There have been 3,257 instances all-time of an NHL team being scoreless & down by 4+ goals with under 3:00 left (reg or post). Of those 3,257 teams, 3,256 could do no better than cut the deficit in half. All except the @NHLJets on Tuesday. They came all the way back to win.

The @ChicagoBears are the first team in NFL history to beat both Super Bowl participants from the previous season in primetime in back-to-back games.

The @memgrizz are the second team in NBA history to start a season 6-0 after winning 25 or fewer games the previous season. The other was the 2007-08 Celtics, who went on to win the NBA Championship that season.

Luka Dončić of the @Lakers is the first player in NBA history to have a 4-game span with: 175+ points 35+ rebounds 30+ assists 25+ threes made

Cameron Boozer is the second player all-time to record a triple-double in the NBA before he ever lost a game in the NBA. The other was Oscar Robertson, who had a triple-double in a victory in his NBA debut on October 19, 1960.

The @Brewers' Jackson Chourio has 10 hits and three stolen bases through four World Series games. The only other player to reach those marks in a four-game span of a single World Series was Lou Brock in 1968.

Robert Gasser of the @Brewers is the second pitcher in World Series history to finish a start of 6.0 or more innings having faced the minimum number of batters. The other was Don Larsen in his 1956 perfect game.

The Buccaneers are the second team in NFL history with a pass TD, rush TD, field goal, defensive TD and special teams TD/returned XP in a single quarter. They join the Jets in Week 1, 2018 (3Q vs. DET).

Amen Thompson is the only NBA player in the last 25 seasons to have a game-winning block (block on game-tying or go-ahead shot) in the final five seconds of a game against a player at least nine inches taller than them.

This World Series will be the 2nd championship-round matchup in the NBA, NFL, MLB or NHL between two franchises who had each been in the league for 25+ years without ever winning the title. The other was the 1999 Stanley Cup Final (Stars vs. Sabres).

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.

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).

The @Brewers are the first MLB/NBA/NHL team to sweep a best-of-7 series against a team that swept them in a best-of-7 the previous postseason.

In each of his last 8 starts dating back to the regular season, Freddy Peralta of @RaysBaseball has: allowed 5 hits or fewer allowed 1 run or fewer had his team win the game That's the longest streak by any traditional starter in MLB's modern era (reg & post).

The White Sox are seeking their first ever win in a winner-take-all game. Chicago is the only MLB team without a win in this situation. The Guardians are 2-9 (.182) in winner-take-all games, the worst record in MLB history among teams that have played at least seven such games.

Dak Prescott is 13-7 all-time on Thursdays, one win shy of Tom Brady for the most by any QB in NFL history. The Cowboys' 45 wins are one shy of tying the Lions for the most ever, while the Bucs' five wins on Thursday are tied for the fewest of any current franchise.

Bryan Baker of @RaysBaseball is the only MLB pitcher to save every game of a 3+ game sweep in the postseason while not allowing a single hit (since saves became official in 1969).

This is the first time in MLB history 2 Japanese-born pitchers earned wins in the postseason on the same day (Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Yuki Matsui).

Jackson Chourio is the second MLB player to deliver a postseason walkoff hit with his team trailing & with a pitcher who led his league in saves during the regular season on the mound (since saves became official in 1969). The other was Kirk Gibson off Dennis Eckersley in 1988.

Deonte Banks' 98-yard interception return for a touchdown is the second-longest touchdown with 00:00 left on the clock since the NFL/AFL merger, behind Brock Marion's 100-yard return to end the game on January 6, 2002, between the Dolphins and Bills.
