Team and Individual Records
Some team records set in 1982 still stand. The following would remain team records if averaged and projected out to a full 16-game season:
- Fewest penalties allowed in a season (38)
- Fewest yards penalized in a season (297)
- Most fumbles in a game (8 vs. New York Jets, 12/12)
The following remains a record due to the shortened season, but is not on pace for a record if projected out to a full season:
- Fewest sacks allowed (11), only one short of the 12 allowed by the 1979 team
The following records set in 1982 have since been broken:
- Fewest passes intercepted (11, broken in 2002)
- Most rushing attempts by an opposing player (34 by John Riggins of Washington on 9/19, broken by Heath Sherman of Philadelphia on 10/6/1991)
- Most points placekicking, single game (14 by Bill Capece against Chicago on 1/1/83, later tied by three others and broken twice by Martin Gramatica)

Famous quotes containing the words team, individual and/or records:
“giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
“That children link us with the future is hardly news. . . . When we participate in the growth of children, a sense of wonder must take hold of us, providing for us a sense of future. Without the intimation of concrete individual futures, it is hardly worth bothering with social change and improvement.”
—Greta Hofmann Nemiroff (20th century)
“It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
