The NEW YORK GIANTS need five regular-season victories to become the third team in NFL history with 650 regular-season victories. The Giants (645-531-33) would join Chicago (712-520-42) and Green Bay (679-525-36) as the only teams to accomplish the feat.
The PITTSBURGH STEELERS (below) need nine victories to become the first AFC team to reach 600 total victories. Pittsburgh’s all-time record is 591-538-21.
The ARIZONA CARDINALS need four regular-season victories to reach 500 regular-season victories. Arizona’s all-time regular-season record is 496-689-39.
The SAN DIEGO CHARGERS need eight regular-season victories to reach 400 regular-season victories. San Diego’s all-time regular-season record is 392-385-11.
The Chargers need to score a touchdown in their next game to join Cleveland (166 games from 1957-69) as the only teams in NFL history to score a touchdown in 150 consecutive games. San Diego has scored a touchdown in each of its past 149 games.
