ROOKIES NOT ONLY PLAYING, THEY’RE WINNING:
The CLEVELAND BROWNS make the two-hour bus ride to play the PITTSBURGH STEELERS on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS) in a game that features Cleveland’s BAKER MAYFIELD, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2018 draft, against an undrafted rookie, DEVLIN HODGES. The 2018 and 2019 seasons are two of only four in NFL history that have had five-or-more quarterbacks win at least one start (Hodges won his first career start earlier this year). The league-record is seven, in 1987. Five rookie quarterbacks also started and won at least one game in 2012.
MAHOMES, JACKSON HAVE HISTORY IN THEIR SIGHTS:
The OAKLAND RAIDERS meet the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, CBS). Kansas City quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES (age 24) enters the week ranked fifth in the NFL with a 110 passer rating. Baltimore quarterback LAMAR JACKSON (age 22) enters the week ranked third with a 111.4 mark. Prior to 2019, only twice in 99 NFL seasons has a player under the age of 25 finished a season with a passer rating of 110 or higher: Mahomes in 2018 (113.8) and NICK FOLES in 2013 (119.2).
