Last week, Jones became the third quarterback all-time with a touchdown pass, rushing touchdown and a passer rating of 100-or-higher in three of his team’s first six games of a season, joining Josh Allen (2020 with Buffalo) and Dak Prescott (2017 with Dallas).
  • Colts running back Jonathan Taylor leads the league with 603 rushing yards and eight scrimmage touchdowns this season. He is the only AFC player with at least 85 scrimmage yards in each of the first six weeks.
  • Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had two touchdown passes and a 112.2 passer rating last week and joined Patrick Mahomes (44 games) and Russell Wilson (36) as the only players with at least two touchdown passes and a passer rating of 100-or-higher in 35 games in their first six seasons in NFL history.
