What are the most ridiculous stat lines (in any sport)? Can be single game, season, whatever. I'll start it off with a Houston flavor. In 2019, 72 year old QB Matt Schaub started in place of the injured Matt Ryan and threw for 460 yards on 39/52 with 1 TD and 1 INT. The Falcons lost the game 27-20. On paper it's not that crazy, except it was a 72 year old QB that was slow and lethargic in his 20s doing it. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SchaMa00/gamelog/2019/ Another: In 2002 the Houston Texans waxed the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-6 DESPITE being outgained on offense 422-47. The steelers ran NINETY FIVE PLAYS to the Texans FORTY!! Texans had 3 first downs (1 rush, 1 pass, 1 penalty) to Pittsburgh's 24. Pittsburgh possessed the ball for almost 40 mins!! How? The Steelers committed 5 turnovers to the Texans 2. 3 of the Turnovers resulted in touchdowns (2 pick 6's, 1 scoop and score). They weren't cheapies either. 40yd FBL-TD by Kenny Wright, 70yd INT-TD by Aaron Glenn, 65yd INT-TD by Aaron Glenn. The Steelers were 0-6 in the redzone and 8-23 on 3rd down. Bill O'Brien would have mentioned how the Texans offense wasn't horseshit. https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap?gameId=221208023
Whenever I see people bringing up statistics, I'm reminded of my favourite soccer boxscore of all-time:
Pretty decent trolling here... I still remember enjoying this one because they came back 3-0 that year against the evil Yankees. Josh Beckett and others drinking beer and eating chicken in the clubhouse. Maybe the Astros should have done this against the Rays? They still did it in 07 and won the WS too lol. https://www.espn.com/boston/mlb/sto...key-josh-beckett-jon-lester-party-report-says
Texans at Steelers, 12/8/02 40 snaps, 47 yards of offense, 3 first downs, won 24-6 https://www.espn.com/nfl/matchup?gameId=221208023
1993 Playoff Game Houston vs Buffalo dubbed The Comeback. The Comeback was an NFL playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Oilers. The game was played at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, New York on January 3, 1993. It featured the Bills recovering from a 32-point deficit to win in overtime, 41–38. To the present day, it remains the largest comeback in NFL history. "Everything Moon threw up was caught," Bills nose tackle Jeff Wright says. ... "Warren came out throwing darts," Buffalo linebacker Darryl Talley says.
Last game of the 2004 Big 12 season. Aggies vs UT. If TAMU beats UT, UT goes to the Cotton Bowl and TAMU gets a lesser bowl. But if TAMU loses, UT goes to the Rose Bowl and TAMU gets the Cotton Bowl.
Underdog Polk High defeated Andrew Johnson High School when RB Al Bundy scored his fourth touchdown in a single game by plowing through Spare Tire Dixon in the 1966 city championship game.
Can't remember the exact stats but Zach Grienke was pitching a world series game and the manager pulled him out and his team lost. Trying to recall the details.
https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/arti... County's high school basketball,2-0, in 1977. Those are some D-Bag coaches with Bill O'Brien-esce egos.
For fantasy football players with a big lead playing against a team with Michael Vick starting Monday Night Football November 2010... 333 yards passing 4 tds and 80 yards rushing with 2 more tds -- about 63 points in our league. And just this past Sunday night... Tyler Lockett dropped 64 points on 200 yards receiving, 15 catches, and 3 tds. (Standard bonuses included/ PPR league) The guy playing against the team with Lockett had the weekly league high score (bonus $$$) heading into the game and ended up losing by 7 after Tyler's explosion.
Possibly...though Padres do have a little more fun than most teams with scoreboards. Maybe it translates to broadcasts.
