Myles Garrett
Cleveland Browns CLE · DE

1) Myles Garrett

We have finally arrived. No more pace watching. The all-time single-season sack record is in view.

With five games to go, Myles Garrett has racked up 19.0 sacks in 2025, just 3.5 sacks shy of the record of 22.5 set by Hall of Famer Michael Strahan in 2001 and matched by T.J. Watt in 2021.

Garrett already has two games with at least 4.0 sacks this season – making him one of only four players ever with multiple such games in a single season – and he'll need another quartet on Sunday to eclipse the record.

The Titans have allowed rookie Cam Ward to be sacked an NFL-leading 48 times in 2025. Opposing teams have racked up at least four sacks against the Titans in eight games, more than any other team in the NFL.

Nobody has come this close to the record since Watt equaled it in 2021, and this season's most prolific pass rusher has a golden opportunity to smash it in historic fashion in Week 14.

Micah Parsons
Green Bay Packers GB · DE

2) Micah Parsons

Garrett isn't the only one chasing down history in opponent backfields in Week 14.

Micah Parsons has 65.0 career sacks, third most behind only Garrett's 79.0 and T.J. Watt's 65.5 since Parsons was drafted in 2021. With 2.5 sacks on Thanksgiving in Detroit, Parsons moved past Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware for fifth most by a player in their first five career seasons, and he's staring down another Hall of Famer in Week 14.

Suiting up for the first time in the NFL's most played rivalry, Parsons needs just 1.5 sacks against the Bears to move past Derrick Thomas' 66.0 into fourth. Only Hall of Famer Reggie White with 81.0 sacks and the Watt brothers – J.J.'s 74.5 and T.J.'s 72.0 – have more through five seasons since individual sacks became an official stat in 1982.

Justin Jefferson
Minnesota Vikings MIN · WR

3) Justin Jefferson

Justin Jefferson has been the league's most productive receiver from the minute he stepped on an NFL field, racking up nearly 1,000 more receiving yards than any other player since he was drafted in 2020. The Vikings star wideout is the NFL's all-time leader in career receiving yards per game at 92.5 – the only player to average north of 90 yards per game through the air.

Nearing the conclusion of his sixth NFL season, Jefferson needs just 145 more yards to break Hall of Famer Randy Moss's record of 8,375 receiving yards through six seasons. He's reached that single-game mark 13 times in his young career, only topped by HOF Lance Alworth's 17 and Jerry Rice's 15 through six seasons.

He'll be facing the NFL's second-worst pass defense on Sunday – a Commanders team allowing 254.9 passing yards per game – with a chance to set the record.

Travis Kelce
Kansas City Chiefs KC · TE

4) Travis Kelce

At this stage of his career, Travis Kelce has a chance to make history each time he steps on the field, and it'll be no different when the Chiefs host the Texans on Sunday Night Football in Week 14.

You'll have to keep your eyes on each part of Kelce's receiving box score on Sunday night, so let's walk through what's on the line for each part.

In his career in primetime, Kelce has caught 351 passes – good for third most in NFL history. If he records another eight against the Texans, he'll move past Hall of Famer Jerry Rice's 358 for second most primetime catches in league history. Only Jason Witten, with 389 receptions in primetime games, has tallied more.

Kelce leads the Chiefs with 719 receiving yards this season, and with another 81 yards he'll join Rice as the only two players in NFL history to record at least 800 receiving yards in 12 consecutive seasons.

And to top it off in the endzone, Kelce is one of only three tight ends in league history to catch at least 30 touchdown passes in primetime. His 30 late-night scores are tied with Witten for second most, and with another in Week 14, Kelce would tie Jimmy Graham's 31 for the most receiving touchdowns ever under the lights.

Jalen Hurts
Philadelphia Eagles PHI · QB

5) Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts' Eagles fly west for a Monday Night Football clash with the Chargers, but he'll also need to find success on the ground to continue his ascent up the NFL record books.

With at least one touchdown pass and a touchdown rush, Hurts can become just the fifth player in NFL history to record at least one of each score in 30 career games. Josh Allen, Cam Newton, Hall of Famer Steve Young and Aaron Rodgers are the others.

Hurts has accomplished that feat in nine career primetime games, and with another such performance in Week 14, he'll join Allen as the only players to do so in 10 career primetime games.

Tied for sixth in the NFL with eight rushing touchdowns in 2025, Hurts is a pair of rushing scores away from his fifth consecutive season with double-digit rushing touchdowns. That has only been done by five other players in league history – all running backs. Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson did it in nine straight seasons, Derrick Henry is working on an active streak of eight, Adrian Peterson posted seven consecutive and Michael Turner and Shaun Alexander each rushed for at least 10 touchdowns in five consecutive seasons.
