Top five storylines from Week 14 of the 2020 National Football League regular season

There was some entertaining football from Week 14, but the level of football played offensively Monday night was simply spectacular. A total of 89 points was put on the scoreboard in the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns. At the end of the night, the Ravens won 47-42 in an AFC North Division juggernaut. Here are five of the top storylines from Week 14.

5) Raiders fire defensive co-ordinator Paul Guenther. Las Vegas’s inability to stop Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor on Sunday cost defensive co-ordinator Paul Guenther his job. The Raiders gave up 150 yards and two touchdowns to Taylor in a 44-27 loss. Even though Vegas has a record of seven wins and six losses, they have given up 391 points–the third most in the NFL. The only two teams who have given up more points than the Raiders are the Dallas Cowboys (400 points) and the New York Jets (393 points).

4) Kicking woes continue for the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings kicking struggles continued on Sunday as kicker Dan Bailey became the first kicker since 1961 to miss three field goals and one convert without making a field goal or a convert. The missed 10 points for the Vikings turned out to be extremely costly, as they were beaten 26-14 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

3) Davante Adams sets Packers franchise record for most consecutive games with a touchdown reception. We know Aaron Rodgers is having a fantastic season for the Packers, but we cannot forget about wide receiver Davante Adams either. Adams broke a Packers record for most consecutive games with a touchdown (eight). Don Hutson had the previous record of seven in 1941-42, and again from 1943-44. Adams ended the game with seven catches for 115 yards in a 31-24 Packers win over the Detroit Lions. The Packers are first in the NFC at 10-3.

2) Derrick Henry makes NFL history. The Tennessee Titans had no problem with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in a 31-10 win over their AFC South Division rivals. In the process, Titans running back Derrick Henry made NFL history with his 215 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Henry became the first running back in NFL history to have four games in his career with 200 yards rushing and two touchdowns. The previous running backs to accomplish the mark thrice were Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, and LaDainian Tomlinson. With the win, Tennessee remains in first place in the AFC South at 9-4.

1)Browns and Ravens combine for a NFL record nine rushing touchdowns. Getting back to the Monday night thriller in Cleveland, the Browns and Ravens combined for a NFL record-tying nine rushing touchdowns. We have literally not seen nine rushing touchdowns in a game in almost 100 years (1922 exact). In the five-point Ravens win, the Ravens had five rushing touchdowns, and the Browns had four rushing touchdowns. The three Ravens with rushing touchdowns were quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Gus Edwards (two each), along with J.K. Dobbins, who had one. The Browns with rushing touchdowns were running back Nick Chubb (two), along with running back Kareem Hunt and quarterback Baker Mayfield (one each). Baltimore improves to 8-5, and Cleveland drops to 9-4.
