WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN 2010
The CHICAGO BEARS need seven regular-season victories to become the first team in NFL history with 700 regular-season victories. Chicago’s all-time regular-season record is 693-507-42.
The DETROIT LIONS need three victories to reach 500 total victories. Detroit’s all-time record is 497-593-32.
The ARIZONA CARDINALS need 11 victories to reach 500 total victories. Arizona’s all-time record is 489-687-39.
The CLEVELAND BROWNS need six victories to reach 450 total victories. Cleveland’s all-time record is 444-403-10.
The KANSAS CITY CHIEFS need seven victories to reach 400 total victories. Kansas City’s all-time record is 393-372-12.
The HOUSTON TEXANS need one victory to reach 50 total victories. Houston’s all-time record is 49-79-0.
The INDIANAPOLIS COLTS have advanced to the playoffs in each of the past eight seasons and can tie the NFL record for most consecutive playoff appearances if they qualify for the 2010 postseason. Indianapolis would join Dallas (1975-1983) as the only teams with nine consecutive playoff appearances.
Indianapolis needs 12 regular-season wins to become the first team in NFL history with eight consecutive 12-win seasons.
Indianapolis is the only team to accomplish the feat in seven consecutive seasons.
Afew notable performances on opening day weekend history in the NFL:
MOST YARDS RUSHING YARDS ATT LG TD
Norm Bulaich, Baltimore vs. N.Y. Jets, 9/19/71 198 22 67t 1
(Note I remember sitting around the dining room table, eating dinner and watching this on a little, snowy black & white TV while Bulaich ran all over the Jets - are you listening Ray Rice?)
MOST YARDS PASSING YARDS ATT COMP TD INT
Johnny Unitas, Baltimore vs. Atlanta, 9/17/67 401 32 22 2 1
(Note: Don't remember this one, but I'm sure Johnny U. had a bunch of these.)
MOST YARDS RECEIVING YARDS REC LG TD
Anquan Boldin, Arizona vs. Detroit, 9/7/03 217 10 71t 2
(Note: Vaguely recall this but hope he replaces it with another next Monday night!)

I took off Monday so I can be sure to watch the Ravens game that night. Luckily all of our off season moves have made it much easier to deal with the lack of football. We need to come out and hit the Jets right in the mouth. Although my ignorant brother says it won’t mean anything if we do.(He is a bandwagon Indy fan)
