Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season was historic for many reasons – from a record number of blocked kicks to big guys on the defensive line scoring touchdowns.
If you’re looking for stats that can make you sound smart with your friends this week, we have you covered. The FOX Sports research team has identified its favorite nuggets from the week to share.
Let’s get into it.
1. There was a bonanza of blocked kicks on Sunday in Week 3.
- The last time we had five blocked field goals in a day was Sept. 17, 2006.
- The four blocked field goals in the fourth quarter are the most in the closing period since at least 1991, which is as far back as our data goes.
2. Jordan Davis (336 pounds) is the heaviest player in NFL history to return a blocked kick 50-plus yards for a touchdown.
3. Jonathan Taylor now has nine rushing touchdowns of 45+ yards in his career. That’s tied with Derrick Henry and Chris Johnson for the most by any player in NFL history prior to their 27th birthday.

The last player with a 60+ yard TD of each was Eddie Jackson of the Chicago Bears on Oct. 22, 2017, against the Carolina Panthers (Week 7).
5. Carson Wentz is the first QB to start for six different teams in a six-year span since 1950.
