What happened: Christian McCaffrey can claim sole possession of the Super Bowl-era running back receiving touchdown record on Sunday, per James Palmer. The milestone pursuit comes in the same week Faulk announced he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's.

Why it matters: Surpassing Faulk establishes a new all-time standard at the position for pass-catching scoring production dating back to the start of the Super Bowl era in 1966.

What to watch: One touchdown reception in Sunday's Week 7 action moves McCaffrey to 37 career receiving scores and gives him the record outright.
