NFL players to record three consecutive 10-reception games
Cardinals Air It Out Three Arizona Cardinals wide receivers -- LARRY FITZGERALD, STEVE BREASTON and ANQUAN BOLDIN – can reach an NFL milestone this week. They can become the first trio of wide receivers in history to reach 40 receptions each through the first eight games of a season. Fitzgerald (43) has already met the mark and Breaston (37) and Boldin (36) need three and four catches, respectively. The other trios to reach 40 receptions each in their team’s first eight games: 2002 Oakland Raiders: 2006 Detroit Lions:
Big Ben Connects on Big Gains Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback BEN ROETHLISBERGER has thrown long touchdown passes in his past three games, all to wide receiver NATE WASHINGTON (48, 50 and 65 yards). On Monday night, Roethlisberger can become the fifth quarterback since 1970 to throw touchdown passes of 48 or more yards in four consecutive games. If he completes such a pass to Nate Washington, it would be the first time that all four throws went to the same player. Following are the quarterbacks to throw touchdown passes of 48 or more yards in four consecutive games:

Running Down a Dream The NFC East Division has the best winning percentage so far this NFL 2008 season (.700). A big key to the success of the two teams atop the division is their ability to run the ball. The New York Giants (6-1) lead the NFL in rushing (157.3 yards per game), while the second-place Washington Redskins (6-2) are paced by the NFL rushing leader, CLINTON PORTIS (944 yards). If the Giants and Portis are able to maintain their pace for the entire season, it would become only the sixth time since 1970 that the league’s team and individual rushing leaders come from different clubs in the same division. The leading rushing teams and individual rushers from different clubs in the same division:
Thunder & Lightning While the Tennessee Titans have made their mark as a team this year by going undefeated (7-0), their one-two punch at running back looks to make history on their own. Titans rookie CHRIS JOHNSON (first round, East Carolina) leads the AFC in rushing (626 yards) and three-year veteran LEN DALE WHITE tops the NFL in rushing touchdowns (10). The duo seeks to become only the second pair of running backs from the same team to individually lead their conference in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns since 1970. The Denver Broncos accomplished the feat in 1974 with OTIS ARMSTRONG leading the AFC in rushing (1,407 yards) and JON KEYWORTH topping it in rushing touchdowns (10).
Brett Favre Takes Aim at "The Ralph" New York Jets quarterback BRETT FAVRE can tie the record (31, DAN MARINO) for regular-season wins in the most NFL stadiums when the Jets visit the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday. Favre has lost in his three previous trips to Buffalo while with the Green Bay Packers. When the Jets travel to Tennessee (LP Field) and Seattle (Qwest Field) later this season, Favre will have the chance to add to the list of stadiums in which he has won games. Quarterbacks with the most regular-season victories in different NFL stadiums (since the Super Bowl era, 1966):
Big Week in Washington It’s Monday Night Football in Washington, followed by Election Day! When the Washington Redskins host the Pittsburgh Steelers this Monday night, it will be the first MNF game in D.C. the night before a presidential election in 24 years – since November 5, 1984, when Washington defeated Atlanta 27-14. The next day, RONALD REAGAN was re-elected as the 40th president of the United States.
