NFL Scoreboard – Week 5

The Rams stayed undefeated. The Chiefs almost did, but finally succumbed to the powerful Pats.

Highlights:

Adam Thielen of the Vikings has amassed at least 100 receiving yards in each of his first six games. That has not happened since 1961, and has never happened in the Super Bowl era. In fact, Thielen already had the “Super Bowl Era” record last week, because nobody else in that time-frame has ever gone past four! Thielen needs one more to tie the all-time record set by Charley Hennigan, who began the 1961 season with seven consecutive 100-yard receiving games.

That’s a pretty cool thing because Thielen has played his entire football life in Minnesota. He played his high school ball in a small town near the North Dakota border, and played his college ball for a D-II team in the state university system.

Todd Gurley II of the Rams rushed for 208 yards.
