In the third quarter of Atlanta's Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, Bijan exceeded 2,176 scrimmage yards, surpassing the great William Andrews' 1983 mark. In the end, there will be no asterisk about it happening in a 17 game season versus a 16 game season; Bijan got it done in spectacular fashion with a pair of touchdowns and a career-long 93 yard touchdown run in the mix.

NEW YORK - Egor Demin scored 17 points, Noah Clowney added 16 and the Brooklyn Nets matched the franchise record for margin of victory, never trailing in a 127-82 romp over the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night. The 45-point victory tied the team record set Jan. 9, 1993, against Washington while the team was playing in New Jersey. The Nets have won four of six after opening 3-13. At home, they have won three of four after starting 0-9.

Throughout his career, Alex Ovechkin has been absolutely money on the power play (...until recently but let's not really talk about that, okay? Happy thoughts only...) - and by the 2013-14 season, Ovechkin was one of just three players in franchise history to have scored at least 20 power-play goals in a single season. The others? Dennis Maruk, who scored exactly 20 in 1981-82, and Peter Bondra, who set the new franchise record in 2000-01 with 22.

"But I can go out and help the boys win every night, do something, get an RBI, make a play, do something that - I'm going to have to shift my focus there," Betts said. "Obviously everyone wants to have great seasons, but it's a lot easier when you just don't worry about the season. You just worry about game to game. I'll take this perspective for the rest of my career."
