Chad Pennington had a notable career in the NFL. While another quarterback, Jake Browning, eclipsed Pennington's three-game record last week, Pennington's passer rating is among the best of all-time.
Let's delve into some interesting facts and figures from the NFL world, including a mention of Chad Pennington who was one of the starting quarterbacks for the Miami Dolphins.
Miami Dolphins and Quarterbacks
Since Eli Manning made the first of his 179 consecutive starts on Nov. 21, 2004, the Dolphins have used 13 different starting quarterbacks: A.J. Feeley, Sage Rosenfels (who was Manning's backup in 2010), Gus Frerotte, Daunte Culpepper, Joey Harrington, Cleo Lemon, Trent Green, John Beck, Chad Pennington, Chad Henne, Tyler Thigpen, Matt Moore, and current starter Ryan Tannehill.
Statistical Achievements and Milestones
In Week 14 against the Eagles, Aubrey made kicks from 45, 50, 59 and 60 yards. Aubrey is the first kicker in the Super Bowl era to make multiple field goals of 59 or more yards in a single game.
Wallace's score was just the fourth via an overtime punt return in NFL history -- but the second this season. Prior to this season the only players with a punt return touchdown in overtime were Patrick Peterson in 2011 against the Rams and Chiefs return specialist Tamarick Vanover in 1995 against the Chargers.

Purdy has had a passer rating of at least 100 in 12 of his 18 career starts, tied for the second-most such games in a player's first 18 starts since 1950 (tied with Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Kurt Warner). Mr. Irrelevant has completed at least 70 percent of his passes in seven consecutive games and is just the fourth quarterback to ever do so in a single season -- joining Drew Brees (2016), Joe Montana (1989) and Sam Bradford (2016). With another such game in Week 15, Purdy can tie Montana for the longest streak within a season.
Samuel became the second player in NFL history to total at least 100 yards receiving and score via receiving and rushing in back-to-back games, joining Eagles running back Timmy Brown in 1960.
Nacua, who had a steady day with five receptions for 84 receiving yards, now has 1,113 receiving yards in his career. Nacua joined Odell Beckham, Anquan Boldin and Randy Moss as the only players in the Super Bowl era with 1,100-plus receiving yards in their first 13 career games.
At 113.4 in his first three starts, Browning is zeroing in on the top marks in a player's first four starts: Kurt Warner (136), Patrick Mahomes (125.8), and Frank Reich (114.9).
In addition to his 79.3 completion percentage, Browning also has 856 passing yards in his three career starts.
