"On Sunday, Ferguson became the first tight end in NFL history to record 50 or more receptions and six touchdown catches in the first seven games of a season. It's a remarkable achievement for a player who just one year ago was battling injuries and struggling to find rhythm without his starting quarterback. Think about all of the great tight ends in NFL history that never reached this milestone."
"Through seven games, Ferguson has tallied 51 receptions for 334 yards and six touchdowns, a stat line that reflects consistency and reliability more than flash. His 6.5 yards per reception may not leap off the page, but it underscores how crucial he's been in short-yardage and red-zone situations. Prescott has leaned heavily on his tight end early and often, particularly when defenses collapse on Lamb or Pickens downfield."
"What makes Ferguson's hot start even more impressive is the timing of his production. After a quiet first few weeks, all six of his touchdowns have come in the last four games, coinciding with Dallas' offensive surge. His ability to find soft spots in zone coverage and win leverage battles near the goal line has made him a favorite target when it matters most."
The Dallas offense has scored at least 37 points in four of seven games and surpassed 40 three times, powered by multiple playmakers. Jake Ferguson became the first NFL tight end to record 50 or more receptions and six touchdown catches in the first seven games of a season. Through seven games he has 51 receptions for 334 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 6.5 yards per catch. He has been especially valuable in short-yardage and red-zone situations as Dak Prescott targets him when defenses focus on other receivers. All six touchdowns came in the last four games, after an injury-affected prior season.
