December 12th, 2021 was remembered for Tom Brady becoming the all-time leader in PASS CMP while also starting the 700 PASS TD club with his GW-TD to Breshad Perriman to beat the Bills in OT. Myles Garrett broke the Browns season Sacks record with four games to go. George Kittle and Ja’Marr Chase both made history in a 49ers-Bengals OT thriller. Aaron Rodgers continued owning the Bears on SNF, Justin Herbert showed off his golden arm, and the Chiefs obliterated the Raiders after their pre-game antics.
Alvin Kamara is proving to be one of the best receiving RB’s ever, Cam Newton is cementing his legacy as an all-time RUSH TD machine at the QB position, and even Davis Mills got off to a record-breaking start against Seattle. KD and LeBron shined brightest in the NBA as they both had unprecedented outings while Quentin Grimes made Knicks history during the rookie’s first career start. The Denver Broncos also honored the late Demaryius Thomas with a delay of game to start their demolition against Detroit.
