against Denver, they’ll become the first team ever to score on their first 10 possessions of a season.
The Denver Broncos led the league with six sacks in Week 1. Another six-sack performance would make them just the sixth team ever to record six-plus sacks in each of their first two games.
Looking Ahead
Week 2 represents more than just another slate of games – it’s a potential turning point where individual excellence meets historical significance. From Rodgers chasing Favre to rookies rewriting the record books, this weekend promises to deliver moments that will be remembered for generations.
