DID YOU KNOW?

After purchasing rights to the team in 1959, owner Billy Sullivan originally wanted to call them the “Bay State Patriots”.

It has a ring to it, but it was rejected by the NFL.

The added 17th game to the NFL schedule will certainly give current players an edge when chasing all time career records.

With that said: IS IT SAFE?

👀 Jerry Rice’s 22.895 career receiving yards 🥇

The pass catching 🐐 has set quite a mark. But what about a young superstar like Justin Jefferson?

Jefferson is dominant.. putting up a towering 1,809 yards in 2022. What if he did it again? And again? And again?

At this point, if J Jetta matched his career high and put up 1,800 yards a year, every year.. he’d break the record in January, 2034 🤯

Of course, just 1 year lost to injury pushes that back to 2035, and this scenario is assuming he remains THIS dominant for 10 additional seasons.
