Crazy NFL Stat

[Prizefight]

Someone who went to the University of Miami has scored a touchdown every week since Week 15 of the 2002 season.

 

It's 139 straight week which encompasses 613 TD's scored by 33 different players

How many of them were scored by "friends" of Nevin Shapiro?

I'm guessing all of them. A couple of weeks have been kept alive by a Vinny Testeverde QB sneak for a TD, Ed Reed pick 6 and Hester punt returns

How the heck did you figure that out? Do you have similar stats for other colleges? This is actually kinda interesting.

I heard about it at the end of last year and thought about it again when Jimmy Graham scored against GB.

 

Here's an article I found about it:

I just computed it: the odds are about .179 that 613 TD's in 139 weeks would produce a streak. Not too mind-boggling considering just the sheer number of TD's Miami players have scored in the past 9 seasons.

Streak has officially ended. 149 straight weeks.

 

The University of Pittsburgh has the next longest. 13 weeks.
