Opening Day Numbers

Monday, September 12, 2005 | Noah Brier

0 - Packers wins this season.

1 - Regular season regulation wins for the 49ers since December 7, 2003 (that includes yesterday's 28-25 win over the Rams).

3 - Opening-day games in NFL history where the losing team scored a touchdown and the winning team did not (the Bears were involved in two of the three, the other was in 1956 when they beat the Browns 9-7). (via Elias says ...)

6 - Teams that reached the playoffs last year that were defeated by sub-.500 teams on Sunday. (via Elias says ...)

8:26 - Minutes before Kris Jenkins was lost for the season (he returned briefly in the third quarter and had to be helped off the field again).

12 - Touchdowns Javon Walker scored last season (and will be missing from the Packers in 2005).

13 - Games in a row LaDanian Tomlinson has scored a rushing touchdown.

27 - Quarterbacks that have started for the Bears in the last 92 games. That's one QB for every 3.4 games.

31 - Rushing yards for J.P. Losman in Sunday's win over the Texans or roughly 1/4 Drew Bledsoe's total with the Bills in 48 games.

36 - Jimmy Smith's age.
