Led by the Cowboys, 49ers and Eagles, the NFC has seven teams at 2-0, the first time that has ever happened in a single conference.
has been more of a surprise, going from fifth-round pick to a record-setting start to his career. Nakua's 25 catches are the most for a player in his first two NFL games, shattering the mark of 19 Earl Cooper set in 1980.
Nakua has gained 270 yards — nearly one-third of the Rams' total. He has 43.1% of the Rams' catches so far this season, the highest for any player through two games since Vincent Jackson had 50% of Tampa Bay's catches in the first two games of the 2013 season.McCaffrey played every offensive snap for the San Francisco 49ers last week — the 15th time he has done that in his career. In an era when teams rotate backs, McCaffrey is an exception.
Sportradar has snap data back to 2006 and the running back with the second-most games playing every snap is Matt Forte with eight. Only four other backs have done it even three times: Le'Veon Bell , Frank Gore , Steven Jackson and Ronnie Brown . Since McCaffrey entered the league in 2017, all other running backs have played every snap only 10 times.It's not as if the heavy workload limits McCaffrey's production. He had a 51-yard run Sunday and finished with 116 yards rushing. His 268 yards rushing are the most through two games of a season since DeMarco Murray had 285 for Dallas in 2014.
