Each of the @Raptors' last 32 games in the regular season have been decided by more than five points. That is one game away from tying the second-longest such stretch in NBA history (Spurs in 2022-23), behind the Thunder's 36-game run in 2024-25.

Tonight's game between Minnesota and San Jose was the fourth straight in which the Wild did not use a Canadian-born player. The only other such games in NHL history were two games by the Penguins in December 2000.

The @Jaguars upped their point differential to +108 with last night's win. The next-closest team is the 49ers at +58. It's the only time since the AFL-NFL merger one team was at +100 or better while the rest of the league was below +60 at the end of any day in November or later.

The Ravens are the first NFL team to start 3 different QBs in 3 straight games & lose all 3 by 20+ points since the Cowboys did so during their inaugural 1960 season in which they went 0-11-1 (Eddie LeBaron in Week 6, Don Meredith in Week 7, Don Heinrich in Week 8).
