In addition, 8 of their 30 drives have ended in a turnover, just around 26%. The league average for turnover percentage per drive is around 12%.

Rams, Seahawks, Cardinals, 49ers, Bucs, Falcons, Packers, Cowboys, Commanders, Eagles, Jets, Patriots, Dolphins, Steelers, Browns, Titans, Colts, Raiders, Chargers, and the Broncos themselves all scored fewer points than the Broncos had missed tackles.

I can't edit the title which is pretty clickbaity, so here's the full quote for anyone that doesn't wanna click the link:

“Trevor Lawrence is a great player,” Verse said Thursday. “He can go back there and he can dot you up all day, but he can also run the ball around you if you give him those gaps of the seams. And we’re just going to rush and get after him. We’re not going to rush scared because you can’t do that with anybody.

“If you rush scared, he’s just going to be back there dotting you up the whole time. We’re going to get after him. We’re going to get to him. We’re going to hit him. We’re going to try to sack him a couple times, hopefully a lot more than a couple, but we’re just going to do what we have to do to get that win.”

"Honestly, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wasn't mad that Philly traded for, I was actually happy. I was so happy to get out of Jacksonville," shared Bigsby on the September 10 episode of The BTM Podcast. "It was a blessing to get out of there. And when I got that call, it was a life-changing moment."

A few plays later, Grange came back into the game, woozy. They did it again, knocking him out cold. Both tackles were clean, he just hadn't been prepared for a team as fierce as the Maroons. As one eyewitness put it, "When he comes to, he looks up at our boys. And you know what Red Grange said? 'The hell with the $500 -- it ain't worth it.' And he walked off the field."

Years later, in 1954, the Galloping Ghost was giving a speech at a banquet hall and said he wanted to honor "the greatest football team the game had ever known". Most of the guests at the Chicago-area banquet were expecting him to praise the Bears. Instead, he praised those boys from Pottsville.

"The Pottsville Maroons were the most ferocious and most respected players I have ever faced. You know, I always believed the Maroons won the NFL championship in 1925 ... but were robbed of the honor."

Because rushing yards were not yet being tracked in 1929, nobody knows just how many yards Ernie Nevers contributed to his team's offense in that fateful game against the Bears, but what we do know is that on that day, he scored a whopping 6 rushing touchdowns, and kicked 4 extra points in the 40-6 victory.

But I wanted to shine a light on just how crazy versatile Ernie Nevers was during his 3-year run with the Cardinals.

In 1929, Nevers and the Cardinals faced off against the Providence Steam Roller in what was the first recorded night game in the history of the NFL. The Cardinals won 16-0, with Nevers throwing a 45-yard touchdown pass, kicking a field goal, and rushing for another touchdown.

A few weeks later, he scored all 19 of his team's points in a 19-0 victory over the Dayton Triangles, scoring three touchdowns and an extra point. Less than a week after this game, he had his 40-point game. Nevers had scored 59 points alone in a span of 4 days, yet he wasn't done.

Later in the year, he accounted for a touchdown pass, a touchdown rush, an extra point, and an interception in a loss to the Giants. He followed that game up with a 2-passing touchdown performance to go along with a rushing touchdown and 2 extra points in a season ending 26-0 win.

In 1930, he outdid every standard he had set for himself. In a 2-day span (yes, you read that right, two DAYS, not games), on October 29th and 30th of 1930, he scored 4 rushing touchdowns, a passing touchdown, a field goal, and 6 extra points, for a grand total of 39 points scored across two days.

Later in the season, he had a game where he ended the Packers' 22-game winning streak, accounting for all of the Cardinals points in a 13-6 victory.

His 1931 season was full of such heroic efforts as well, but it was the last game of his NFL career that would go down as the best of the year. He scored 2 rushing touchdowns, threw a 44-yard touchdown pass, and kicked all 3 extra points in his team's 21-0 victory. After this game, he would badly injure his wrist and retire at the young age of 29. In all 5 seasons that he started, he was a 1st Team All-Pro, and he was a slam dunk induction in the Inaugural Hall of Fame Class of 1963.
