NFL Fun Stats is put together to provide a wide range of number-oriented morsels for those who crave the delicacy and “geekdom” of NFL statistics, news and notes. If you’re not quoting one note each week, I’m not doing my job. Here are your water cooler nuggets.

4

– Super Bowls appearances made by the Minnesota Vikings in their franchise history. Unfortunately they are winless (0-4). In those four games combined the Vikings’ offense scored a total of just 34 points. In the history of the Super Bowl, 18 teams have scored 34 points or more alone in one game.

20

– Times in the history of the Super Bowl a running back has rushed for over 100-yards rushing. The overall record of 100-yard rushers is 16-4. Apparently you run to win in the big game.
