The 8 NFL regular season records that could be broken in week 18

The 2021 NFL regular season will be remembered for many things: Antonio Brown and his follies, the issue of COVID-19 infections, Aaron Rodgers and his stance against vaccination and some records that can be broken.

Fair or unfair? We don’t know but some players are about to break some records in the regular season greatest of all time, because it was increased to 17 games per team. One more week to be able to seek to enter the history of the NFL.

But, some of these records have been established for several decades, when 14 games were played in the season, or when there were 16. The thing is that in week 18 of the NFL there could be new names in some lists.

Cooper Kupp, one of the players who has the opportunity to break several records, admitted that dthere should be a new roster starting from the 17-game season, in an interview for ESPN mentioned:

“We are in a new era of soccer. We are playing 17 games a year and many things were different before, those records weigh more considering that they were obtained in 16 games. We should separate the recordsRams receiver Cooper Kupp said.

What are the NFL Records that could be broken in week 18?

Yards per catch in a season

We’re going with the first record Cooper Kupp could break in the game against the 49ers in Week 18. The Rams catcher is a few yards away from putting his name in gold in the regular season. He only has 136 yards to go before he can place himself as number 1.

At the moment and after 17 weeks, counting one of rest for Rams, Cooper Kupp has 1,829 receiving yards this season and the one who holds the record is a certain ‘Megatron’, Calvin Johnson with 1,964, a mark he achieved with the Lions in 2012. Can Cupper Kupp get his name on the NFL books?

Receptions in an NFL season

Cooper Kupp’s 2021 season is proving to be a wonderful one and he could put the cherry on the cake if he set not one, but two records in Week 18 of the NFL. THe has that possibility and culminate as divisional champion, one of the best teams for the playoffs and his name in the records.

Michael Thomas of the Saints set this mark in 2019 with 149 receptions for the season, but Cooper Kupp is just 11 away from tying it and 12 away from breaking the mark.. He has 138 receptions this season, he will be one of Matthew Stafford’s main goals.

TJ Watt seeks playoffs and record with Steelers

Another of the records that can be broken in week 18 of the NFL has to do with defense. Steelers need a win to dream of a postseason and against Baltimore they have an unbeatable opportunity to achieve it.

TJ Watt is close to breaking the mark set by Michael Stahan in 2001. The former Giants player had 22.5 sacks and TJ Watt currently has 21.5., a catch and a half from putting his name in the record books. Will he be able to remove legend Michael Stahan?

NFL records not to mention Tom Brady, it’s almost a sin

The best player in the history of the NFL chases two records in this week 18 And although one of them is a bit complicated, because it is Tom Brady and with him on the field, anything is possible and literal, anything can happen in the Buccaneers.

First, he goes for the record for the most yards in a season held by Peyton Manning with the Broncos in 2013. The oldest of the Manning brothers had 5,477 yards in a single season, while Tom Brady in 16 games has 4,990. 487 yards remaining, but we reiterate, in one of those, it could not be impossible to achieve it.

Now, the second record Tom Brady could break in the NFL It is the most passes completed in a season and has it Drew Brees, who achieved 471 passes with the Saints in 2016. Brady has 456 completions at the moment, he only needs 16 passes and against the already eliminated Panthers, it would not be difficult at all.

Interceptions in a season

Not all records can be broken, but at least it can be tried and Trevon Diggs is a bit far from writing his name in the books. He has 11 interceptions this regular season and would need four more against the Eagles in Week 18 to get past Dick Lane., which set that mark in 1952, when only 12 games were played.

More field goals in one season

Bill Belichick and his kicker Nick Folk are close, so to speak, of an NFL record and the most field goals. The Patriots kicker was on pace to do it, but two bad games for the team made him stay with 35, the record of is David Akers in 2011, he achieved 44.

Non-presumed record of Saints in the NFL

Not all records are presumable, although it takes a lot to achieve them, even negative ones. Saints in 2012 received 7,042 yards throughout the season and in this season 2021-2022 the Jets are close, but still far from that mark. They have 6,336 yards, so it’s practically impossible to get past it… or is it?
