Look at the fun you can have on Pro Football Reference with these new early-years individual game stats. The only #NFL QBs (that we know of) who threw for 300 yards & 4 TDs & punted 5+ times in a single game:
1927 Ernie Nevers, Duluth (!!!)
1957 Norm Van Brocklin, #Rams
1983 Danny White, #Cowboys

Here's the answer to the question: "Where did the 1928 Benny Friedman stats come from?" David Neft, as all researchers know, is a giant in the profession. It was his encyclopedias, basically, that got me started.

retweeting this one from the Jalen Carter ejection last year for no particular reason

That was the fastest ejection in an NFL game since 2005, when Jeremiah Trotter and Kevin Mathis were ejected for fighting 40 minutes before the game started.

Nobody had ever seen a tight end like Mike Ditka when he hit the #NFL in 1961: 56 catches, 1,076 yards, 12 TDs. Only 4 other TEs have had a 50-1,000-12 season since. And Iron Mike did it in 14 games for a run-first team, the #Bears. An amazing player before winning the Super Bowl as a coach. R.I.P.
