Around the AFL

This week's news & notes ...

-On the all-time all-purpose yards list, Phily WR Chris Jackson and Arizona WR Siaha Burley need only 28 and 59 yards, respectively, to pass Eddie Brown, who is fourth on the career list. Brown had 16,437 all-purpose yards. Barry Wagner tops the list with 21,054.

-San Jose DB Clevan Thomas is one INT short of breaking a tie with Wagner to gain sole possession of third on the all-time INT list. Both have 48.

-How consistent has Dallas been? With a win this week, the team can become the first in AFL history to record 13 or more regular-season wins in three separate seasons.

Afl-Georgia WR Troy Bergeron needs nine catches this week to become the first player ever in the AFL to post 100 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons.

-Cleveland RB Marlion Jackson and Tampa Bay RB Torrance Marshall each need two rushing TDs to reach 25 for the season. That would mark the first time two backs have achieved that feat in the same season.

-Utah LB Kelvin Morris already has set a rookie best with six fumble recoveries. With one more, he can set the league record.

-With 15 points, San Jose kicker A.J. Haglund will set the AFL record for points in a season by a kicker. He has 171 right now.
