ARIZONA

WR LARRY FITZGERALD leads the team with 646 receiving yards and is on pace for 1,292 yards. It would mark Fitzgerald's sixth career 1,000-yard season, the most in franchise history. He can also extend his team-record streak of consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to five

RB BEANIE WELLS has seven rushing touchdowns in seven games and is on track to pass JOHN DAVID CROW's team record of 14 set in 1962

Rookie PATRICK PETERSON is the first player in NFL history with three punt-return touchdowns in his first eight career games. He needs one PR-TD to tie Pro Football Hall of Famer JACK CHRISTIANSEN (1951), RICK UPCHURCH (1976) and DEVIN HESTER (2007) for the most ever in a season. Peterson would also join Christiansen as the only rookies to accomplish the feat. In only eight games, Peterson has already tied the team record for career PR-TDs set by Pro Football Hall of Famer OLLIE MATSON and VAI SIKAHEMA.

He would become the first Falcon to rush for at least 1,350 yards and 10 touchdowns in three different seasons and the first to record at least 10 rushing touchdowns in four consecutive seasons. Turner has 46 rushing touchdowns and needs three to pass GERALD RIGGS (48) for the most in franchise history.

CAROLINA

No. 1 overall pick QB CAM NEWTON is on pace for 4,786 passing yards, which would surpass the current rookie record (PEYTON MANNING, 3,739 in 1998) by more than 1,000 yards (1,047). Newton is on track to tie CHARLIE CONERLY (22) for the second-most passing touchdowns by a rookie. He has rushed for seven touchdowns, tied for the most by a rookie quarterback since the 1970 merger (VINCE YOUNG, 2006)...WR STEVE SMITH leads the NFC with 918 receiving yards and is on track for 1,836.

TE JASON WITTEN aims for the fourth 90-catch season of his career, which would tie TONY GONZALEZ for the most in NFL history by a tight end. Witten is on pace for 1,096 yards and looks to join Gonzalez as the only tight ends to record at least 90 catches and 1,000 yards in four different seasons

RB DE MARCO MURRAY, who set a team single-game record with 253 rushing yards in Week 7, leads NFL rookies with 539 yards and is on track to set the club rookie record currently held by Pro Football Hall of Famer TONY DORSETT (1,007 in 1977)
