What To Look For – NFL Week 10

With a start in Germany, Tampa Bay quarterback TOM BRADY will become the first quarterback to start a game in three different countries outside of the United States. Each of his three previous international starts came with New England, with one start in Mexico City (Week 11, 2017) and two starts in London (Week 7, 2009 and Week 8, 2012). Brady is 3-0 in international games and his 125.2 passer rating is the highest among all quarterbacks who have started multiple games outside of the United States.

Brady, who has the fewest interceptions (one) among all quarterbacks with at least three starts this season, enters Week 10 with 373 consecutive pass attempts without an interception and can surpass AARON RODGERS in 2018 (402) for the most consecutive pass attempts without an interception in NFL history.

The players with the most consecutive pass attempts without an interception in NFL history:

Since entering the NFL in 2014, Tampa Bay wide receiver MIKE EVANS ranks second among all players in touchdown receptions (78) and third in receiving yards (9,918) and is the only player in league history with at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first eight career seasons.

With at least 82 receiving yards, Evans can become the sixth player all-time with at least 10,000 receiving yards and 75 touchdown receptions in his first nine career seasons, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers MARVIN HARRISON, CALVIN JOHNSON, RANDY MOSS and JERRY RICE as well as LARRY FITZGERALD.
