NEW YORK, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Statistical highlights from Sunday's NFL games:
-- There were three return touchdowns of at least 75 yards in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's 21-17 win over Minnesota, two interceptions and one kickoff return. It was the first time in NFL history a game featured three 75-yard returns for touchdowns in the fourth period.
-- New England's 35-7 win over Tampa Bay in London was the 17th straight regular-season victory for the Patriots over teams from the NFC. That is the longest winning streak for any team against members of the opposite conference since the 1970 merger. New England scored 80 unanswered points in two weeks, the league's longest such streak in 17 years.
-- The New York Jets became only the second team since 1960 to have at least 300 rushing yards in consecutive games. They gained 318 last week and 316 Sunday against Oakland.
-- Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning moved into fourth place on the all-time completions list. His 23 against St. Louis Sunday gave him 3,995 for his career, advancing him past Warren Moon (3,988).
-- Houston's Andrew Johnson surpassed 7,000 receiving yards in the 93rd game of his career. That ties Chad Ochocinco of Cincinnati for the seventh-fewest games to reach that milestone.
-- Darren Sharper of New Orleans produced the 11th interception return for a touchdown in his career, putting him just one behind all-time leader Rod Woodson.
-- Indianapolis Coach Jim Caldwell has started his NFL head coaching career 6-0, as has Denver's Josh McDaniels. They are the first rookie coaches to get off to 6-0 starts in the same season since the 1970 merger.
