In their season openers: Bulls lost by 43 Suns lost by 41 Heat lost by 25 Kings lost by 25 Warriors lost by 22 Jazz lost by 20 This is the first time in NBA history 6 different teams lost their openers by 20+ points in the same season.

Walker Kessler went 12-for-12 from the field in his @Lakers debut. That's the most field goals without a miss by any player in his debut with a team in NBA history.

The @trailblazers are the only NBA team in the last 25 years with a 20-0 or better run to open a season.

There have been 207 players in NBA history who have averaged at least 15.0 PPG in their first NBA season. Anthony Edwards is the only one of them who has increased his scoring average in each of his next 5 seasons in the NBA.

LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown & Tyrese Maxey in their first game together for the @sixers: 74 points 32 rebounds 24 assists 8 blocks 7 steals 6 threes made 18 free throws made No other quartet in NBA history has combined to reach all of those marks in any single game.

The @TBLightning are the first NHL team to have 4 different players score an unassisted goal at even strength in the same game since the Bruins did so on February 6, 1938.

This is the second time that both NBA Finals participants from the previous season lost at home in their season openers on the same day. The other came on October 18, 1974, when the Celtics fell to the Braves and the Bucks fell to the Rockets.

The Pistons are the first NBA team this century to trail by as many as 20 points in a season opener and end up winning by at least eight points.

The @EdmontonOilers' Connor McDavid has 6 goals and 17 assists in 2026-27. He is the only player in NHL history to reach those marks through his team's first eight games of a season.

Freddy Peralta over his last 10 appearances dating back to the regular season: 50.0+ total IP 1 run or fewer allowed in all 10 team won all 10 The last 2 MLB pitchers to do that over a stretch of 10 appearances (reg/post) were Bob Gibson (1968) & Walter Johnson (1913).

The only championship-round matchup in the NBA, NFL or NHL between 2 franchises who had each been in that league for 25+ seasons without ever previously winning a title was the 1999 Stanley Cup Final between the Stars and Sabres.

This will be the first World Series in history between 2 teams who had each been in MLB for 25+ seasons without ever previously winning a title.

Gabby Williams of the @valkyries is averaging 23.1 points per game this playoffs after averaging 14.4 in the regular season. That would be the highest postseason PPG by a WNBA player (min. 3 playoff games) who averaged sub-15.0 PPG in that regular season.

This is since the NFL began officially tracking yards in 1932.

In NFL history, only 3 times has a team had a winning record through 6 games despite not having any player rush for 50+ yards in any of those games. It was the @packers all 3 times (1935, 1941, 2026).

At 200 pounds, Kyler Gordon is the lightest NFL player (by listed weight) to have a game with 3+ sacks and 2+ forced fumbles since the Oilers' Rod Kush (188 lbs) on September 15, 1985 against Washington.

Jesse Legree of @BeaverFootball has 1040 receiving yards and 14 receiving TDs. The other FBS players this century to reach 1000 YDs/14 TDs through 7 team games: Justin Blackmon (OSU, 2010), Michael Crabtree (TTU, 2007) and Larry Fitzgerald (Pitt, 2003).

@GatorsFB QB Tramell Jones Jr. is the fourth QB over the last 15 seasons to win his first career start while throwing for multiple touchdowns and zero interceptions against an AP Top 10 opponent (Max Johnson, Kyle Kempt, Kenny Hill).

Bear Bachmeier is one of five Big 12 QBs all-time to win at least 17 of his first 19 starts. With a win on Saturday, he would become the first Big 12 QB to begin their career 18-2 since Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden (2010-11).

The @CleGuardians have won their last 2 home games after dropping their first 2 of this postseason. The only team in MLB history to win 3+ straight home playoff games after losing their first 2 was the 1981 New York Yankees.
