2026 season

League leaders

Who leads the NFL, by the numbers. 32 of 32 clubs have played, so these are 2026 numbers.

Passing yards · Rushing yards · Receiving yards · Tackles · Sacks · Interceptions (defense)

Regular season only. These are the source's leaderboards, which stop at the end of week 18 — a player page counts his playoff games too, so a season figure there can be the larger of the two. A quarterback with a playoff run behind him is carrying two true totals for the same year, and the difference between them is those games.
