Statistics by season

UPDATED Updated Oct 5, 2026, 7:48 am EDT

Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.

Some rushing totals are unavailable because overlapping season records have missing or conflicting values. Other reconciled totals remain available.
