With Lombardi's help, Kittle registered his second-consecutive and fourth overall 1,000-yard season, giving him the third-most 1,000-yard seasons in franchise history and making him one of five tight ends in NFL history to tally four career seasons with 1,000-or-more yards.

With RB Josh Jacobs leading the NFL in rushing yards (1,653) and Adams registering 1,516 receiving yards, Lombardi's unit became just the fifth offense in NFL history, and the first since the 1999 Colts, to feature a 1,500-yard rusher and receiver in the same season.
