In the meantime, the two-time MVP entered an elite group after the win as one of just 10 quarterbacks in NFL history to defeat 31 teams in his career, as he has now defeated every team aside from his own.

In addition, the 28-year-old quarterback has written his name into NFL history books with Sunday’s victory in Minnesota, turning into the first quarterback to accomplish an NFL record before turning 30. The achievement demonstrates his amazing capacity to continuously outperform every NFL organization.

Reportedly, Kirk Cousins of the Vikings also defeated 30 other opponents.
