Today, Gael Ochoa of @RiceFootball became the only FBS player this century to have four different TD runs of 50+ yards in a game. In the same game, Easton Messer of @FAUFootball became the only FBS player this century to have a game with 2+ rush TDs, 2+ rec TDs & a return TD.

Dyson Daniels had 5+ steals in each of his first two games to start the season, one of 4 players to do so this century (Kawhi Leonard - 2x, Chris Paul, Baron Davis). The only player over the last 40 seasons to do so in three or more games to begin the season is Baron Davis (4).

This World Series will be the 2nd championship-round matchup in the NBA, NFL, MLB or NHL between two franchises who had each been in the league for 25+ years without ever winning the title. The other was the 1999 Stanley Cup Final (Stars vs. Sabres).

The @sixers are the first team in NBA history to overcome a 20+ point halftime deficit to win their home opener.

The @nuggets' Nikola Jokic has recorded a triple double in his first game of the season four times throughout his career. That is tied with Oscar Robertson for most triple doubles by a player in his first game of the season in NBA history.

In their season openers: Bulls lost by 43 Suns lost by 41 Heat lost by 25 Kings lost by 25 Warriors lost by 22 Jazz lost by 20 This is the first time in NBA history 6 different teams lost their openers by 20+ points in the same season.

Walker Kessler went 12-for-12 from the field in his @Lakers debut. That's the most field goals without a miss by any player in his debut with a team in NBA history.

The @trailblazers are the only NBA team in the last 25 years with a 20-0 or better run to open a season.

LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown & Tyrese Maxey in their first game together for the @sixers: 74 points 32 rebounds 24 assists 8 blocks 7 steals 6 threes made 18 free throws made No other quartet in NBA history has combined to reach all of those marks in any single game.

This is the second time that both NBA Finals participants from the previous season lost at home in their season openers on the same day. The other came on October 18, 1974, when the Celtics fell to the Braves and the Bucks fell to the Rockets.

The Pistons are the first NBA team this century to trail by as many as 20 points in a season opener and end up winning by at least eight points.

The @EdmontonOilers' Connor McDavid has 6 goals and 17 assists in 2026-27. He is the only player in NHL history to reach those marks through his team's first eight games of a season.

Freddy Peralta over his last 10 appearances dating back to the regular season: 50.0+ total IP 1 run or fewer allowed in all 10 team won all 10 The last 2 MLB pitchers to do that over a stretch of 10 appearances (reg/post) were Bob Gibson (1968) & Walter Johnson (1913).
