Tuesday marks 100 days until the NFL regular season kicks off.

To recognize that milestone until the start of the season, ESPN’s Stats & Information provides these “100”-themed statistical notes.

Jones’ 178-yard game in Week 16 tied for the 10th-most receiving yards in one game last season.

Brandon Marshall, Zach Ertz and Allen Robinson had two consecutive 100-yard receiving games at the end of last season.

• Rashad Jennings, four games

The New York Giants running back broke the century mark largely on the strength of his rushing.

He had successive weeks of 102, 107, 136 and 176 scrimmage yards in Weeks 14 through 17. Jennings had more than 100 yards rushing alone in Weeks 15 and Week 17, both of which — characteristic of the Giants’ season — were losses by less than a touchdown.

The Falcons’ Jones, with his three consecutive 100-yard receiving games, has the second-longest streak behind Jennings.
