Quiz Description

2019 was a wonky year for football stats and fantasy football managers (including this one) scrambled to figure out who to play each week. Who were the actual stat leaders though? That is what this quiz is for. Since the Superbowl has not occurred yet, I'll only be covering stats for 2019 regular season. Good luck to the 49ers and Chiefs! It should be a really good game!

Questions:

Let's start with the stat king of this year's season: the Baltimore Raven's Lamar Jackson. Before being upset by MY Tennessee Titans (#TitanUp), Jackson and the Ravens were heavy favorites to win it all. Within 4, how many touchdowns did Jackson throw this year?

Click to Reveal Answer
36 (32-40)

Jackson didn't just have great passing stats but crazy rushing stats as well. He led the NFL in rush yards per attempt. In his fifth year in the NFL, which San Francisco running back was second behind Jackson?

Click to Reveal Answer
Raheem Mostert

Can't talk about running backs without talking about MY BOY, Derrick Henry. With over 1,500 rushing yards, #22 was the rush king for the year. He also tied for first with the most rushing touchdowns at 16. Which Green Bay Packer also had 16 rush TDs?

Click to Reveal Answer
Aaron Jones

If I'm going to mention Henry being the rush king, I must also mention the guy who had the most receiving yards: Michael Thomas. But come on, he always has over 1,000 yards (G.O.A.T. in the making). Third on the list of receiving yards is a guy from Tampa Bay who seemed to not drop anything this year and tacked on almost 500 yards to his total 2018 yardage. Name him.

Chris Godwin

Let's stay in Tampa Bay and talk about Jameis Winston. He made big news by being the first NFL QB to do the 30-30: at least 30 touchdowns AND interceptions in one season. Not great. What is great however is another stat he led: passing yards. Within 200, how many yards did Winston throw this year?

Click to Reveal Answer
5,109 (4,909-5,309)

Winston may have tried his best but the Bucs still went 7-9 and missed out on the playoffs. Five other teams also shared this middling record. Name three of them.

Click to Reveal Answer
New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons

None of the teams in the previous question had great defenses but one defense that was certainly great was the New England Patriots. (That is, until they got beat by MY TITANS in the playoffs. Sorry, Pats fans. Kinda.) Which cornerback for the current NFL champs co-led the league for most interceptions?

Click to Reveal Answer
Stephen Gilmore

Let's move from defense to special teams, the place where offensive and defensive players mesh. Which Indianapolis running back was the only player to return TWO punts for touchdowns?

Click to Reveal Answer
Nyheim Hines

Now, let's talk about the real superstars of special teams: the kickers. They got legs of steel or, in the case of the Titans, legs that get hurt real easy. Which Kansas City Chief was the MVP of kickers? He helped his team amass an astonishing 147 points (34 field goals and 45 extra points)?

Click to Reveal Answer
Harrison Butker

Just a few more to wrap us up: only one player surpassed 2,000 yards combined rushing and receiving yards (2,392 to be precise). I hate to see this Carolina Panther on my opponent's fantasy team. I might've wish the flu on his blonde head and I am not ashamed!

Christian McCaffrey

I've mostly been talking about the best stats, but let's talk about some of the worst too. Which NFC East team had the worst points per game average with just 16.6?

Click to Reveal Answer
Washington Redskins

Even Progressive couldn't help him. Of all the QBs who played all 16 games, who had the worst unadjusted passer rating (78.8)? It was especially satisfying for the author of this quiz who has had an unmitigated distaste for this particular player since his college days in Oklahoma.

Baker Mayfield
