• Peyton Manning set a record for most touchdown passes without an interception to start a season with 20. Later in the season Nick Foles of the Eagles nearly matched the mark by starting the season with 19 touchdowns before throwing an interception, which is the second longest such streak in league history.^[1]

Week 5

• Peyton Manning of the Broncos threw 20 touchdown passes before he threw his first interception of the season to set an NFL record for the longest such streak at the start of a season.

• The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs each won to become the last two remaining undefeated teams at 6–0, making this just the second time since the introduction of the division format in 1933 that two teams from the same division have maintained perfect records through six games. Both the Broncos and Chiefs play in the AFC West. The only other pair of teams to have achieved this feat are the 1934 Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions which each made it to 10–0.^[19]
• Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne caught five passes to become just the ninth player in league history with 1,000 receptions. With 1,001 career receptions Wayne is currently in eighth place on the all–time list for receptions. The Colts became the first franchise to have two players reach the milestone of 1,000 receptions: Wayne and Marvin Harrison. Wayne was the third fastest player to reach the mark, doing so in his 195th game. Only Harrison and Jerry Rice caught 1,000 passes in fewer games.^[20]

Week 7

• Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo made his 100th career start. The 27,485 passing yards he has compiled are the most by a player through 100 starts in league history.^[21]
• Kick returner Devin Hester of the Bears returned a punt for a touchdown. This score extended his NFL records in regular season punt return TDs (13) and combined punt or kick return TDs (19) while also moving him past Deion Sanders for the record of most career return TDs of any type, including playoff games (20).^[21]

Week 8

• Vikings kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson set a league record for the longest kickoff return at 109 yards. This return also ties the record for longest play of any type.^[22]

Week 10

• Peyton Manning, with his win over the Chargers in San Diego, now holds the record for most career road wins by a quarterback with 74.^[27] The record was previously held by Brett Favre who compiled a 73–76 road record compared to 74–42 for Manning as of this game.^[28]

• The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings played to a 26–26 tie after overtime at Lambeau Field. This was the first overtime game to end with no winner in which the overtime period was not scoreless (the regulation score was 23–23).^[34]

Week 13

• Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon became the first player in NFL history to gain 200+ receiving yards in each of two consecutive games.^[35]
• Alshon Jeffery, of the Chicago Bears, recorded 12 catches for 249 yards and two touchdowns. This, along with Josh Gordon's game, marked the first time in NFL history two players had at least ten catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns on the same day.^[35]
• With his 211–yard rushing effort against the Chicago Bears, Adrian Peterson of the Vikings breached the 10,000–yard mark for his career. He became the third fastest NFL player to reach 10,000 yards. Peterson accomplished this feat in his 101st career game. Eric Dickerson (91 games) and Jim Brown (98 games) reached this mark in fewer games.^[35]
• Tom Brady's second touchdown pass on Sunday was the 353rd of his pro career, all for the Patriots under Bill Belichick. That broke the NFL record for career TD passes under a particular head coach; Dan Marino threw 352 TD passes under Don Shula.^[36]
• Adam Vinatieri, of the Indianapolis Colts, kicked five field goals (47, 48, 45, 37, 49) against the Tennessee Titans.

Week 14

• Matt Prater, of the Denver Broncos, kicked a 64–yard field goal to set a record for the longest field goal in league history. The previous record of 63 yards had stood since 1970 and was shared by Tom Dempsey, Jason Elam, Sebastian Janikowski and David Akers.^[38]
• Saints quarterback Drew Brees passed for 313 yards in the victory against the Carolina Panthers, becoming just the fifth player in league history to surpass 50,000 yards passing. Brees reached the milestone in the fewest games (183). The other players to have achieved that level are Peyton Manning (191 games), Dan Marino (193), Brett Favre (211), and John Elway (229).^[39]
• With his seventh game of the year with four or more touchdown passes, Peyton Manning set an NFL record for most such games in a season. He broke the record set in 1984 by Dan Marino and equaled by Manning himself in 2004.^[39]

Week 15

• All teams on Sunday combined to score 763 points which set a new league single-day scoring record surpassing the 759 points scored on January 1, 2012.^[40]
• Jamaal Charles, of the Kansas City Chiefs, became the first running back in NFL history with four touchdown catches in one game. He also scored once on a run and no other player, regardless of position, had four touchdown catches and a touchdown run in a single game.^[40][41]
• Tony Gonzalez became the first tight end and the fifth player overall in NFL history to reach 15,000 receiving yards with his 62 yards against the Redskins. He currently has 1,313 catches, 15,008 yards and 110 touchdowns. Only Gonzalez and Jerry Rice have surpassed 15,000 receiving yards, 1,100 catches and 100 touchdowns in a career.^[41]
• Calvin Johnson had 98 yards receiving during the week which gave him 5,094 yards since the beginning of the 2011 season. He became the first player in NFL history to record 5,000 yards in a three-season span.^[42]
• Justin Tucker tied an NFL record for longest field goal in a dome with his game-winning 61 yard field goal. He also converted from 24, 29, 32, 49 and 53 yards in scoring every point of the Ravens' 18–16 victory over the Lions. In doing so, Tucker became the first player to make field goals from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s in a single game.^[43]

Week 16

• Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly recorded 24 tackles against the Saints which ties a record set by David Harris in 2007 for the most tackles recorded in a single game (since tackles became an official stat in 1994).^[3]

Week 17

• The defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens lost to the Cincinnati Bengals and were eliminated from post-season contention in week 17,^[44] thus ensuring there would be no repeat champion. The last team to defend their title were the 2004 New England Patriots, who won Super Bowls XXXVIII (2003) and XXXIX (2004).^[45] This marks a tie for the longest period between repeat winners in Super Bowl history. The other longest stretch without a back-to-back champion is the period between the Pittsburgh Steelers' wins in Super Bowl XIII (1978) and Super Bowl XIV (1979) and the San Francisco 49ers' victories in Super Bowl XXIII (1988) and Super Bowl XXIV (1989).^[46] The Ravens became the fifteenth Super Bowl winner to fail to make the playoffs in the following season, which includes six of the past 12 defending champions.^[44]

• The Broncos set the record for most Super Bowl losses with five.^[58]
• The Seahawks' defeat of the Broncos marked the first time in NFL history that a game ended with a 43–8 score.^[59][60]
