Most NFL teams do it 58% of the time.
Only one team can score first, so we make the two numbers add up to 100%.
AnswerBoth teams are just as likely to score first.
Chicago also got one first TD from a linebacker. New England also got one first TD from a defensive back.
Counting all TDs in the last 10 games, not just the first: New England gives up the most to wide receivers (53%), and Chicago gives up the most to wide receivers (41%).
AnswerAgainst New England, look at wide receivers. Against Chicago, look at running backs. Chicago also scores first with a running back a lot. New England also scores first with a wide receiver a lot.
Each team scored first in 1 of the last 2 games between them.
Both of these players have left the team they scored for.
DeMario Douglas has 4 of New England's 13 first TDs. That is the most on the team.
D'Andre Swift has 3 of Chicago's 13 first TDs. That is the most on the team.
